the researcher’s expectations Guides the research design Dictates the type of statistical analysis to be
used

Simple Hypothesis

Complex Hypothesis
Two or more independent variables, two or more dependent variables, or bothExample: More postpartum depression and feelings of inadequacy are reported by women who give birth by cesarean section than those who deliver vaginally.

Interaction Effects
The action of two variables in conjunction with each otherExample: Daily weight loss is greater for adults who follow a reduced calorie diet and exercise daily than for those who do not follow a reduced calorie diet and do not exercise daily.

Directional Hypotheses
States the direction of the relationship Makes a prediction between variables Comes from conceptual/theoretical
frameworks or previous research

Statistical Analyses
Evaluates the Null Hypothesis Significance level in nursing at or below .05

Non directional Research Hypotheses
Predicts a relationship between variables Does not predict direction of relationship
Example: There is a relationship between serotonin levels and SIDS.

Directional Research Hypothesis
Predicts the direction of the relationship Makes researchers’ expectation clear Allows precise statistical testing
Example: People who smoke are more likely to develop lung cancer than those who do not.

Nondirectional Research Hypotheses
The study has no theory to base the prediction on
Previous research findings may be contradictory

A Hypothesis Should (criteria)
be written in a declarative sentence be written in the present tense specify the population to be studied reflect the problem statement or the purpose
statement contain all the variables be empirically testable

Hypothesis
Used to test propositions of a theory Cannot be PROVED or DISPROVED
![Page 22: 1 Hypothesis A statement of predicted relationship between the independent and dependent variables Example: Cigarette smoking is related to lung cancer](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e305503460f94b207e3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Hypothesis
If Null Hypothesis is rejected, the research hypothesis is supported.Example: Null = There is no relationship between studying and test grades.

23
Hypothesis
Research hypothesis supported, theory also supported
Research hypothesis not supported, theory also not supportedExample: Research Hypothesis = Those who study get higher test grades than those who do not.

Hypotheses
Needed when the relationship between variables is being studied
![Page 25: 1 Hypothesis A statement of predicted relationship between the independent and dependent variables Example: Cigarette smoking is related to lung cancer](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e305503460f94b207e3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
When aren’t Hypotheses Needed?
in qualitative studies in single-variable descriptive studies in methodological studies
![Page 26: 1 Hypothesis A statement of predicted relationship between the independent and dependent variables Example: Cigarette smoking is related to lung cancer](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e305503460f94b207e3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Research Questions May be Used
in place of hypotheses in some studies in addition to hypotheses related to other
areas of interest concerning the study topic

Guidelines for Critiquing Hypotheses and Research Questions
Does the study contain a hypothesis or hypotheses? Is each hypothesis clearly worded and concise? Is the hypothesis written in a declarative sentence? Is each hypothesis directly tied to the study problem? If there is a clearly identified study framework, is
each hypothesis derived from this framework?
![Page 28: 1 Hypothesis A statement of predicted relationship between the independent and dependent variables Example: Cigarette smoking is related to lung cancer](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e305503460f94b207e3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Guidelines for Critiquing Hypotheses and Research Questions
Does each hypothesis contain the population and at least two variables?
Is each hypothesis stated as a directional research hypothesis? If not, is the rationale given for the type of hypothesis that is stated?
Is it apparent that each hypothesis can be empirically tested?

Guidelines for Critiquing Hypotheses and Research Questions
Does each hypothesis contain only one prediction?
If the study contains research questions, are the questions precise and specific?
Do the research questions further delineate the problem area of the study?
