What is the dependent and independent variable in the following scenario?

Q: A cross sectional study is carried out to examine whether Navy personnel of a higher rank have more positive coping skills than those of a lower rank. Which statement is true?





A: Neither variable is dependent, as they cannot be manipulated.


B: Independent is rank, dependent is coping skills.


C: Independent is coping, dependent is low rank.|||If my year 9 science teacher speaks the truth, the independent variable is the one you change, the dependant the one you measure.





So you change the rank, and measure the coping ability.


So its B.
