Identifying Variables
1. Describe the difference between an independent and dependent variable.
2. Locate a QUANTITATIVE peer-reviewed journal article in your field and answer the following questions.
· What are the research questions?
· What are the independent variables?
· What are the dependent variables?
· How did the authors measure the dependent variables?
3. Identify possible variables for your own study.
1. For quantitative studies,
1. What are the independent variables?
2. What are the dependent variables?
3. What are some ways you could measure the dependent variables?
2. For qualitative studies,
1. What is the variable of interest/phenomenon?
2. What are some ways you plan to collect data to measure the variable of interest/phenomenon?
