a variable that is not the
independent
variable but does vary
systematically
with the
IV
Changes in the
dependent
variable may be due to the confounding variable rather than the
IV
and therefore the outcome is
meaningless
They are
variables
that were
not controlled
in the study and so have
affected
the results
