Help! Psychology - Study Design and IV & DV!

Hi Guys,

Please give your opinion on what you think the IV (Independent Variable) and DV (Dependent Variable) and the study design is for the following study:

Practitioner attitudes towards patients in forensic mental health settings.

Quantitative analysis.

Testing 1 group, consisting of 50 participants (Practitioners).

What do you think ?!
IV-different practitioners
DV-attitudes towards patients in forensic mental health settings, Quantitative analysis.
Hi,

Have a look at your hypothesis, it should clearly state what you are looking at, for example

It is hypothesised that xx (IV) with have an effect on yy (DV)

or

It is hypothesised that xx is positively correlated with yy

They are overly simplified, but you get the idea.
