Types of Research Hypothesis

The document outlines six common types of research hypotheses: simple, complex, empirical, null, alternative, and logical/statistical. A simple hypothesis predicts a relationship between two variables, an independent and dependent variable. A complex hypothesis predicts relationships between multiple independent and dependent variables. An empirical hypothesis is based on evidence from observation and experiment. A null hypothesis states there is no significant relationship between two variables, while an alternative hypothesis states a significant relationship does exist.

Types of research hypothesis

The six most common forms of hypotheses are:


 Simple Hypothesis.
 Complex Hypothesis.
 Empirical Hypothesis.
 Null Hypothesis (Denoted by "HO")
 Alternative Hypothesis (Denoted by "H1")
 Logical Hypothesis.
 Statistical Hypothesis.

Simple hypothesis is that one in which there exists relationship between two variables one is
called independent variable or cause and other is dependent variable or effect. For example,.
Smoking leads to Cancer. The higher ratio of unemployment leads to crimes.
complex hypothesis a prediction of the relationship between two or more independent
variables and two or more dependent variables. directional hypothesis a statement of the
specific nature (direction) of the relationship between two or more variables.
Empirical which means it is based on evidence. • In scientific method the word "empirical"
refers to the use of working hypothesis that can be tested using observation and experiment.
• Empirical data is produced by experiment and observation.
A null hypothesis is a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two
variables. It is usually the hypothesis a researcher or experimenter will try to disprove or
discredit. An alternative hypothesis is one that states there is a statistically significant
relationship between two variables.
A null hypothesis is a hypothesis of no difference.
null hypothesis is a general statement or default position that there is nothing new happening, like
there is no relationship between two measured phenomena, or no association among groups.
The null hypothesis is generally assumed to be true until evidence indicates otherwise.

The alternative hypothesis is the hypothesis used in hypothesis testing that is contrary to
the null hypothesis. It is usually taken to be that the observations are the result of a real effect
(with some amount of chance variation superposed)
