Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The independent variable is the variable that is manipulated by the researcher, which in this case is the type of training the coaches received. The dependent variable is the outcome that is being measured, which is the level of satisfaction of the children with their sport experience. The extraneous variable is a variable that may affect the outcome but is not of interest in the study, and the control variable is a variable that is kept constant to prevent it from affecting the outcome.
