target variables
Explanation:
I think that "target" for "objetivo" fits your context well. Below I'm copying a reference text.

Luck!


"The present study investigated theoretically and empirically derived similarities and differences between the constructs of enduring happiness and self-esteem. Participants (n = 621), ages 51 to 95, completed standardized measures of affect, personality, psychosocial characteristics, physical health, and demographics. The relationship between each of the two target variables (happiness and self-esteem) and the full set of remaining variables was assessed through a series of successive statistical analyses: 1) simple Pearson's correlations, 2) partial correlations, 3) simultaneous multiple regression analyses, and 4) stepwise logistic regression analyses"

That sounds perfect.

Dito (sorry, don't know how to answer in your message) - I think a typo might have been possible once, but not the same one twice in the same paragraph - although stranger things have happened.

dependent variables


Explanation:
En medicina, epidemiología, y "clinical research", el nombre específico para "variable objetivo" es "dependent variable" o bien "endpoint variable". Es la variable (o 2 variables) que permanece(n) "fija(s)" (por ej. mortalidad, o como en este caso, felicidad y auto-estima), mientras todas las otras variables (las independientes) pueden o no entrar en el análisis (edad, enfermedades previas, hábito de fumar, consultas anuales al Psicólogo, etc).

Hope this helps you next time....
