Preferred term

hypothesis (research)  

Definition

  • In scientific research, a hypothesis is a statement about a predicted relationship between variables. A good research hypothesis can be formulated as an “if-then” statement: If a child is exposed to the music of Mozart, then that child's intelligence will increase.
