What difference in labeling do we use to keep the above difference between experiments and correlational studies clear.



Answer: The manipulated variable in an experiment is called the "IV." The measured variable in an experiment is called the "DV." Both variables in a correlational study are measured, so we name them in terms what we think they are doing, instead of what they are. The cause (of the other) is called the "predictor variable" and the effect (of the other) is called the "predicted variable."
