It states that variables can either be controlled or manipulated that can affect other variable which will receive its impact by changing it value that will soon be measured.

• Exhaustive

• Dependence

• Mutual Exclusive

• Confounding

Variables can have many types of attributes that are intended to be measured. This characteristic of variable suggests that researchers should have a limit with the inclusion of variable's attribute in research.

• Exhaustive

• Dependence

• Mutual Exclusive

• Confounding

It guides that variables cannot have two or more value based on one attribute

• Exhaustive

• Dependence

• Mutual Exclusive

• Confounding
