Variables

The dependent variable is one that depends on other factors that are being measured. The dependent variable changes as a result of the manipulations of the independent variables. On the other hand, the independent variable is the stable variable that is not affected by other variables being measured. It is the variable that is an experiment that is analytically varied by the researchers. This study sought to examine the maximizing and satisficing tendencies of students. The independent variables are maximizing tendencies, option fixation, reliance on external influences, negative affect and outcome satisfaction. The dependent variable was the job market performance. 

Maximizing tendencies was defined as seeking the best option using the searches available. Option fixation was defined as the tendency of a participant to have a fixation on the choices availed to him. Reliance on external influence was defined as the measure of depending on outside sources to make a decision. Job market performance was the measure at which participants participated in job search in terms of interviews they had secured. The negative effect was defined as the negative feelings of participants as they participated in the job search. Outcome satisfaction was defined as the degree to which participants felt satisfied with the job offer.
