PRESENTATION OUTLINE
A hypothesis formulated when predicting a relationship between 2 (or more) independent variables to 2 (or more) dependent variables (multivariate hypothesis)
Eg: The personal life & student life of pupils affect their level of performance.
Eg: There is a significant relationship between family matters, school matters & social matters in the performance of students.
A hypothesis that specifies not only the existence but the expected direction of the relationship between the independent & a dependent variable
Eg: Lower levels of exercise are associated with greater weight retention than higher levels of exercise
Eg: The longer the swim workout, the higher the cardiovascular endurance
Eg: Leadership by example positively affects the kind of student leaders produced in the campus
Non-Directional Hypothesis
A hypothesis that does not stipulate the direction of the relationship between the independent & a dependent variable
Eg: Women with different levels of postpartum depression differ with regard to weight retention
Eg: The sources of stress are related to the different coping mechanisms among students
Eg: The number of days spent in training is associated with the level of performance in triathlon
Also referred to as substantive, declarative, or scientific hypothesis, also known as expected relationships between variables
A hypothesis formulated for the purpose of statistical analysis. It is subjected to testing in which the decision is EITHER TO ACCEPT OR REJECT IT
Eg: There is no significant relationship between the profile, classroom leadership, & management skills & the school’s performance of teachers
Eg: The kind of teaching methods used has no effect on the level of performance of students as shown in their academic grades & behavior in class
