Question

A psychologist is conducting an experiment on the effects of brainstorming instruction on problem-solving creativity. Participants are randomly assigned to an instruction or a no-instruction group. The creativity of all participants' problem solutions is later assessed. In this experiment, the creativity of problem solutions is the _____ variable.

Answer 1

Answer:

dependent

Explanation:

An independent variable refers to the variable that is altered or changed to determine the outcomes on the dependent variable in an empirical experiment.  The variable that is evaluated and analyzed in a scientific experiment is a dependent variable. One approach to recognize the dependent variable is to understand that it relies on the independent variable. When investigators implement adjustments to the independent variable after this they assess any alterations to the dependent variable.

As per the question, the creativity of problem solutions alters because of the assigned instruction or a no-instruction group, which makes it dependent variable
