Dependent Variable

(IV). If you find that sentence length is partly a function of the number of

prior arrests, then sentence length is being treated as a dependent

based. sometimes this involves the generalization of findings from a

sample to a population. other times it is a matter of concepts; if you are

able to discover why people commit burglaries, can you generali ze that

discovery to other crimes as well?




Independent variable


✓ -:- An independent variable is persumed to cause or determine a

dependent variable. if we discover that police cynicism is partly a function

of years of experience, than experience is the independent variable and

cynicism is the dependent variable. Note that any given variable might be

treated as independent in one part of an analysis. cynism might become

an independent variable in the explanation of job satisfaction




Instrumentation


✓ -:- Changes in the measurement process

ex: if they use two different tests for the pretest and posttest.




Maturation


✓ -:- Natural (often age linked) change in the DV over time
