Variable: any event, situation, behavior, or individual characteristic that varies. Must have 2 or more levels or values. Situational: describe characteristics of a situation or environment (e. g. spatial density of a classroom, temperature in the gym) Response: responses or behaviors of individuals (e. g. , reaction time, time to complete a 10k) Participant/subject: individual differences, characteristics (e. g. , gender, intelligence, height) Two variables are related such that if one increases the other also increases (e. g. , weight and height) Two variables are related such that if one increases the other decreases (e. g. , golf scores and years of experience) Two variables are related such that as something increases the other increases to a point where it then decreases (e. g. , arousal and. If we have really low levels of arousal we"re not going to care.
