"Between-subjects" variable refers to a variable that is manipulated between different subjects in a study. This means that different groups of subjects are allocated different levels of the variable, and their responses are compared to determine the effect of the variable on the dependent variable. This is in contrast to "within-subjects" variable where the same individuals are tested under different conditions or levels of the variable. Confounding variables are extraneous variables that can affect the dependent variable and make it difficult to determine the true effect of the independent variable.
