The document discusses variables that can be included in research. It defines variables as factors that can be measured, manipulated, or controlled. Variables are classified as qualitative or quantitative, and can be independent, dependent, or other types. Examples of different variable types are provided. The objectives are to differentiate variable types and decide which to include in research. Two sample research topics are presented, identifying their independent, dependent, and other variables.
