But if youâre confounded by the idea of a confound, then this post may help you to see the light. A somewhat formal definition of a confounding variable is âan extraneous variable in an experimental design that correlates with both the dependent and independent variablesâ. This is a terrible definition, full of words and phrases that mean nothing to 99% of the population.
Confounding variables are defined as interference caused by another variable. Extraneous variables are defined as any variable other than the independent and dependent variable. Control variables are variables that are kept the same in each trial. Lastly, the moderator variables are variables that increase or decrease the relationship between the independent and dependent variable.
