Eating Chocolate.
There is nothing stating what a cause variable is. A casual relation between two events exists if the occurrence of the first event causes the outcome of the other. This is also known as cause and effect.
the third variable problem is when an unintentional third variable influences two separate variables that are being measured. this causes a random and coincidental relationship between the two variables. An example would be as ice cream consumption goes up the number of drownings also goes up. the unintentional third variable in this case would be the heat.
This answer could have dozens of lines but essentially, in experimental research it's mandatory to manipulate the variables. In non-experimental studies you don't manipulate them.E.g.: if you want to see if fear is related to low self-esteem you can:a) create fearful situations, investigate the self-esteem and there you have an experimental study;orb) give a questionnaire to a group of persons asking when they feel fear and asking a series of questions that can access self-esteem.
Results do not effect Causes. Causes affect Results.

an independent variable
The independent variable represents the input or causes, or are tested to see if they are the cause.
The independent variable is also called an experimental variable. It is the variable being manipulated in the experiment in order to show the effect on the dependent variable. The dependent variable is also called the response variable. It is the variable being observed in the experiment. A change in the independent variable is what causes the change (if any) in the dependent variable, which is the purpose of the experiment.
The term "dependent variable" will have different meaning depending on whether it is used in the context of a mathematical expression or statistical experiment. As given in the related link: "In a statistics experiment, the dependent variable is the event studied and expected to change whenever the independent variable is altered." If we are conducting an experiment, where we believe "A" affects "B", for instance eating a lot of chocolate causes pimples, then "A" , eating chocolate is the independent variable and " B" is the event of getting pimples. Other definitions exists which convey the same concept. Other definitions may state that the dependent variable is the attribute or property being measured or identified and is the variable that is expected to change with alterations (manipulation) of the independent variable. See related link.
In an experiment, a factor or condition that is deliberately manipulated in order to determine whether it causes any change in another behavior or condition is an independent variable. The factor or condition that is measured at the end of an experiment and is presumed to vary as a result of the manipulations of the independent variables is called the dependent variable.
The independent variable causes changes in the dependent variable; the dependent variable is contingent on the manipulations of the independent variable.
The dependent variable is dependent on the independent variable, so when the independent variable changes, so does the dependent variable.
In math, The independent variable is the variable having something done to it.examples:a = 2bb2 + 4 = aa = 5 - bIn each of these, b is the independent variable and a is the dependent variable. You can make b be whatever you want it to be but a is dependent on what be is set to. In science, the independent variable is the one factor that you change in an experiment.In a scientific experiment, you change one thing (the independent variable) and measure any consequent change in another thing (called the dependent variable, because its value depends on the independent variable). All other variables must be held constant to avoid confusing the issue.In practice, the independent variable is either what you alter (such as the acidity, or the temperature) or it is time passing (for example, in an experiment in which you measure the changes in someone's blood sugar levels at various times after eating a meal)._______________________________________________________________________________________________________A factor or phenomenon that causes or influences another associated factor or phenomenon called a dependent variable. For example, income is an independent variable because it causes and influences another variableconsumption. In a mathematical equation or model, the independent variable is the variable whose value is given. In an experiment, it is the controlled condition(that is allowed to change in a systematic manner) whose effect on the behaviorof a dependent variable is studied. Also called controlled variable, explanatory variable, or predictor variable. Refer to Business dictionary for more information.
The independent variable is the variable that you change and manipulate in an equation. This causes the dependant variable to change.
Variables used in an experiment or modelling can be divided into three types: "dependent variable", "independent variable", or other.The "dependent variable" represents the output or effect, or is tested to see if it is the effect.The "independent variables" represent the inputs or causes, or are tested to see if they are the cause. Other variables may also be observed for various reasons.
