What type of hypothesis is this according to Diamantopoulos and Schlegelmilch’s (2000:134-135) classification scheme?
Check the following:
Did you state a composite hypothesis (i.e., a hypothesis combining more than one relationship or group difference in one)? If YES, break it down into a set of simpler hypotheses.
Did you state a single variable hypothesis? If YES, which value will you use to compare your sample based statistics against? Why this specific value?
Did you state a causal hypothesis? If YES, will you be using an experimental design in your study? If NO to previous question, change the hypothesis to a correlational hypothesis.
Did you state a directional (one-tailed) or non-directional (two-tailed / exploratory) hypothesis?
