A researcher's expectations about the relationships between variables in a quantitative study are generally formulated as which of the following?
A) Hypotheses
B) Frameworks
C) Research questions
D) Conceptual definitions
A
Feedback:
Hypotheses state researchers' deductively derived expectations about relationships between study variables. To answer research questions and test hypotheses, researchers analyze their data in an orderly fashion. When quantitative research is performed within the context of a theoretical framework, the findings may have broader significance and utility. Even when the research question is not embedded in a theory, researchers should have a conceptual definition rationale and a clear vision of the concepts under study.
