Research Methods

    Cards (4)

    • aim
      - a clearly phrased general statement about what the investor intends to research
    • hypothesis
      - a precise testable statement including levels of the IV and DV (or both co-variables for a correlational study)
    • non-directional (two-tailed) hypothesis

      - states that there is a difference in the measurement of the DV, but not the direction the results will go
    • directional (one-tailed) hypothesis

      - states that there is a difference in the measurement of the DV, and says which direction the results will go (increase/decrease)
      - should only use when there is previous research which suggests the way results are likely to go
