When constructs are defined in measurable terms, they are called variables. Variables are measurable characteristic that assumes different values within a class of objects or events. Variables must vary. A construct that does not vary within a class of objects or events is called a constant. This lesson introduces you to the various types of variables in social science research. There are three main types of variables: Independent (IV) and dependent variables (DV) where the independent influences the dependent variable; we have confounding variables that confuses the primary relationship between IV and DV and moderating variables that mediates the relationship between IV and DV. Confounding variables are of two types: Intervening and Extraneous variables. This lesson will take you through these variables giving examples and revision questions to ease our understanding.

You didn't mentioned directional and non directionsl variables.

I'm not sure I know about those types of variables

@hedwigwirsiym.3790 Год назад

A question about neutralizing variables Doc . In the case of the example you gave that of selecting students from a particular socioeconomic status, which means convenient sampling will be done...my question now is isn't this bias and discrimination against the other students who will not participate in the studies and who would have loved to? Or even vise versa?

@research-methods-class Год назад

Your question is not clear. Secondly remember research design, sampling, instruments etc are determined by the research approach, whether Quan or Qual. None of this is perfect, bother have their strengths and limitations

@submit254 3 года назад

Hello Dr. I'm following up on the lectures slowly and I'm wondering, can I apply the knowledge I'm gaining here on Health sciences or is it specifically for Social sciences?

@research-methods-class 3 года назад

Hello Sparta. The information is very much applicable in Health Sciences. The only difference between natural science research and social science research is that natural science is more inclined to true experimental design while social sciences uses more of survey. Another difference is that while social sciences uses positivism, natural sciences uses constructivism. Otherwise, all the aspects are similar.

@submit254 3 года назад

Thanks for the clarification Dr.

@cathyhams Год назад

how can we use a mixed method to identify variables in a study in order to come up with a conceptual framework

@research-methods-class Год назад

The approach to research does not identify variables, its the problem that determines the approach. As you conduct literature to firm up the problem, you identify the variables. Access all my lessons on www.researchmethodsclass.com/research-methods-course/

Thank you so much Dr. can you please break the 3 elements in a lay mans language.

@research-methods-class Год назад

Which elements?

@aliyuhannatuundah8651 Год назад

Concepts Constructs Variables- dependent and independent

@stephentialal5532 3 года назад

Dr. Wambugu, does it add value to identify all the variables on a conceptual framework, ie The IV, confounding, moderating and DV or is it sufficient to have IV and DV only in a research project?

@research-methods-class 3 года назад

Hello Stephen. Thank you for your question. Normally, you do not have to identify all the variables in your study. However, a problem may dictate that you need to state the intervening and extraneous variables. Remember a moderating a second IV, so you may want to integrate it with the main IV of the study
