- 19. based on direct observations and measurements of reality
- 20. the variable that you manipulate
- 21. describing two or more events that cannot occur simultaneously.
- 22. a specific statement of prediction stating what you expect will happen in your study.
- 23. the central issue being addressed in the study, which is typically phrased in the language of theory.
- 25. an element that has quantity or quality that varies.
- 28. when one variable causes another to change
