This rapidly maturing field shows some degree of flux, as research hypotheses are often restructured based on new information.

Conceptual validity refers to how well a specific research hypothesis maps onto the broader theory that it was designed to test.

Observers are blind if they do not know the research hypotheses of the study.

This is used in statistical models to prove or disprove research hypotheses.

These grants fund initial research hypotheses that have not been fully explored.

If empirical data reach significance under the appropriate statistical formula, the research hypothesis is supported.

Successfully rejecting the null hypothesis may offer no support for the research hypothesis.

Double Blind: Do not inform the person who has contact with the participants about the research hypotheses.

Quantitative methods can then be used to seek empirical support for such research hypotheses.

The probability of a study yielding a significant result if the research hypothesis is true.
