What Is Research?: Why We Conduct Research?

Research involves careful, objective examination and study of topics through collecting information. There are typically independent and dependent variables involved. Independent variables are those that the researcher manipulates or controls, like amounts of treatment in an experiment, while dependent variables are those that are observed and measured as potential effects of the independent variable, like results of a treatment. It is important for researchers to identify the variables in their study and how they may relate and influence each other. Other variable types can include extraneous or confounding variables that should be controlled for but may still impact results.

determine the variables
involved in your study.
BASIC TYPES OF VARIABLES
CAUSE CHANGES IN THE
SUBJECT
INDEPENDENT EXAMPLE OF VARIABLES IN
SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS.
VARIABLES • If a scientist conducts an
experiment to test the theory
that a vitamin could extend a
person’s life expectancy then:
the independent variable is the
amount of vitamin that is given
to the subjects within the

• An example of a dependent

VARIABLE RELATIONSHIP

The two variables, independent


and dependent are part and parcel
of the research because the first one
is the cause; the second, the effect
that you can subject to any form of
measurement.
VARIABLE RELATIONSHIP

As you carry out your research,


it is possible that one, two, or more
variables or extra variables crop up
to create impact on the relationship
between dependent and
independent variables.
VARIABLE RELATIONSHIP

Extraneous variables like age,


gender, personality traits may
suddenly surface to create effects
on the relationships of the two basic
variables
Extraneous variables are to be
controlled by the researcher
• Extraneous variables exist as “nuisance
