This week I am evaluating research questions, hypotheses, and qualitative research designs. The discussion requires an evaluation of the assigned research study. I am considering the article that describes the predictors of high school graduation for at-risk adolescents. I will specifically evaluate the research questions and hypotheses. Next, I will identify the type of research design. Finally, I will analyze the alignment among the theory, problem, purpose, research questions and hypotheses, and design.

Research questions usually follow the purpose statement of an article. According to Novosel (2022), research questions are an addition to the purpose statement, and if it is not, then the questions will become inferred from that statement. The research question provides a clear picture of the reason for the story. In the assigned article, there are three stated research questions. According to Raskin & Brett (2014), the question in the article's title is whether the reverse golden section holds. The research questions in this study did follow the purpose statement in the article.

A hypothesis includes a prediction for the reason the research proposal is needed. According to Novosel (2022), a hypothesis is a possible explanation that is not proven but is based on evidence that the researcher has found or tested and will show what type of hypothesis the results indicate. The assigned article demonstrates a quantitative study due to the statistical data collected. According to Raskin & Brett (2014), the authors used the phrase “The Golden Section Hypothesis predicts.” The authors rate stigmatized statements such as homeless and mental patient identities in the effect of where they are placed negatively or positively. Therefore, the descriptive questions sought to describe responses to variables, and the groups were compared and positioned consistently from the inferential questions.

The hypothesis indicates null, non-directional, and directional. According to Novosel (2022), null implies no relationship, non-directional implies a connection between the two variables, and directional means a relationship and explains the direction of the relationship between variables. However, this study indicates mixed methods because it includes the characteristics of relating the question to the qualitative approach, quantitative research, and hypothesis, integrates the two approaches, specifies the participants and research site, and conveys the overall intent of the study. According to Raskin & Brett (2014), surveys were administered, and descriptive statistics were used. The findings indicated that mental health practitioners have both positive and negative judgments.

In conclusion, this article had a clear purpose and a roadmap to the research question and hypothesis to research the identities of individuals who have stigmatized identities. After reading about what research questions and hypothesis statements involve, I have a better understanding. I was able to recognize the research questions and the hypothesis as I remembered the vocabulary used.
