Question 19

Define each of the following terms and provide examples for each: predictor variable,criterion,and criterion measures.

Accepted Answer

A predictor variable is a variable that is used to make predictions about the value of another variable. It is also known as an independent variable. For example, in a study looking at the relationship between study time and exam scores, study time would be the predictor variable as it is used to predict the exam scores.

A criterion is the variable that is being predicted or explained by the predictor variable. It is also known as a dependent variable. Using the previous example, exam scores would be the criterion as they are being predicted or explained by the study time.

Criterion measures are the specific ways in which the criterion variable is measured. These measures can include tests, surveys, observations, or any other method used to assess the criterion variable. In the study time and exam scores example, the criterion measure would be the actual exam scores obtained by the participants.
