Question: 1 / 400

What characterizes dependent variables in experimental research?

The conditions controlled by researchers

The impacts or results of a study

Dependent variables refer to the outcomes or results that are being measured in an experiment. They are not controlled by researchers but rather affected by the independent variable, the condition that is being manipulated. This means that options A and C are incorrect, as they refer to the independent variable and constant variables, respectively. Option D, the hypothesis being tested, is also incorrect as it is a statement made at the beginning of the experiment and does not characterize the dependent variable.
