Following the game, the subjects are then asked to rate their level of desire for having intercourse with an attractive man or woman as depicted on a TV screen. Which part of Dr. Allen's experiment represents the dependent variable?
a. the subjects ratings of their level of sexual desire
b. the subjects themselves
c. the level of stress evoked by the games
d. Dr. Allen himself
