What is the purpose of a researchable question?

• To delay the research progress

• To complicate the research process

• To solve a problem, add to theory, or improve current practice

• To create confusion

Why is it important to have research questions?

• To confuse the researchers

• To avoid collecting unnecessary data

• To make the study design more complicated

• To limit the study to a single aspect

What are the sources for developing research questions?

• Random strangers on the street

• Clinical Experience, Mentor, Literature Overview, Conferences, Research Experience

• Social media influencers

• TV commercials

What is the purpose of the FINER criteria in research?

• To limit the scope of the research

• To confuse researchers

• To guide the structure of a research question

• To make the research process longer

How should research objectives be developed?

• By including unnecessary data

• By ignoring the research problem

• By focusing the study, avoiding unnecessary data collection, and organizing the study

• By making the study design more complex

What are the types of research objectives?

• General and Specific

• Simple and Complex

• Random and Specific

• Broad and Narrow

What is a hypothesis in research?

• A fact

• A random statement

• A prediction or explanation of the relationship between variables that can be tested

• A wild guess

What is the purpose of a null hypothesis?

• To make the research more complicated

• To show there is no difference between groups or conditions

• To prove a relationship between variables

• To confuse researchers

What is the difference between a non-directional and a directional hypothesis?

• Non-directional specifies the relationship between variables, while directional does not

• Directional specifies the relationship between variables, while non-directional does not

• Both are the same

• Neither specifies the relationship between variables

What is the importance of hypothesis formulation in research?

• To limit the study to a single aspect

• To complicate the research process

• To guide the study in terms of sample size, data collection, analysis, and interpretation

• To delay the research progress
