Explanation:
In an experiment looking at how sleep impacts test performance, the dependent variable would test performance because it's a measure of the participants' behavior. The dependent variable is dubbed dependent because it is thought to depend in some way on the variations of the independent variable.

The dependent variable is the behaviour of the person or animal in the experiment
Explanation:
In some cases, psychologists may conduct experiments to ascertain whether there is a "cause-and-effect" relationship between "different variables". The basics of conducting a "psycho-experiment" include
- "Randomly" assigning "participants' to groups
- "Operationally" defining "variables".
- "Developing" a "hypothesis"
- "Manipulating" the "independent variables"
- Measuring the "dependent variables".
- For example , researchers might conduct an analysis to see how sleep deprivation impairs driving efficiency. The experimenter may monitor other factors that might affect the result, but also adjust the amount of sleep which the "participants" would have the night before the "driving test". All participants will then would take the "same driving test" through a simulator or on a guided road.
- Through evaluating the findings, researchers will then assess if there have been improvements in the independent variable (sleep quantity) that have contributed to variations in the "dependent variable" (driving test performance). Experimentation is the dominant method, although other methods, such as case studies, naturalistic interpretation, & correlational research are commonly used in psychological science.
- A "dependent variable" is a variable whose variance depends on some other variable — generally an "independent variable". The "Independent variable" is a variable whose variance does not depend on any variable however on the experimenter.
