- Response variable (dependant variable) measures an outcome of a study.
Observational study observes individuals and records variables but doesn't attempt to influence the response (does not impose a treatment). It allows the researcher to directly observed the behavior of inteest rather than rely on the subject's self-descriptions (Survey) thus allowing the researcher to study the subject in its natural environment, thus removing the potentiallybased effect of the unnatural laboratory setting on the subject's performance.
