A variable is considered dependent if it depends on an independent variable. Dependent variables are the outcome of the test they depend on, by some law or rule. Independent variables, on the other hand, are not seen as depending on any other variable in the scope of the experiment in question. Rather, they are controlled by the experimenter.
