Q1: Research Hypothesis Flashcards
a tentative statement about the relationship between two or more variables
Hypothesis
It is a specific and testable prediction on what you expect to happen with the variables in your study
Hypothesis
it proposes a possible relationship between the independent variable (what the researcher changes) and the dependent variable (what the research
measures).
Hypothesis
It is also described as an “educated guess” of what possibly the result would be of your research, which should be supported on existing theories and knowledge.
Hypothesis
states a tentative answer to your research question that can be tested by further investigation in which you can support or refute it through scientific research methods such as data collection and statistical analysis.
Hypothesis
It is the central concept of any investigation that converts research questions into predictions and incorporates elements such as variables, population, and the relationship between factors
Hypothesis
7 Types of Research Hypothesis
Simple Hypothesis
Complex hypothesis
Empirical Hypothesis
Logical hypothesis
Statistical hypothesis
Null hypothesis
Alternative hypothesis
is denoted with the symbol (H a ). It is an alternate statement expressed to be tested in order to generate the desired output when the empirical or working hypothesis is not accepted.
Alternative hypothesis
is denoted with the symbol H o It exists when you consider that there is no relationship between the independent and dependent variables or that there is an insufficient amount of information to claim a scientific hypothesis
Null hypothesis
an analysis of a portion of a population. It can be verified statistically. The variables in a statistical hypothesis can be transformed into quantifiable sub-variable to assess it statistically
Statistical hypothesis
expresses explanation with limited evidence that can be verified logically. It reflects a relationship of the variables which are anchored based on logical phenomena.
Logical hypothesis
is also called as the “working hypothesis.” It is presumed to explain certain facts and relationships of phenomena. It comes to life when a theory is being put to the test, using observation and experiment
Empirical Hypothesis
From the name itself “working,” it would mean that it can be changed or replace anytime as soon as it is no longer supported or accepted base on the observation and experimentation being done. It is going through some trial and error and perhaps changing around those independent variables
Empirical Hypothesis
reflects the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable. It expresses a connection between two or more
independent variables and two or more dependent variables
Complex hypothesis
a prediction of the relationship between two variables, the independent variable and the dependent variable. It shows a connection between one independent variable and a single dependent variable
Simple Hypothesis
2 Classification of Hypothesis
Directional Hypothesis
Non-directional Hypothesis
relates the relationship between the variables and
can also predict its nature
directional hypothesis
It illustrates the direct association of the impact of the independent variable with the dependent variable, whether it is positively or negatively affected
directional hypothesis
is used when there is no principle involved
Non-directional Hypothesis
It is a premise that a relationship exists between two variables. However, the direction of the effect is not specifically determined
Non-directional Hypothesis
This relationship is not specified as negative or positive
Non-directional Hypothesis
Guidelines in Formulating Hypothesis
- Before writing your specific hypothesis, spend more time researching about the topic you are interested in. Focus on information and previous studies related to your topic.
- Your independent variable and dependent variable must be included in your hypothesis.
- The relationship of your variables must be reflected in your hypothesis.
- Your hypothesis should be simple and specific as possible.
- Your hypothesis should be concise and comprises clear and simple language.
- Your hypothesis should be testable without violating ethical standards.
- Your hypothesis must be falsifiable. It means that your hypothesis can be proven wrong through experiments or empirical data.
