| A variable assumed to be dependent or be affected or caused by another (called the independent variable). If A is the result of the function of B, A is dependent variable. We can think A is a dependent variable because A is caused by the B('s function); A depends upon B('s function); A is affected by B('s function); A is effected by B('s function). | A variable assumed to be dependent or be affected or caused by another (called the independent variable).

| -- An independent variable is presumed to cause or determine a dependent variable. B is an independent variable, if B causes A, B affects A, B has an impact on A, B has effects on A. In the above case, the frustration causes aggressive responses. Therefore, frustration is the independent variable. | -- An independent variable is presumed to cause or determine a dependent variable.
