The independent variable is the one manipulated or changed by the researcher to observe its effect, while the dependent variable is the outcome or response measured to see the effect of the independent variable.

The dependent variable is not administered to the control group; it's measured in both the experimental and control groups to assess the impact of the independent variable.
