    This document discusses measurement and scaling in research. It defines a variable as a symbol used to represent characteristics that can be measured, such as age, gender, productivity, and job satisfaction. There are four types of variables: the dependent variable, which represents the outcome being measured; the independent variable, which represents the predictor or cause of the dependent variable; the moderating variable, which influences the relationship between independent and dependent variables; and the intervening variable, which mediates the relationship between independent and dependent variables.
