Kuoch and Mirenda (2003) conducted a single case design in which they looked at the influences of a social story on the behavior
of autistic children. The researchers would observe the participants in certain problem situations, recording their behavior. Then, the researchers would read the participants a story before a problem situation was presented. They would then record the number of behaviors exhibited by the participants in relation to the problem situation. Finally, the researchers removed the story and recorded the number of behaviors the next time the problem situation arose. What is the dependent variable in this study?
number of behaviors of each participant to a specific situation
Explanation:
Each participant would be exposed to the same story and the same problem situation. The number of behaviors of each participant under story and under under problem situation would be recorded. Here number of behaviors of each participant is the dependent variable.
Explanation: Variables in an experimental research design are categorized into dependent and independent variables. Dependent variables are the measured variable in an experimental research showing variation in attribute with changes in the independent variable.
In the experiment described above, the dependent variable is the number of behaviors exhibited by the participants as they vary the independent variable, by firstly observing the problem situation of the participant, then reading them a story before presenting the problem situation and also after removal of the problem.
