Question
Assalamualaikun everyone..i would like to ask is it permissable to develop a hypothesis if it is not proven yet in literature..in this case, differences of mean of demographic on the DV. for instance a panel asked me why only test differences of firm sizes towards the dv..why didnt u test other demographic as well? i told him that there is only literature on sizes of firms that enable me to form the hypothesis..whereas the rest there isnt. am i correct?

Menjawab soalan di atas.

Adakah semua hipotesis perlu disupport dengan literature. Jawabnya ya, tetapi tidak. Kalau semua kena dah ada literature, maknanya isu tadi sudah dikaji, jadi di mana gapnya? Kalau belum ada kajian, bagaimana pula hendak letakkan hipotesis?

Jadi inilah 'salah faham'. Yang dikatakan literatur bukanlah semestinya mesti 'sebenarnya sama'. Katakan kajian2 dulu buktikan bahawa org yg penat sebabkan murung. Kita cuba kaitkan penat sebabkan marah. Tetapi tidak ada literatur. Pada waktu inilah kita berhujah bahawa penat telah sebabkan byk fenomena psikologikal yg negatif, spt murung. Jadi kita andaikan dlm hipotesis bahawa kerana sebab itu, penat blh jadi sebabkan org marah. Jadi kita menarik/mengorek literatur dpd penat kpd murung, kerana kita andaikan ia hal yg hampir mirip. Jadi inilah caranya kita letakkan hipotesis
