DEVELOPING QUESTIONS & HYPOTHESES
QUESTIONS AND HYPOTHESES
• SHAPE THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
• DEFINE RELATIONSHIPS OF IDEAS & DATA
• FOCUS THE SCOPE OF INVESTIGATION
![Page 6: RESEARCH QUESTIONS HYPOTHESES - public.asu.edukroel/coursesb/coursesa/coursesb/coursesa...(creswell 107) research questions related to quantitative studies use verbs like: determine](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021511/5ac8fae37f8b9a7d548cd2de/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
• INTERROGATIVE STATEMENTS OR QUESTIONS THAT THE INVESTIGATOR SEEKS TO ANSWER
• WORKING GUIDELINES AS OPPOSED TO TRUTHS TO BE PROVEN
• OFTEN NEED REFORMULATION AS RESEARCH EVOLVES AND CHANGES
![Page 7: RESEARCH QUESTIONS HYPOTHESES - public.asu.edukroel/coursesb/coursesa/coursesb/coursesa...(creswell 107) research questions related to quantitative studies use verbs like: determine](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021511/5ac8fae37f8b9a7d548cd2de/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
• WHAT AND HOW QUESTIONS-TEND TO BE MORE QUALITATIVE
• WHY QUESTIONS-TEND TO BE MORE QUANTITATIVE (suggest cause and effect)

RESEARCH QUESTIONS
CENTRAL QUESTIONS 1-2
• STUDY IN ITS MOST GENERAL FORM
• WHAT IS BROADEST QUESTION THAT CAN BE ASKED
ASSOCIATED SUB-QUESTIONS 5-7 (no more than 12)
• NARROWS FOCUS OF CENTRAL QUESTION STILL OPEN - DOORS NOT CLOSED
![Page 9: RESEARCH QUESTIONS HYPOTHESES - public.asu.edukroel/coursesb/coursesa/coursesb/coursesa...(creswell 107) research questions related to quantitative studies use verbs like: determine](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021511/5ac8fae37f8b9a7d548cd2de/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
RESEARCH QUESTIONS RELATED TO QUALITATIVE STRATEGIES
“YOU WILL HAVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF QUESTIONS RELATED TO EACH STRATEGY”
• GROUNDED – discover
• ETHNOGRAPHY – seek to understand
• CASE STUDY – explore a process
• PHENOMENOLOGY – describe the experience
• NARRATIVE RESEARCH – report stories
(Creswell 107)

RESEARCH QUESTION EXAMPLES
How do women in a psychology doctoral program describe their decision to return to school?
(Creswell)
Does critical thinking ability relate to student achievement? (Creswell)
What perspective do medical students adopt to make sense of their experience in medical school?
(Locke)
What level of moisture affects the growth of cactus?

HYPOTHESES
• “…RETAINS CHARACTER OF A GUESS UNTIL FACTS ARE FOUND TO CONFIRM OR DISCREDIT IT.”(Mauch)
• WHAT RESEARCHER IS EXPECTING TO FIND
• “CREATES A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS THAT UNDERLIE A QUESTION AND THE ENSUING RESEARCH PROCESS DESIGNED TO PRODUCE THE ANSWER.” (Locke)
• INDICATES QUESTION IN TESTABLE FORM
• PREDICTS NATURE OF THE ANSWER
![Page 13: RESEARCH QUESTIONS HYPOTHESES - public.asu.edukroel/coursesb/coursesa/coursesb/coursesa...(creswell 107) research questions related to quantitative studies use verbs like: determine](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021511/5ac8fae37f8b9a7d548cd2de/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
HYPOTHESES
• EXERTS DIRECT INFLUENCE ON EACH SUBSEQUENT STEP OF STUDY – FROM DESIGN TO PREPARATION OF FINAL REPORT
• STATES DIRECTION STUDY WILL TAKE
• EMPLOYS STATISTICAL PROCEDURES
• DRAWS INFERENCES
• REQUIRES EMPIRICAL SUPPORT
![Page 14: RESEARCH QUESTIONS HYPOTHESES - public.asu.edukroel/coursesb/coursesa/coursesb/coursesa...(creswell 107) research questions related to quantitative studies use verbs like: determine](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021511/5ac8fae37f8b9a7d548cd2de/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
TYPES OF HYPOTHESES
NULL – Predicts NO relationship or NO differences
ALTERNATIVE (SOMETIMES CALLED RESEARCH)
• DIRECTIONAL – Expected prediction, differences ARE specified
• NON-DIRECTIONAL – Expected prediction, but exact form of differences NOT specified
![Page 15: RESEARCH QUESTIONS HYPOTHESES - public.asu.edukroel/coursesb/coursesa/coursesb/coursesa...(creswell 107) research questions related to quantitative studies use verbs like: determine](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021511/5ac8fae37f8b9a7d548cd2de/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
CREATING HYPOTHESES (Balian 1994)
1. MUST REFLECT WHAT THE RESEARCH QUESTIONS IN ESSENCE ARE ALL ABOUT.
2. MUST BE WRITTEN CLEARLY, WITHOUT AMBIGUITY. ENSURE THAT ONE HYPOTHESIS IS ONLY ONEHYPOTHESIS AND NOT A COMPOUND THOUGHT.
3. A NULL HYPOTHESIS MUST BE TESTABLE BY STATISTICAL MEANS. IF STATISTICAL TESTING IS NOT POSSIBLE – “HYPOTHESIS” IS ACTUALLY A “RESEARCH QUESTION”.
4. IT IS BEST IF A STATISTICAL TEST ASSESSES ONLY ONE NULL HYPOTHESIS AT A TIME.

HYPOTHESES EXAMPLES (Baker& Taleb 51)
ALTERNATIVEDIRECTIONAL
“The cooling cost of buildings in the summer season may be reduced by structural changes and/or repositioning of windows so that window panes are inclined to the inside, and the direction in which windows face is shifted at predetermined angles”

HYPOTHESES EXAMPLES
ALTERNATIVENON-DIRECTIONAL
The cooling cost of buildings in the summer season may differ with structural changes and/or repositioning of windows so that window panes are inclined to the inside, and the direction in which windows face is shifted at predetermined angles

HYPOTHESES EXAMPLES
NULL The cooling cost of buildings in the summer season will show no appreciable difference with structural changes and/or repositioning of windows so that window panes are inclined to the inside, and the direction in which windows face is shifted at predetermined angles

RELATION OF RESEARCH QUESTIONS & HYPOTHESES (Groat 256)
PROBLEM STATEMENT
QUESTION
HYPOTHESIS
“Students observed that the space was seldom used as a lounge.”
“What sort of changes would have to be made for the area to function more as a lounge and social space?”
“The students hypothesized that the gallery would be used more if the arrangement of furniture were less formal and if small screening elements were used to block the view through the glass wall along the doorway side of the space.”
