Question

A Mediating variable explains:
____

Answer

A Mediating variable explains:
Why 2 things are related
Example: If someone makes the statement: "Whenever I watch tv at night, I feel tired the next morning"
The mediating variable in this case would be that the person didn't get enough sleep because they were watching tv last night. So not getting enough sleep mediates the relationship between tv watching and being tired.
