Independent and Dependent Variables

[Wuensch, Karl L]

Researchers frequently use the terms "independent variable" and "dependent variable" when describing variables studied in their research.  I am of the opinion that these terms are frequently used inappropriately.  I am very interested in learning how YOU define these terms to students in your classes.     Please respond off-list to [EMAIL PROTECTED].  I shall post to the list a summary of responses received.  Thanks a bunch. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karl L.
