Remember that anything that is independent does not need anything else and anything that is dependent relies on something else.•

Dependant variable is affected by another variable. That 'another variable' is the independant variable. For example, the heght and age of a person. Height is the dependant variable and age is independent because the height of a person depends on how old he is. The age of the person does not depend on how tall he is. The dependant variable usually goes on the y-axis when graphing.

The independent variable is the manipulated variable - it is systematically varied.
The dependent variable is the measured variable (i.e. it depends on what the level of the independent variable is)
e.g. effect of alcohol (measured in standard drinks) on driving performance (measured on scale 1-50)
The IV is amount of alcohol (# standard drinks)
THe DV is the score (1-50) --> the more drinks the lower your score, the less drinks the higher your score
