Independent variables are the variables that are manipulated or controlled by the researcher in an experiment. They are factors that are changed to observe how they influence the dependent variable.

Example: In a study examining the effect of studying duration on exam performance, the independent variable would be the duration of studying. The researcher can manipulate this variable by assigning different groups of participants to study for different lengths of time (e.g., 1 hour, 3 hours, or 5 hours).
