Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a quasi-experimental study, the variable that is used to define the groups or conditions is called a quasi-independent variable, as it is not manipulated by the researcher, but occurs naturally or is selected based on pre-existing differences. The independent variable is the variable that is deliberately manipulated by the researcher, while the dependent variable is the variable being measured to determine the effect of the independent or quasi-independent variable. Quasi-dependent variables are not commonly used in research.
