Hypothesis Formulation
Once you have identified you research question, it is
time to formulate your hypothesis. While the research
question is broad and includes all the variables you
want your study to consider, the hypothesis is a
statement that specific relationship you expect to find
from your examination of these variables. When
formulating the hypothesis(es) for your study, there
are a few things you need to keep in mind.
Good hypotheses meet the following criteria:
1) Identify the independent and dependent variables to be studied.
2) Specify the nature of the relationship that exists between these
variables.
3) Simple (often referred to as parsimonious). It is better to be concise
than to be longwinded. It is also better to have several simple
hypotheses than one complicated hypothesis.
4) Does not include reference to specific measures.
5) Does not refer to specific statistical procedures that will be used in
analysis.
6) Implies the population that you are going to study.
7) Is falsifiable and testable.
