Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured and is expected to change as a result of the independent variable (in this case, different forms of psychotherapy). In this study, the dependent variable is the change in symptoms of anxiety, as this is what the researchers are trying to determine. The other options (B, C, and D) are not the dependent variable, as they are either independent variables or not variables being measured at all.
