Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dependent variable is the variable being measured or tested in the study. In this case, Katrina is comparing the social skills of students who attended formal Pre-Kindergarten programs with those who did not. Therefore, social skills are the dependent variable in her study.

Answer: A and D are not the dependent variables as they are not being measured or compared in the study. B is also not the dependent variable as it is the independent variable (the variable being manipulated or controlled by the researcher).
