Research 2

A research hypothesis predicts the relationship between two or more variables and is formulated to be tested through a study. It should explain what the researcher expects to find. An assumption is an unexamined belief that forms the basis of research but is not empirically tested. There are different forms a hypothesis can take, including declarative (stating a relationship), null (stating no difference), question, alternative (anticipating a difference), and predication (stating expected principles).

A research hypothesis is a conjectural statement, a logical supposition, a


reasonable guess, and an educated prediction about the nature of the relationship
between two or more variables that we expect to happen in our study. Unless you
are creating an exploratory study, your hypothesis should always explain what you
expect to happen during your experiment or research. Remember, a hypothesis
does not have to be correct. While the hypothesis predicts what the researchers
expect to see, the goal of the research is to determine whether this guess is right or
wrong. When experimenting, researchers might explore some different factors to
determine which ones might contribute to the outcome. When a proposition is
formulated for empirical testing, we call it a hypothesis. Almost all studies begin
with one or more hypotheses. A hypothesis, more specifically, a research
hypothesis, is formulated to predict an assumed relationship between two or more
variables of interest. Hypotheses are stated in terms of the particular dependent
and independent variables that are going to be used in the study.

On the other hand, an assumption is an unexamined belief: what we think without


realizing we think it. Our inferences (also called conclusions) are often based on
assumptions that we haven’t thought about critically. A critical thinker, however,
is attentive to these assumptions because they are sometimes incorrect or
misguided. An assumption is a belief that forms one of the bases for the research.
This belief is not to be tested or supported with empirical data. Very often belief is
not stated in a research proposal. Explicit consideration of consistently applied
assumptions is useful for identifying the theoretical boundaries of any field of
research, as they serve as the foundation for a body of connected and interlocking
theories, shared and developed by a homogenous group or community of
researchers. In academic writing, an assumption is regarded as unexamined belief;
that is what we are considering without realizing it. Inarguably all research works
conclude based on the assumption that the authors have not critically examined.
Deciding what assumptions might arise in your readers’ minds is one of the
primary functions to be carried out when writing a research paper. Without a
doubt, assumptions are the foundation of any credible and valid research work. In
fact, without assumptions, research problems cannot be found as they determine
the conclusions that would be gotten from your research work.

3. Declarative hypothesis

• It generally states a relationship between the variables concerned. When the


researcher makes a positive statement about the outcome if the study, the
hypothesis takes the declarative form.

Example: There will be a significant difference in the instructional standards of


boys and girls in schools.
✓ Null Hypotheses

• The null hypothesis is the negative statement.

• It states that no significant difference exists between the variables concerned.

• Null Hypothesis can be tested statistically. So it is termed as statistical hypothesis.

• When declarative hypothesis tested statistically by converting them to null form


they are also called testing hypothesis.

✓ Question Form Hypotheses

• Researcher having finalized their problem of research, raise certain questions


which must be answered through their research.

• Research questions are generally called interrogative hypothesis.

✓ Alternative Hypotheses

• It is one in which a difference between two or more variables is anticipated by the


researcher.

• It can be non- directional or directional.

✓ Predication Form Hypotheses

• It is chosen because it allows the research worker to state principles which he


actually expects to emerge from the experiment.

• It is more useful action research studies.

4. Hypothesis: It would be affected in some ways like students would be


experiencing Sleeping Problems, Anxiety Disorders, Fatigue or Stress and etc.
