In this scenario, the level of happiness would be considered the dependent variable. The dependent variable is what researchers measure in an experiment and is influenced by the independent variable, which, in this case, would be paying people or the presence of money. Dr. Goodwin wants to determine whether paying people influences their happiness, so happiness is the outcome or response variable that depends on the experimental manipulation (independent variable) of paying people.
