Q. Variables are events between the treatment and the post-test measurement that might affect the outcomes: (December 2022, UGC NET)

1. Background variable

2. Intervening variables

3. Extraneous variable

4. Alternative variable

Correct Ans: (2)

Explanation: Intervening variables, also known as mediating variables, are factors that occur between the independent (treatment) and dependent (outcome) variables in an experiment. These variables can influence the relationship between the treatment and the outcome, potentially affecting the results of the study. Identifying and controlling for intervening variables is crucial for ensuring the validity and reliability of research findings, as they can introduce bias and confound the observed effects.
