As described by Ellis in 1998, a variable is variable may be defined as ‘‘an empirical phenomenon that takes on different values or intensities’’ (Flannelly, Flannelly, & Jankowski, 2014). An independent variable is a variable which has an effect on other variables. However, as the name explains, a dependent variable is dependent on the independent variable and is subject to change. In a study, both dependent and independent variables make a difference.
