Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Experimental psychologists perform experiments through use of hypothesis (a proposed explanation), defining variables, randomly assigning research participants, and manipulating independent variables. The dependent variable is never manipulated, as it is what is affected during the experiment, and therefore, fluctuates or changes, based on the independent variables' manipulation.
