affects crime, which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable?Explain the difference between independent and dependent variables. If you think that low self control?
Crime is the dependent, as it is the thing affected by low self control. This would make self control in general the independent variable, because people don't get low self control because of crime.Explain the difference between independent and dependent variables. If you think that low self control?
Independent and dependent variables are mathematical tools used in an experiment to keep track of what's going on. They allow you to maintain control over your experiment in a quantitative way. using them, you will be able to measure your results and draw accurate conclusions.





An independent variable is a stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure. For example, someone's age might be an independent variable. Other factors (such as what they eat, how much they go to school, how much television they watch) aren't going to change a person's age. In fact, when you are looking for some kind of relationship between variables you are trying to see if the independent variable causes some kind of change in the other variables, or dependent variables.





A dependent variable is something that depends on other factors. For example, a test score could be a dependent variable because it could change depending on several factors such as how much you studied, how much sleep you got the night before you took the test, or even how hungry you were when you took it. Usually when you are looking for a relationship between two things you are trying to find out what makes the dependent variable change the way it does.





(Time Spent Studying) causes a change in (Test Score) and it isn't possible that (Test Score) could cause a change in (Time Spent Studying).





Independent Variables are changes that occur in an experiment that are directly caused by the experimenter (you.)





Dependent Variables are changes that occur due to independent variables.





A Controlled Variable is anything else that could influence the dependent variables.
Self control= independent variable


Crime=dependent variable


y depends on x ( y being the dependent variable and x being the independent variable) so in you sentence low self control affects crime. The crime would depend on the self control.
