5. In case you've forgotten, we didn't get to do mediation on the last exam. Please use Nordling's data to conduct a mediation analysis. In that data file, you will see three variables regarding child-parent interactions: Responsiveness (how reliable the mothers positive responses to distress are), Effortful Control (the child's efforts and ability to behave well when distressed), and Extemalizing Behavior, which are behavioral and verbal expressions of emotionality that can get the child into trouble.

Explanation / Answer

The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable. An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable. A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.

Here dependent variable is Extemalizing Behaviour, which are behavioral and verbal expressions of emothinality that can get the child into trouble

Independent variable: Responsiveness and Effortful Control
