CREATING A HYPOTHESIS WORKSHEET Group #: Members:

Example


  1. List a Dependent Variables (DV) of interest to your group, with three dimensions for each. DVs are the areas you are interested in like attitudes about online learning, attitudes about dating, etc. Dimensions are just making more specific statements.

Attitudes about Remote Working

        1. 1. Attitudes about productivity levels in office vs home

(Work from home)

  1. 2. Attitudes about Job Satisfaction (in office vs home)

  1. Attitudes about accountability of home workers

  1. Using the dependent variables from above. List at least six independent variables (IVs) that could be associated with that dependent variable. (IV – are items like age, income, major, etc.)

        1. Age

        1. Type of work (IT, Accounting, Hospitality, etc)

        1. Residence (city versus rural)

        1. Income Level

        1. Gender

        1. Political Affiliation

  1. For your selected dependent variable, write three conceptual hypotheses (independent variable affects a dimension of the dependent variable). Example: Age affects attitudes about online learning.

1. Age affects attitudes about job satisfaction

2. Type of work affects attitudes about productivity levels

3. Residence affects attitudes about job satisfaction

  1. List an indicator for the three independent variables you used in #3 above. Make sure you state them as a comparison between mutually exclusive and exhaustive groups.

Age

19 and under/ 20 – 29/ 30 – 39/ 40 – 49/ 50+

Type of Work

Food Service/ Education/ Hospitality/ Financial/ Info Tech/

Human Resources/ Retail/ Insurance/ Transportation

Residence

Small (<20,000 pop); medium (20,000 – 200,000)/ Large (> 200,000

  1. Convert your conceptual (general) hypotheses to operational (specific) hypotheses using the following form: (IV) tend to support (DV dimension) more (or less) often than (Other IV)


People under 40

tend to support

Remote Work

More / Less than

Those 40 & over

IT Workers

tend to support

Remote work is more productive

More / Less than

Those in other industries

People in large cities

tend to support

Remote work

More / Less than

Those in small cities

Hypothesis 1


  1. List a Dependent Variables (DV) of interest to your group, with three dimensions for each. DVs are the areas you are interested in like attitudes about online learning, attitudes about dating, etc. Dimensions are just making more specific statements.

1.Attitude of student about decisions to retake the test.

Retaking the test

2.Stress level or anxiety related to retake the test.

3.Motivation to improve performance after retaking the test.

  1. Using the dependent variables from above. List at least six independent variables (IVs) that could be associated with that dependent variable. (IV – are items like age, income, major, etc.)

1.Age

2.Gender

3.Major/field of study

4.GPA( Academic Performance)

5.Study habits (hours of study per week)

6.Past experience of retaking the test

  1. For your selected dependent variable, write three conceptual hypotheses (independent variable affects a dimension of the dependent variable). Example: Age affects attitudes about online learning.

1.The past experience affects the stress level or anxiety attitudes about retaking test.

2. Type of major affects attitudes about retaking test.

  1. GPA affect the motivation to improve performance after retaking the test.

  1. List an indicator for the three independent variables you used in #3 above. Make sure you state them as a comparison between mutually exclusive and exhaustive groups.

Example: Age: 19 and under/ 20 – 29/ 30 – 39/ 40 – 49/ 50+

Past Experience

Previous test experience, feedback from others, Experience dealing with pressures,…

Type of major

Computer Science, Nursing, Business, Arts,…

Academic Performmance

<2.0, 2.0-2.49, 2.5-2.99, 3.0-3.49, 3.5-4.0

  1. Convert your conceptual (general) hypotheses to operational (specific) hypotheses using the following form: (IV) tend to support (DV dimension) more (or less) often than (Other IV)

Example: People under 40 tend to support online learning more often than those 40 and over.

Feedback from others

tend to support

Retaking tests

More than

Experience dealing with pressures

Nursing

tend to support

Retaking tests

More than

Computer Science

4.0 GPA

tend to support

Retaking tests

More than

<2.0 GPA
