Hypothesis

A testable, predictive statement.   This statement is tested by researchers to see if it is true.   The Hypothesis either states a predicted difference between an independent and Dependent Variable (an experimental hypothesis), or it states a predicted relationship between Variables (in the case of a correlational analysis). See also null hypothesis
