List the dependent variable:

DV
Two variables were measured: intrinsic motivation and task performance.
Intrinsic motivation was measured two ways, by use of a self-report measure and a behavioral measure. The self-report measure was adapted from the adapted from the Academic Motivation Scale. The behavioral method was a free-choice of the participants during two 10 minute “rest” periods. Participants could either relax, read magazines or work on anagrams. The experimenter rated how much the participants choose anagrams using a 5 point scale.
dependent variable: score on choosing anagrams.
Independent variable: relaxing, reading, or anagram work.
Based on the information provided, the dependent variable (DV) in this study is "task performance."
To find the dependent variable, you need to identify which variable is being measured or observed as the outcome or response in the study. In this case, the researchers measured two variables: intrinsic motivation and task performance. However, since they specifically mention that intrinsic motivation was measured in two ways (self-report measure and behavioral measure), and then go on to describe the behavioral method used to measure it, the focus of the study seems to be on the relationship between procedural justice, interactional justice, and task performance, with task performance being the outcome variable.
