The dependent variable and the independent variable.
Explanation:
The study found that students who were identified as upper-class took more candies than others. Two variables were recorded in order to conclude these findings, the independent variable, and the dependent variable. The <em>independent variable</em> was the <em>social status</em>, upper-class students and lower-class students. The<em> dependent variable</em> was unethical behavior represented by the<em> number of candies</em> each student took. These candies were meant for children in a nearby laboratory.
