Some times. At other times it uses mutually dependent variables (changes in each variable affect the other).
When you do an experiment the variable you control is the independent variable, and the variable you measure is the dependent variable. The independent variable is controlled by the experimenter; the dependent variable is measured. In this case, corporate social responsibility is the independent variable, and the others are dependent variables.
In the context of a research study, money can be considered an independent variable if it is being manipulated or controlled to observe its effects on other variables. For example, in a study on consumer behavior, researchers may manipulate the amount of money given to participants to see how it influences their purchasing decisions. However, money can also be considered a dependent variable if it is being measured or observed to understand how other factors, such as income level or economic policies, impact its distribution or circulation in an economy.
An independent variable does not change. It is independent of everything else In research, there needs to be a dependant variable.
The dependent variable is the variable that the researcher does not control. The researcher will change one variable called the independent variable (ex. temperature, amount of sunlight, amount of food, etc.) and then observe the corresponding dependent variable (ex. reaction of organism, amount of plant growth, swimming speed, etc.)
