Those Factors That are Kept the Same in the Experimental

Question

Those factors that are kept the same in the experimental group and the control group are called:
A) control variables.
B) experimental variables.
C) manipulated variables.
D) observed variables.

Accepted Answer

Control variables are factors that are kept the same in both the experimental and control groups to ensure that any observed differences are due to the manipulated variable and not something else. Experimental variables are the factors that are deliberately manipulated in the experimental group. Manipulated variables are the same as experimental variables. Observed variables are the dependent variables that are measured in both the experimental and control groups to see the effect of the manipulated variable.
