Document Summary
Are the product of the concept-indicator link. Values of an indicator vary according to case. Gender: how many people are male? (the analysis is only of one variable) We usually have more than one variable. Multivariate analysis: more than two variables (like your content analyses) Proper use of the laptop during class time is determined by the gender of the user. You need to make a choice and then make a statement as to which variable is independent and which is dependent. Our statement says that gender is the independent variable and laptop use is the dependent variable. You may have an intervening variable such as the colour of the laptop. You may find that there is a positive relationship between gender and laptop use. Females use their laptops more appropriately than males. The higher the female population the more appropriate the laptop use.
