How To Write An A-Grade Research Hypothesis (+ Examples & Templates)

Learn what exactly a research (or scientific) hypothesis is and how to write high-quality hypothesis statements for any dissertation, thesis, or research project. We unpack the generic definition of a hypothesis, then explain how a research hypothesis builds on this using lots of examples. We also look at the null hypothesis, or alternative hypothesis.

Hehe, thanks!

Are you going to do video of the other approach if you do not go the route of hypothesis. In this case if you are doing a business course related research?

[@babaganaabba8050]

Emma thank you for this brilliant lecture. Please can you elaborate on the respective statistical tools that test difference, association and relationships between/among the variables sought by the hypothesis?

[@GradCoach]

Thanks for the feedback. We've got a video planned in the pipeline that will cover that :)

[@woo_doggy]

@@GradCoach what about for cause and effect relationships?

00:04 Understanding the concept of a research hypothesis
00:56 A research hypothesis predicts the relationship between variables based on existing knowledge or assumptions.
01:51 A research hypothesis needs to be clear, specific, and testable.
02:49 Specificity is crucial in formulating a research hypothesis.
03:43 Hypothesis must be testable to qualify as a research hypothesis.
04:29 Research hypothesis should be specific and testable
05:21 A solid hypothesis is crucial for clear project focus.
06:18 Understanding chance and observations in research.

[@user-rs7fi7hx6t]

Thank uu❤❤😊

[@GradCoach]

You're welcome 😊

[@kiante95]

do you have any videos that specifically talk about conceptual and operationalize hypothesis?

[@GradCoach]

Not yet. Thanks for the suggestion :)

[@garry6882]

how to develop it ? before we propose a hypothesis, usually there is one or two paragraph about it

[@HealthTipsrepo]

I wanted to hear more as to how it's applies to research paper( semester research paper )

[@GradCoach]

Thanks for the suggestion. We'll consider this for future videos :)

[@OybekKholboev]

Hi everyone!
Guys i need some hypothesises and questions related to engineering and construction of buildings and etc.
Actually I need it for my project work at the university, I need to do research, and I have no idea what to choose
If you have any options, questions and hypothesis related to engineering and constructions please share ! (E.g . Why The tower Pisa is leaning?) Like this.
I would be very very glad!

[@evansjohnarek2271]

Emma is gifted with extra-ordinary brain power.

[@GradCoach]

What about proposition!!

[@GradCoach]

A hypothesis is a specific type of proposition that is formulated for the purpose of empirical testing and verification. A hypothesis is focused on providing a potential explanation or prediction that can be confirmed or refuted through evidence. On the other hand, a proposition is a general term for any statement or assertion, whether it is intended for empirical testing or not.
