some guidance on suitable methods they could use. The exception is in some qualitative
studies where it is felt that to know what other researchers have found may prevent the
researcher from developing new insights as they will be influenced by what other studies
have found
the hypothesis is the statement that the researcher wants to test through the data collected
in the study. It is not in a question format. It is developed from a theory or may even be a
'hunch' the researcher is testing.
