AIMS

• Aim


  A generic statement about what the researcher intends to study, which is generated from a theory that they want to test. It outlines what is being studied and what the study is trying to achieve.
• Hypothesis


  A specific, testable statement that references the operationalised variables being investigated.
• The aim is generic and outlines the focus of the study, while the hypothesis is precise and should not have any ambiguity.
