RESEARCH
ASSUMPTION
INTRODUCTION
• An assumption is a realistic expectation which is
something that we believe to be true.
• However, no adequate evidence exists to support this
belief.
• In other words, an assumption is an act of faith which
does not have empirical evidenced to support.
• Assumption provide a basis to develop theories &
research instrument & therefore, influence the
development & implement of research process.
DEFINITION
• Assumptions are statements that are taken
for granted or are considered true, even
through they have not been scientifically
tested.
• Assumption are principles those are
accepted as being true based on logic or
reasons, but without proof or verification.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
ASSUMPTION & HYPOTHESIS…
Assumptions Hypothesis
Assumption are basically beliefs &
ideas that we hold to be true
Hypothesis is a prediction
Often with little or no evidence & are
not statistically tested in research
Can be statistically tested & may be
accepted or rejected
Beliefs about the variables Predictions about the relationship of
two or more variables
Based on the beliefs, the researchers
attempt to discover the correlation
Predict a relation between variables &
statistically tested to conclude the
study
USES OF ASSUMPTION IN
RESEARCH
Research is built upon assumptions since a
foundation is needed to move forward. One
must assume something to discover something.
Assumptions listed in research paper may be
good sources of the research topics.
Assumption provide basis to conduct of the
research study.
Tested assumptions through research studies
expand the professionals body of knowledge.
TYPES OF ASSUMPTION
ASSUMPTION
Universal
assumptions
1. Universalassumption:
• Universal assumptions are beliefs that are
assumed to be true by a large part of
society, but testing such assumptions is
not always possible.
• For example, ‘there is a supernatural
power which governs this universe’.
2. Assumptions basedon
theories:
• Assumptions may also be drawn from
theories.
• If a research study is based on a theory, the
assumption of the particular theory may
become assumption of that particular
research study.
• For example, ‘a study on Roy’s Adaptation
Model will use assumption of this particular
theoretical model.’
3. Assumptions needed to
conduct a research:
• Some of the common-sense assumptions
may be developed to conduct a particular
study.
• For example, ‘prevalence of coronary artery
disease is more common among urban
people as compared to rural people’.
4. Warrantedassumption:
• These are stated along with evidence to
support.
• For example, ‘regular prayers bring
success because they boost morale’.
5. Unwarrantedassumptions:
• These are stated without any supportive
evidence.
• For example, ‘Almighty God exists
everywhere in this universe’.
