Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An intervening variable is a variable that exists between an independent variable (such as food deprivation or prolonged exercise) and a dependent variable (such as weight loss or increased energy). Hunger is an intervening variable because it is a physiological state that occurs between food deprivation and increased intake of food. Increased intake of carbohydrates and prolonged exercise may be dependent variables influenced by hunger or other intervening variables.
