Question

Identify the dependent and independent variables on the following scenario: A researcher is studying the effect of sleep on academic performance, thinking that less sleep will lead to lower grades. She has some people sleep six hours per night, some people sleep three hours per night, and some people sleep as much as they want. She then monitors academic behavior during English and math classes among participants.

Answer 1

and independent variable (IV) is a variable that is not dependant on something else. a dependant variable (DV) depends on something else.

in this situation the IV is the amount of sleep. The DV would be the academic behavior. if it was in a chart it would be like this

        X                                             Y
amount of sleep                 academic behavior 
        6                                              ?
        3                                              ?
as much as they want                     ?

Answer 2

In mathematical modeling and experimental statistics, variables have been considered.  The dependent variable in the study is academic performance. Sleep is the independent variable in the study.

In the research, an independent variable is one that is not affected by the other conditions. A dependent variable is one that changes with the change in the other variable in the study.

In the given study, the performance in academics has been studied os the function of sleep.

Since the increase or decrease in sleep performance in the academic has been affected. Thus, academics is dependent on sleep.

So, academic performance is the dependent variable in the study.

The amount of sleep is independent of any factor in the study. Thus sleep has been considered as an independent variable.
