Reviewing the Literature and Forming Hypotheses

Abstract

This chapter reviews how to use the library and other resources to find information that can help a person with research. In addition, it examines how researchers share information with others and how he/she can find information to help he/she design his/her research project. Learning these skills helps he/she develop ideas for research hypotheses. The second half of the chapter introduces the concept of statistical inference as well as forming and testing hypotheses. The chapter ends with a discussion on forming hypotheses and the importance of selecting the appropriate statistical technique(s). Controlled Vocabulary Terms alternative hypothesis; hypothesis; hypothesis testing; Inferential statistics; statistical measures
