Intervening

/ˌɪntərˈvinɪŋ/ adjective

Definition

Coming between two things in time, place, or sequence; occurring in the middle of or during the period between events. Often describes factors that affect a relationship between other variables.

Etymology

From Latin 'intervenire' meaning 'to come between,' from 'inter' (between) and 'venire' (to come). The term developed in academic contexts to describe variables or events that mediate between cause and effect.

Kelly Says

Intervening variables are like translators between cause and effect—they help explain why A leads to C by showing the B that happens in between! They're crucial for understanding complex relationships in research.
