characteristics of a good hypothesis in hindi

Hypothesis या परिकल्पना क्या है? प्रकृति, स्रोत, विशेषताएं, प्रकार व कार्य 

परिकल्पना शब्द परि + कल्पना दो शब्दों से मिलकर बना है। परि का अर्थ चारो ओर तथा कल्पना का अर्थ चिन्तन है। इस प्रकार परिकल्पना से तात्पर्य किसी समस्या से सम्बन्धित समस्त सम्भावित समाधान पर विचार करना है। परिकल्पना (Hypothesis) किसी भी अनुसन्धान प्रक्रिया का दूसरा महत्वपूर्ण स्तम्भ है।

परिकल्पना क्या है? (What is Hypothesis)

इसका तात्पर्य यह है कि किसी समस्या के विश्लेषण और परिभाशीकरण के पश्चात उसमें कारणों तथा कार्य कारण सम्बन्ध में पूर्व चिन्तन कर लिया गया है, अर्थात् अमुक समस्या का यह कारण हो सकता है, यह निश्चित करने के पष्चात उसका परीक्षण प्रारम्भ हो जाता है। अनुसंधान कार्य परिकल्पना के निर्माण और उसके परीक्षण के बीच की प्रक्रिया है। परिकल्पना के निर्माण के बिना न तो कोई प्रयोग हो सकता है और न कोई वैज्ञानिक विधि के अनुसन्धान ही सम्भव है। वास्तव में परिकल्पना के अभाव में अनुसंधान कार्य एक उद्देश्यहीन क्रिया है। 

परिकल्पना की परिभाषा (Definition of Hypothesis)

परिकल्पना की परिभाषा से समझने के लिए कुछ विद्वानों की परिभाषाओं केा समझना आवश्यक है। जो है –

करलिंगर (Kerlinger) –  ‘‘परिकल्पना केा दो या दो से अधिक चरों के मध्य सम्बन्धों का कथन मानते हैं। ’’ 

मोले (George G. Mouley ) –  ‘‘परिकल्पना एक धारणा अथवा तर्कवाक्य है जिसकी स्थिरता की परीक्षा उसकी अनुरूपता, उपयोग, अनुभव-जन्य प्रमाण तथा पूर्व ज्ञान के आधार पर करना है। ’’ 

गुड तथा हैट (Good & Hatt ) –  ‘‘परिकल्पना इस बात का वर्णन करती है कि हम क्या देखना चाहते है। परिकल्पना भविश्य की ओर देखती है। यह एक तर्कपूर्ण कथन है जिसकी वैद्यता की परीक्षा की जा सकती है। यह सही भी सिद्ध हो सकती है, और गलत भी।

लुण्डबर्ग (Lundberg ) –  ‘‘परिकल्पना एक प्रयोग सम्बन्धी सामान्यीकरण है जिसकी वैधता की जॉच हेाती है। अपने मूलरूप में परिकल्पना एक अनुमान अथवा काल्पनिक विचार हो सकता है जो आगे के अनुसंधान के लिये आधार बनता है। ’’ 

मैकगुइन (Mc Guigan ) –  ‘‘परिकल्पना दो या अधिक चरों के कार्यक्षम सम्बन्धों का परीक्षण योग्य कथन है।

परिकल्पना की प्रकृति (Nature of Hypothesis)

किसी भी परिकल्पना की प्रकृति रूप में हो सकती है –

• यह परीक्षण के योग्य होनी चाहिये।
• इसह शोध को सामान्य से विशिष्ट एवं विस्तृत से सीमित की ओर केन्द्रित करना चाहिए।
• इससे शोध प्रश्नों का स्पष्ट उत्तर मिलना चाहिए।
• यह सत्याभासी एवं तर्कयुक्त होनी चाहिए।
• यह प्रकृति के ज्ञात नियमों के प्रतिकूल नहीं होनी चाहिए।

परिकल्पना के स्रोत (Source of Hypothesis)

1. समस्या से सम्बन्धित साहित्य का अध्ययन

समस्या से सम्बन्धित साहित्य का अध्ययन करके उपयुक्त परिकल्पना का निर्माण किया जा सकता है।

विज्ञान से प्रतिपादित सिद्धान्त परिकल्पनाओं को जन्म देते हैं।

3. संस्कृति  

संस्कृति परिकल्पना की जननी हो सकती है। प्रत्येक समाज में विभिन्न प्रकार की संस्कृति होती है। प्रत्येक संस्कृति सामाजिक एवं सांस्कृतिक मूल्यों में एक दूसरे से भिन्न होती है ये भिन्नता का आधार अनेक समस्याओं को जन्म देता है और जब इन समस्याओं से सम्बन्धित चिंतन किया जाता है तो परिकल्पनाओं का जन्म होता है।

4. व्यक्तिगत अनुभव  

व्यक्तिगत अनुभव भी परिकल्पना का आधार हेाता है, किन्तु नये अनुसंध् ाानकर्ता के लिये इसमें कठिनाई है। किसी भी क्षेत्र में जिनका अनुभव जितना ही सम्पन्न होता है, उन्हें समस्या के ढूँढ़ने तथा परिकल्पना बनाने में उतनी ही सरलता होती है।

5. रचनात्मक चिंतन

यह परिकल्पना के निर्माण का बहुत बड़ा आधार है। मुनरो ने इस पर विशेष बल दिया है। उन्होने इसके चार पद बताये हैं – (i) तैयारी (ii) विकास (iii) प्रेरणा और (iv) परीक्षण। अर्थात किसी विचार के आने पर उसका विकास किया, उस पर कार्य करने की प्रेरणा मिली, परिकल्पना निर्माण और परीक्षण किया।

6. अनुभवी व्यक्तियों से परिचर्चा

अनुभवी एवं विषय विशेषज्ञों से परिचर्चा एवं मार्गदर्शन प्राप्त कर उपयुक्त परिकल्पना का निर्माण किया जा सकता है।

7. पूर्व में हुए अनुसंधान

सम्बन्धित क्षेत्र के पूर्व अनुसंधानों के अवलोकन से ज्ञात होता है कि किस प्रकार की परिकल्पना पर कार्य किया गया है। उसी आधार पर नयी परिकल्पना का सर्जन किया जा सकता है।

उत्तम परिकल्पना की विशेषताएं या कसौटी (Characteristics of a good Hypothesis)

1. परिकल्पना जाँचनीय हो

एक अच्छी परिकल्पना की पहचान यह है कि उसका प्रतिपादन इस ढ़ंग से किया जाये कि उसकी जाँच करने के बाद यह निश्चित रूप से कहा जा सके कि परिकल्पना सही है या गलत । इसके लिये यह आवश्यक है कि परिकल्पना की अभिव्यक्ति विस्तश्त ढ़ंग से न करके विषिश्ट ढ़ंग से की जाये। अत: जॉँचनीय परिकल्पना वह परिकल्पना है जिसे विष्वास के साथ कहा जाय कि वह सही है या गलत।

2. परिकल्पना मितव्ययी हो

परिकल्पना की मितव्ययिता से तात्पर्य उसके ऐसे स्वरूप से है जिसकी जाँच करने में समय, श्रम एवं धन कम से कम खर्च हो और सुविधा अधिक प्राप्त हो।

3. परिकल्पना को क्षेत्र के मौजूदा सिद्धान्तों तथा तथ्यों से सम्बन्धित होना चाहिए

कुछ परिकल्पना ऐसी होती है जिनमें शोध समस्या का उत्तर तभी मिल पाता है जब अन्य कई उप कल्पनायें (Sub-hypothesis) तैयार कर ली जाये। ऐसा इसलिये होता है क्योंकि उनमें तार्किक पूर्णता तथा व्यापकता के आधार के अभाव होते हैं जिसके कारण वे स्वयं कुछ नयी समस्याओं केा जन्म दे देते हैं और उनके लिये उपकल्पनायें तथा तदर्थ पूर्वकल्पनायें (adhoc assumptions) तैयार कर लिया जाना आवश्यक हो जाता है।

4. परिकल्पना को किसी न किसी सिद्धान्त अथवा तथ्य अथवा अनुभव पर आधारित होना चाहिये

परिकल्पना कपोल कल्पित अथवा केवल रोचक न हो। अर्थात् परिकल्पना ऐसी बातों पर आधारित न हो जिनका केाई सैद्धान्तिक आधार न हो। जैसे – काले रंग के लोग गोरे रंग के लोगों की अपेक्षा अधिक विनम्र होते हैं। इस प्रकार की परिकल्पना आधारहीन परिकल्पना है क्योंकि यह किसी सिद्धान्त या मॉडल पर आधारित नहीं है।

5. परिकल्पना द्वारा अधिक से अधिक सामान्यीकरण किया जा सके

परिकल्पना का अधिक से अधिक सामान्यीकरण तभी सम्भव है जब परिकल्पना न तेा बहुत व्यापक हो और न ही बहुत विषिश्ट हो किसी भी अच्छी परिकल्पना को संकीर्ण ;दंततवूद्ध होना चाहिये ताकि उसके द्वारा किया गया सामान्यीकरण उचित एवं उपयोगी हो।

6. परिकल्पना को संप्रत्यात्मक रूप से स्पष्ट होना चाहिए

संप्रत्यात्मक रूप से स्पष्ट होने का अर्थ है परिकल्पना व्यवहारिक एवं वस्तुनिश्ठ ढ़ंग से परिभाशित हो तथा उसके अर्थ से अधिकतर लोग सहमत हों। ऐसा न हो कि परिभाषा सिर्फ व्यक्ति की व्यक्गित सोच की उपज हो तथा जिसका अर्थ सिर्फ वही समझता हो। इस प्रकार हम पाते हैं कि शोध मनोवैज्ञानिक ने शोध परिकल्पना की कुछ ऐसी कसौटियों या विशेषताओं का वर्णन किया हैे जिसके आधार पर एक अच्छी शोध परिकल्पना की पहचान की जा सकती है।

परिकल्पना के प्रकार (Types of Hypothesis)

मनोवैज्ञानिक, समाजशास्त्र तथा शिक्षा के क्षेत्र में शोधकर्ताओं द्वारा बनायी गयी परिकल्पनाओं के स्वरूप पर यदि ध्यान दिया जाय तो यह स्पष्ट हो जायेगा कि उसे कई प्रकारों में बाँटा जा सकता है। शोध विशेषज्ञों ने परिकल्पना का वर्गीकरण तीन आधारों पर किया है –

चरों की सख्या के आधार पर

1. साधारण परिकल्पना

साधारण परिकल्पना से तात्पर्य उस परिकल्पना से है जिसमें चरों की संख्या मात्र दो होती है और इन्ही दो चरों के बीच के सम्बन्ध का अध्ययन किया जाता है। उदाहरण स्वरूप बच्चों के सीखने में पुरस्कार का सकारात्मक प्रभाव पड़ता है। यहाँ सीखना तथा पुरस्कार दो चर है जिनके बीच एक विशेष सम्बन्ध की चर्चा की है। इस प्रकार परिकल्पना साधारण परिकल्पना कहलाती है।

2. जटिल परिकल्पना

जटिल परिकल्पना से तात्पर्य उस परिकल्पना से हेै जिसमें दो से अधिक चरों के बीच आपसी सम्बन्ध का अध्ययन किया जाता है। जैसे- अंग्रेजी माध्यम के निम्न उपलब्धि के विद्यार्थियों का व्यक्तित्व हिन्दी माध्यम के उच्च उपलब्धि के विद्यार्थियों की अपेक्षा अधिक परिपक्व होता है। इस परिकल्पना में हिन्दी अंग्रेजी माध्यम, निम्न उच्च उपलब्धि स्तर एवं व्यक्तित्व तीन प्रकार के चर सम्मिलित हैं अत: यह एक जटिल परिकल्पना का उदाहरण है।

चरों की विशेष सम्बन्ध के आधार पर 

मैक्ग्यूगन ने (Mc. Guigan, 1990) ने इस कसौटी के आधार पर परिकल्पना के मुख्य दो प्रकार बताये हैं-

1. सार्वत्रिक या सार्वभौमिक परिकल्पना

सार्वत्रिक परिकल्पना से स्वयम् स्पष्ट होता है कि ऐसी परिकल्पना जो हर क्षेत्र और समय में समान रूप से व्याप्त हो अर्थात् परिकल्पना का स्वरूप ऐसा हेा जो निहित चरों के सभी तरह के मानों के बीच के सम्बन्ध को हर परिस्थित में हर समय बनाये रखे। उदाहरण स्वरूप- पुरस्कार देने से सीखने की प्रक्रिया में तेजी आती है। यह एक ऐसी परिकल्पना हे जिसमें बताया गया सम्बन्ध अधिकांष परिस्थितियों में लागू होता है।

2. अस्तित्वात्मक परिकल्पना

इस प्रकार की परिकल्पना यदि सभी व्यक्तियों या परिस्थितियों के लिये नही तो कम से कम एक व्यक्ति या परिस्थिति के लिये नििष्च्त रूप से सही होती है। जैसे – सीखने की प्रक्रिया में कक्षा में कम से कम एक बालक ऐसा है पुरस्कार की बजाय दण्ड से सीखता है’ इस प्रकार की परिकल्पना अस्तित्वात्मक परिकल्पना है।

विशिष्ट उद्देश्य के आधार पर

विशिष्ट उद्देश्य के आधार पर परिकल्पना के तीन प्रकार है-

1. शोध परिकल्पना

इसे कायर्रूप परिकल्पना या कायार्त्मक परिकल्पना भी कहते हैं। ये परिकल्पना किसी न किसी सिद्धान्त पर आधारित या प्रेरित होती है। शोधकर्ता इस परिकल्पना की उद्घोशणा बहुत ही विष्वास के साथ करता है तथा उसकी यह अभिलाशा होती है कि उसकी यह परिकल्पना सत्य सिद्ध हो।

2. शून्य परिकल्पना

शून्य परिकल्पना शोध परिकल्पना के ठीक विपरीत होती है। इस परिकल्पना के माध्यम से हम चरों के बीच कोई अन्तर नहीं होने के संबंध का उल्लेख करते हैं।

3. सांख्यिकीय परिकल्पना 

जब शोध परिकल्पना या शून्य परिकल्पना का सांख्यिकीय पदों में अभिव्यक्त किया जाता है तो इस प्रकार की परिकल्पना सांख्यिकीय परिकल्पना कहलाती है। शोध परिकल्पना अथवा सांख्यिकीय परिकल्पना को सांख्यिकीय पदों में व्यक्त करने के लिये विशेष संकेतों का प्रयोग किया जाता है। शोध परिकल्पना के लिये H1 तथा शून्य परिकल्पना के लिये H0 का प्रयोग हेाता है तथा माध्य के लिये X का प्रयोग किया जाता है।  

परिकल्पना के कार्य (Works of Hypothesis)

1. दिशा निर्देश देना

परिकल्पना अनुसंधानकता को निर्देषित करती है। इससे यह ज्ञात होता है कि अनुसन्धान कार्य में कौन कौन सी क्रियायें करती हैं एवं कैसे करनी है। अत: परिकल्पना के उचित निर्माण से कार्य की स्पष्ट दिशा निश्चित हो जाती है।

2. प्र्रमुख तथ्यों का चुुनाव करना

परिकल्पना समस्या को सीमित करती है तथा महत्वपूर्ण तथ्यों के चुनाव में सहायता करती है। किसी भी क्षेत्र में कई प्रकार की समस्यायें हो सकती है लेकिन हमें अपने अध्ययन में उन समस्याओं में से किन पर अध्ययन करना है उनका चुनाव और सीमांकन परिकल्पना के माध्यम से ही होता है।

3. पुनरावृत्ति को सम्भव बनाना

पुनरावृत्ति अथवा पुन: परीक्षण द्वारा अनुसन्धान के निष्कर्ष की सत्यता का मूल्यांकन किया जाता है। परिकल्पना के अभाव में यह पुन: परीक्षण असम्भव होगा क्यों कि यह ज्ञात ही नही किया जा सकेगा किस विशेष पक्ष पर कार्य किया गया है तथा किसका नियंत्रण करके किसका अवलेाकन किया गया है।

4. निष्कर्ष निकालने एवं नये सिद्धान्तों के प्रतिपादन करना

परिकल्पना अनुसंधानकर्ता केा एक निश्चित निष्कर्ष तक पहुंचने में सहायता करती है तथा जब कभी कभी मनोवैज्ञानिकों को यह विश्वास के साथ पता होता है कि अमुक घटना के पीछे क्या कारा है तो वह किसी सिद्धान्त की पश्श्ठभूमि की प्रतीक्षा किये बिना परिकल्पना बनाकर जॉच लेते हैं। परिकल्पना सत्य होने पर फिर वे अपनी पूर्वकल्पनाओं, परिभाषाओं और सम्प्रत्ययों को तार्किक तंत्र में बांधकर एक नये सिद्धान्त का प्रतिपादन कर देते है।

अत: उपरेाक्त वर्णन के आधार पर यह कहा जा सकता है कि परिकल्पना किसी भी समस्या के लिये सुझाया गया वह उत्तर है जिसकी तर्कपूर्ण वैधता की जॉच की जा सकती है। यह दो या अधिक चरों के बीच किस प्रकार का सम्बन्ध है ये इंगित करता है तथा ये अनुसन्धान के विकास का उद्देश्यपूर्ण आधार भी है।

शोध परिकल्पना - परिभाषा, प्रकृति और प्रकार - Research Hypothesis – Definition, Nature and Types

 शोध परिकल्पना - परिभाषा, प्रकृति और प्रकार - research hypothesis – definition, nature and types,   शोध परिकल्पना.

 परिकल्पना अनुसन्धान का एक प्रमुख एवं लाभदायक एवं उपयोगी हिस्सा है एक परिकल्पना के पीछे एक अच्छा अनुसन्धान छिपा होता है। बिना परिकल्पना के अनुसन्धा उद्देश्यहीन तथा बिन्दुहीन होता जाता है। बिना किसी अच्छे अर्थ के परिणाम अच्छे नहीं मिलते हैं इसलिये परिकल्पना का आकार मिश्रित तथा कठिन तथा लाभ से परिपूर्ण होता है। परिकल्पना का स्वरूप बड़ा एवं करीब होने पर इसके आकार को रद्दो बदल कर अनुसन्धान के अनुसार घटाया बढ़ाया जाता है। ऐसा नहीं किया जायेगा तो अनुसन्धानकर्ता अनावश्यक एवं तथ्यहीन आंकड़ों का प्रयोग किया जाता है।

शोध परिकल्पना :

परिकल्पना शब्द परि + कल्पना दो शब्दों से मिलकर बना है। परि का अर्थ चारो ओर तथा कल्पना का अर्थ चिन्तन है। इस प्रकार परिकल्पना से तात्पर्य किसी समस्या से सम्बन्धित समस्त सम्भावित समाधान पर विचार करना है।

परिकल्पना किसी भी अनुसन्धान प्रक्रिया का दूसरा महत्वपूर्ण स्तम्भ है। इसका तात्पर्य यह है कि किसी समस्या के विश्लेषण और परिभाषीकरण के पश्चात् उसमें कारणों तथा कार्य कारण सम्बन्ध में पूर्व चिन्तन कर लिया गया है, अर्थात् अमुक समस्या का यह कारण हो सकता है, यह निश्चित करने के पश्चात उसका परीक्षण प्रारम्भ हो जाता है। अनुसंधान कार्य परिकल्पना के निर्माण और उसके परीक्षण के बीच की प्रक्रिया है। परिकल्पना के निर्माण के बिना न तो कोई प्रयोग हो सकता है और न कोई वैज्ञानिक विधि के अनुसन्धान ही सम्भव है। वास्तव में परिकल्पना के अभाव में अनुसंधान कार्य एक उद्देश्यहीन क्रिया है।

  परिकल्पना की परिभाषा :

परिकल्पना की परिभाषा से समझने के लिए कुछ विद्वानों की परिभाषाओं को समझना आवश्यक है। जो निम्न है। 

करलिंगर ( Kerlinger) - "परिकल्पना को दो या दो से अधिक चरों के मध्य सम्बन्धों का कथन मानते हैं।"

मोले (George G. Mouley ) - "परिकल्पना एक धारणा अथवा तर्कवाक्य है जिसकी स्थिरता की परीक्षा उसकी अनुरूपता, उपयोग, अनुभव-जन्य प्रमाण तथा पूर्व ज्ञान के आधार पर करना है।"

गुड तथा हैट (Good & Hatt ) - "परिकल्पना इस बात का वर्णन करती है कि हम क्या देखना चाहते है। परिकल्पना भविष्य की ओर देखती है। यह एक तर्कपूर्ण कथन है जिसकी वैद्यता की परीक्षा की जा सकती है। यह सही भी सिद्ध हो सकती है, और गलत भी।"

लुण्डबर्ग (Lundberg ) - "परिकल्पना एक प्रयोग सम्बन्धी सामान्यीकरण है जिसकी वैधता की जाँच होती है। अपने मूलरूप में परिकल्पना एक अनुमान अथवा काल्पनिक विचार हो सकता है जो आगे के अनुसंधान के लिये आधार बनता है।"

मैकगुइन (Mc Guigan ) - "परिकल्पना दो या अधिक चरों के कार्यक्षम सम्बन्धों का परीक्षण योग्य कथन है।

अतः उपरोक्त परिभाषाओं के आधार पर यह कहा जा सकता है कि परिकल्पना किसी भी समस्या के लिये सुझाया गया वह उत्तर है जिसकी तर्कपूर्ण वैधता की जाँच की जा सकती है। यह दो या अधिक चरों के बीच किस प्रकार का सम्बन्ध है ये इंगित करता है तथा ये अनुसन्धान के विकास का उद्देश्यपूर्ण आधार भी है।

परिकल्पना की प्रकृति :

किसी भी परिकल्पना की प्रकर्षत निम्न रूप में हो सकती है। -

1. यह परीक्षण के योग्य होनी चाहिये ।

2. इसह शोध को सामान्य से विशिष्ट एवं विस्तृत से सीमित की ओर केन्द्रित करना चाहिए।

3. इससे शोध प्रश्नों का स्पष्ट उत्तर मिलना चाहिए।

4. यह सत्याभासी एवं तर्कयुक्त होनी चाहिए।

5. यह प्रकर्षत के ज्ञात नियमों के प्रतिकूल नहीं होनी चाहिए।

परिकल्पना के स्रोत :

परिकल्पनाओं के मुख्य स्रोत निम्नवत है।

समस्या से सम्बन्धित साहित्य का अध्ययन

समस्या सम्बन्धित साहित्य का अध्ययन करके उपयुक्त परिकल्पना का निर्माण किया जा सकता है।

विज्ञान -

विज्ञान से प्रतिपादित सिद्धान्त परिकल्पनाओं को जन्म देते हैं।

संस्कृति -

संस्कृति परिकल्पना की जननी हो सकती है। प्रत्येक समाज में विभिन्न प्रकार की संस्कृति होती है। प्रत्येक संस्कृति सामाजिक एवं सांस्कर्षतिक मूल्यों में एक दूसरे से भिन्न होती है ये भिन्नता का आधार अनेक समस्याओं को जन्म देता है और जब इन समस्याओं से सम्बन्धित चिंतन किया जाता है तो परिकल्पनाओं का जन्म होता है।

व्यक्तिगत अनुभव

व्यक्तिगत अनुभव भी परिकल्पना का आधार होता है, किन्तु नये अनुसंध नकर्ता के लिये इसमें कठिनाई है। किसी भी क्षेत्र में जिनका अनुभव जितना ही सम्पन्न होता है, उन्हें समस्या के ढूँढ़ने तथा परिकल्पना बनाने में उतनी ही सरलता होती है।

  रचनात्मक चिंतन -

यह परिकल्पना के निर्माण का बहुत बड़ा आधार है। मुनरो ने इस पर विशेष बल दिया है। उन्होने इसके चार पद बताये हैं (i) तैयारी

 (ii) विकास

 (iii) प्रेरणा और

 (iv) परीक्षण | अर्थात किसी विचार के आने पर उसका विकास

किया, उस पर कार्य करने की प्रेरणा मिली, परिकल्पना निर्माण और परीक्षण किया।

अनुभवी व्यक्तियों से परिचर्चा -

अनुभवी एवं विषय विशेषज्ञों से परिचर्चा एवं मार्गदर्शन प्राप्त कर उपयुक्त परिकल्पना का निर्माण किया जा सकता है।

उत्तम परिकल्पना की विशेषताएं या कसौटी :

एक उत्तम परिकल्पना की निम्न विशेषतायें होती हैं -

परिकल्पना जाँचनीय हो 

एक अच्छी परिकल्पना की पहचान यह है कि उसका प्रतिपादन इस ढंग से किया जाये कि उसकी जाँच करने के बाद यह निश्चित रूप से कहा जा सके कि परिकल्पना सही है या गलत । इसके लिये यह आवश्यक है कि परिकल्पना की अभिव्यक्ति विस्तष्त ढ़ंग से न करके विशिष्ट ढंग से की जाये। अतः जाँचनीय परिकल्पना वह परिकल्पना है जिसे विश्वास के साथ कहा जाय कि वह सही है या गलत ।

परिकल्पना मितव्ययी हो

परिकल्पना की मितव्ययिता से तात्पर्य उसके ऐसे स्वरूप से है जिसकी जाँच करने में समय, श्रम एवं धन कम से कम खर्च हो और सुविधा अधिक प्राप्त हो।

परिकल्पना को क्षेत्र के मौजूदा सिद्धान्तों तथा तथ्यों से सम्बन्धित होना चाहिए

कुछ परिकल्पना ऐसी होती है जिनमें शोध समस्या का उत्तर तभी मिल पाता है जब अन्य कई उप कल्पनायें (Sub-hypothesis) तैयार कर ली जाये। ऐसा इसलिये होता है क्योंकि उनमें तार्किक पूर्णता तथा व्यापकता के आधार के अभाव होते हैं जिसके कारण वे स्वयं कुछ नयी समस्याओं को जन्म दे देते हैं और उनके लिये उपकल्पनायें तथा तदर्थ पूर्वकल्पनायें (adhoc assumptions) तैयार कर लिया जाना आवश्यक हो जाता है। ऐसी स्थिति में हम ऐसी अपूर्ण परिकल्पना की जगह तार्किक रूप से पूर्ण एवं व्यापक परिकल्पना का चयन करते हैं।

परिकल्पना को किसी न किसी सिद्धान्त अथवा तथ्य अथवा अनुभव पर आधारित होना चाहिये

• परिकल्पना कपोल कल्पित अथवा केवल रोचक न हो। अर्थात् परिकल्पना ऐसी बातों पर आधारित न हो जिनका कोई सैद्धान्तिक आधार न हो। जैसे - काले रंग के लोग गोरे रंग के लोगों की अपेक्षा अधिक विनम्र होते हैं। इस प्रकार की परिकल्पना आधारहीन परिकल्पना है क्योंकि यह किसी सिद्धान्त या मॉडल पर आधारित नहीं है।

परिकल्पना द्वारा अधिक से अधिक सामान्यीकरण किया जा सके

परिकल्पना का अधिक से अधिक सामान्यीकरण तभी सम्भव है जब परिकल्पना न तो बहुत व्यापक हो और न ही बहुत विशिष्ट हो किसी भी अच्छी परिकल्पना को संकीर्ण ( narrow) होना चाहिये ताकि उसके द्वारा किया गया सामान्यीकरण उचित एवं उपयोगी हो ।

परिकल्पना को संप्रत्यात्मक रूप से स्पष्ट होना चाहिए

संप्रत्यात्मक रूप से स्पष्ट होने का अर्थ है परिकल्पना व्यवहारिक एवं वस्तुनिष्ठ ढंग से परिभाषित हो तथा उसके अर्थ से अधिकतर लोग सहमत हों । ऐसा न हो कि परिभाषा सिर्फ व्यक्ति की व्यक्गित सोच की उपज हो तथा जिसका अर्थ सिर्फ वही समझता हो।

इस प्रकार हम पाते हैं कि शोध मनोवैज्ञानिक ने शोध परिकल्पना की कुछ ऐसी कसौटियों या विशेषताओं का वर्णन किया है जिसके आधार पर एक अच्छी शोध परिकल्पना की पहचान की जा सकती है।

परिकल्पना के प्रकार 

मनोवैज्ञानिक, समाजशास्त्र तथा शिक्षा के क्षेत्र में शोधकर्ताओं द्वारा बनायी गयी परिकल्पनाओं के स्वरूप पर यदि ध्यान दिया जाय तो यह स्पष्ट हो जायेगा कि उसे कई प्रकारों में बाँटा जा सकता है। शोध विशेषज्ञों ने परिकल्पना का वर्गीकरण निम्नांकित तीन आधारों पर किया है -

चरों की संख्या के आधार पर -

साधारण परिकल्पना साधारण परिकल्पना से तात्पर्य उस परिकल्पना - से है जिसमें चरों की संख्या मात्र दो होती है और इन्ही दो चरों के बीच के सम्बन्ध का अध्ययन किया जाता है। उदाहरण स्वरूप बच्चों के सीखने में पुरस्कार का सकारात्मक प्रभाव पड़ता है। यहाँ सीखना तथा पुरस्कार दो चर है जिनके बीच एक विशेष सम्बन्ध की चर्चा की है। इस प्रकार परिकल्पना साधारण परिकल्पना कहलाती है।

जटिल परिकल्पना - जटिल परिकल्पना से तात्पर्य उस परिकल्पना से है जिसमें दो से अधिक चरों के बीच आपसी सम्बन्ध का अध्ययन किया जाता है। जैसे- अंग्रेजी माध्यम के निम्न उपलब्धि के विद्यार्थियों का व्यक्तित्व हिन्दी माध्यम के उच्च उपलब्धि के विद्यार्थियों की अपेक्षा अधिक परिपक्व होता है । इस परिकल्पना में हिन्दी अंग्रेजी माध्यम निम्न उच्च उपलब्धि स्तर एवं व्यक्तित्व तीन प्रकार के चर सम्मिलित हैं अतः यह एक जटिल परिकल्पना का उदाहरण है।

  चरों की विशेष सम्बन्ध के आधार पर

मैक्ग्यूगन ने (Mc. Guigan, 1990) ने इस कसौटी के आधार पर परिकल्पना के मुख्य दो प्रकार बताये हैं।

Ii) सार्वत्रिक या सार्वभौमिक परिकल्पना -

 सार्वत्रिक परिकल्पना से स्वयम् स्पष्ट होता है कि ऐसी परिकल्पना जो हर क्षेत्र और समय में समान रूप से व्याप्त हो अर्थात् परिकल्पना का स्वरूप ऐसा हो जो निहित चरों के सभी तरह के मानों के बीच के सम्बन्ध को हर परिस्थित में हर समय बनाये रखे। उदाहरण स्वरूप- पुरस्कार देने से सीखने की प्रक्रिया में तेजी आती है। यह एक ऐसी परिकल्पना है जिसमें बताया गया सम्बन्ध अधिकांश परिस्थितियों में लागू होता है।

(ii) अस्तित्वात्मक परिकल्पना

 इस प्रकार की परिकल्पना यदि सभी - व्यक्तियों या परिस्थितियों के लिये नही तो कम से कम एक व्यक्ति या परिस्थिति के लिये निश्चित रूप से सही होती है। जैसे सीखने की प्रक्रिया में कक्षा में कम से कम एक बालक ऐसा है पुरस्कार की बजाय दण्ड से सीखता है इस प्रकार की परिकल्पना अस्तित्वात्मक परिकल्पना है।

विशिष्ट उद्देश्य के आधार पर

विशिष्ट उद्देश्य के आधार पर परिकल्पना के निम्न तीन प्रकार है।

(i) शोध परिकल्पना - इसे कार्यरूप परिकल्पना या कार्यात्मक परिकल्पना भी कहते हैं। ये परिकल्पना किसी न किसी सिद्धान्त पर आधारित या प्रेरित होती है। शोधकर्ता इस परिकल्पना की उदघोषणा बहुत ही विश्वास के साथ करता है तथा उसकी यह अभिलाषा होती है कि उसकी यह परिकल्पना सत्य सिद्ध हो उदाहरण के लिये 'करके सीखने' से प्राप्त अधिगम अधिक सुदृढ़ होता है और अधिक समय तक टिकता है।' चूँकि इस परिकल्पना में कथन 'करके सीखने के सिद्वान्त पर आधारित है अतः ये एक शोध परिकल्पना है।

शोध परिकल्पना दो प्रकार की होती है- 

दिशात्मक एवं अदिशात्मक | 

दिशात्मक परिकल्पना में परिकल्पना किसी एक दिशा अथवा दशा की ओर इंगित करती है जब कि अदिशात्मक परिकल्पना में ऐसा नही होता है।

उदाहरण- "विज्ञान वर्ग के छात्रों की बुद्धि एवं कला वर्ग के छात्रों की बुद्धि में अन्तर है।"

उपरोक्त परिकल्पना अदिशात्मक परिकल्पना का उदाहरण हैं।

क्योंकि बुद्धि में अन्तर किसका कम या ज्यादा है इस ओर संकेत नहीं किया गया। इसी परिकल्पना को यदि इस प्रकार लिखा जाय कि विज्ञान वर्ग के छात्रों की बुद्धि कला वर्ग के छात्रों की अपेक्षा कम होती है अथवा कला वर्ग के छात्रों की बुद्धि विज्ञान वर्ग के छात्रों की बुद्धि से कम है तो यह एक दिशात्मक शोध परिकल्पना होगी क्योंकि इसमें कम या अ क एक दिशा की ओर संकेत किया गया है।

(ii) शून्य परिकल्पना 

शून्य परिकल्पना शोध परिकल्पना के ठीक विपरीत होती है। इस परिकल्पना के माध्यम से हम चरों के बीच कोई अन्तर नहीं होने के संबंध का उल्लेख करते हैं। उदाहरण स्वरूप उपरोक्त परिकल्पना को नल परिकल्पना के रूप में निम्न रूप से लिखा जा सकता है विज्ञान वर्ग के छात्रों की बुद्धि लब्धि एंव कला वर्ग के छात्रों की बुद्धि लब्धि में कोई अंतर नहीं है। एक अन्य उदाहरण में यदि शोध परिकल्पना यह है कि, "व्यक्ति सूझ द्वारा प्रयत्न और भूल की अपेक्षा जल्दी सीखता है तो इस परिकल्पना की शून्य परिकल्पना यह होगी कि 'व्यक्ति सूझ द्वारा प्रयत्न और भूल की अपेक्षा जल्दी नहीं सीखता है। अतः उपरोक्त उदाहरणों के माध्यम से शून्य अथवा नल परिकल्पना को स्पष्ट रूप से समझा जा सकता है।

(iii) सांख्यिकीय परिकल्पना

 जब शोध परिकल्पना या शून्य परिकल्पना - का सांख्यिकीय पदों में अभिव्यक्त किया जाता है तो इस प्रकार की परिकल्पना सांख्यिकीय परिकल्पना कहलाती है। शोध परिकल्पना अथवा सांख्यिकीय परिकल्पना को सांख्यिकीय पदों में व्यक्त करने के लिये विशेष संकेतों का प्रयोग किया जाता है। शोध परिकल्पना के लिये H, तथा शून्य परिकल्पना के लिये H का प्रयोग होता है तथा माध्य के लिये X का प्रयोग किया जाता है।

उदाहरण- यदि शोध परिकल्पना यह है कि समूह 'क' बुद्धिलब्धि में समूह 'ख' से श्रेष्ठ है तो इसकी सांख्यिकीय परिकल्पना H तथा H के पदों में निम्नानुसार होगी -

H1 :  Xa > Xb

H0 : Xa = Xb

यहाँ पर माध्य X का प्रयोग इसलिये किया गया है क्योंकि एक दूसरे से बुद्धि लब्धि की श्रेष्ठता जानने के लिये दोनो समूहों की बुद्धि लब्धि का मध्यमान जानना होगा जिसके आधार पर श्रेष्ठता की माप की जा सकेगी।

इस प्रकार एक अन्य उदाहरण में यदि शोध परिकल्पना यह है कि समूह क की बुद्धि लब्धि एवं समूह 'ख' की बुद्धि लब्धि में अन्तर है तो इसकी H एवं H, इस प्रकार होगी।

H1 : Xa "" X b

H0 : Xa = X b

इस प्रकार विभिन्न प्रकार से शोध परिकल्पना का वर्गीकरण किया जा सकता है।

परिकल्पना के कार्य

अनुसन्धान कार्य में परिकल्पना के निम्नांकित कार्य है :

दिशा निर्देश देना

परिकल्पना अनुसंधानकता को निर्देशित करती है। इससे यह ज्ञात होता है कि अनुसन्धान कार्य में कौन कौन सी क्रियायें करती हैं एवं कैसे करनी है। अतः परिकल्पना के उचित निर्माण से कार्य की स्पष्ट दिशा निश्चित हो जाती है।

प्रमुख तथ्यों का चुनाव करना

परिकल्पना समस्या को सीमित करती है तथा महत्वपूर्ण तथ्यों के चुनाव में सहायता करती है। किसी भी क्षेत्र में कई प्रकार की समस्यायें हो सकती है लेकिन हमें अपने अध्ययन में उन समस्याओं में से किन पर अध्ययन करना है उनका चुनाव और सीमांकन परिकल्पना के माध्यम से ही होता है।

पुनरावृत्ति को सम्भव बनाना

पुनरावृत्ति अथवा पुनः परीक्षण द्वारा अनुसन्धान के निष्कर्ष की सत्यता का मूल्यांकन किया जाता है। परिकल्पना के अभाव में यह पुनः परीक्षण असम्भव होगा क्यों कि यह ज्ञात ही नहीं किया जा सकेगा किस विशेष पक्ष पर कार्य किया गया है तथा किसका नियंत्रण करके किसका अवलोकन किया गया है।

निष्कर्ष निकालने एवं नये सिद्धान्तों के प्रतिपादन करना -

परिकल्पना अनुसंधानकर्ता को एक निश्चित निष्कर्ष तक पहुंचने में सहायता करती है तथा जब कभी कभी मनोवैज्ञानिकों को यह विश्वास के साथ पता होता है कि अमुक घटना के पीछे क्या कारा है तो वह किसी सिद्धान्त की पष्ठभूमि की प्रतीक्षा किये बिना परिकल्पना बनाकर जाँच लेते हैं। परिकल्पना सत्य होने पर फिर वे अपनी पूर्वकल्पनाओं परिभाषाओं और सम्प्रत्ययों को तार्किक तंत्र में बांधकर एक नये सिद्धान्त का प्रतिपादन कर देते है।

अतः उपरोक्त वर्णन के आधार पर हम परिकल्पनाओं के क्या मुख्य कार्य है आदि की जानकारी स्पष्ट रूप से प्राप्त कर सकते हैं. किसी भी शोध परिकल्पना से तात्पर्य समस्या समाधान के लिये सुझाया गया वो उत्तर हैं जो दो या दो से अधिक चरों के बीच क्या और कैसा सम्बन्ध T है बताता है। शोध परिकल्पना को प्राप्त करने के कई स्रोत है व्यक्ति अपने आस-पास के वातावरण के प्रति सजग रहकर अपनी सूझ द्वारा इसे आसानी से प्राप्त कर सकता है। उत्तम परिकल्पनाओं की विशेषताओं पर विस्तृत प्रकाश डाला गया है। साथ ही परिकल्पनाओं के प्रकार को भी समझाया गया है।

परिकल्पना की विशेषताएं |Characteristics of hypothesis in Hindi

  परिकल्पना की विशेषताएं

उत्तम परिकल्पना की विशेषताएं या कसौटी  

एक उत्तम परिकल्पना की निम्न विशेषतायें होती है। -

1  परिकल्पना जाँचनीय हो -  

एक अच्छी परिकल्पना की पहचान यह है कि उसका प्रतिपादन इस ढंग से  - किया जाये कि उसकी जाँच करने के बाद यह निश्चित रूप से कहा जा सके कि परिकल्पना सही है या गलत। इसके लिये यह आवश्यक है कि परिकल्पना की अभिव्यक्ति विस्तप्त ढंग से न करके विशिष्ट ढंग से की जाये। अतः जाँचनीय परिकल्पना वह परिकल्पना है जिसे विश्वास के साथ कहा जाय कि वह सही है या गलत।

2  परिकल्पना मितव्ययी हो  

परिकल्पना की मितव्ययिता से तात्पर्य उसके ऐसे स्वरूप से है जिसकी जाँच करने में समय ,  श्रम एवं धन कम से कम खर्च हो और सुविधा अधिक प्राप्त हो ।

3  परिकल्पना को क्षेत्र के मौजूदा सिद्धान्तों तथा तथ्यों से सम्बन्धित होना चाहिए-

कुछ परिकल्पना ऐसी होती है जिनमें शोध समस्या का उत्तर तभी मिल पाता है जब अन्य कई उप कल्पनायें ( Sub-hypothesis)  तैयार कर ली जाये । ऐसा इसलिये होता है क्योंकि उनमें तार्किक पूर्णता तथा व्यापकता के आधार के अभाव होते हैं जिसके कारण वे स्वयं कुछ नयी समस्याओं को जन्म दे देते हैं और उनके लिये उपकल्पनायें तथा तदर्थ पूर्वकल्पनायें ( adhoc assumptions)  तैयार कर लिया जाना आवश्यक हो जाता है। ऐसी स्थिति में हम ऐसी अपूर्ण परिकल्पना की जगह तार्किक रूप से पूर्ण एवं व्यापक परिकल्पना का चयन करते हैं।

4  परिकल्पना को किसी न किसी सिद्धान्त अथवा तथ्य अथवा- अनुभव पर आधारित होना चाहिये  

परिकल्पना कपोल कल्पित अथवा केवल रोचक न हो । अर्थात् परिकल्पना ऐसी बातों पर आधारित न हो जिनका कोई सैद्धान्तिक आधार न हो। जैसे काले रंग के लोग गोरे रंग के लोगों की अपेक्षा अधिक विनम्र होते हैं। इस प्रकार की परिकल्पना आधारहीन परिकल्पना है क्योंकि यह किसी सिद्धान्त या मॉडल पर आधारित नहीं है।

5  परिकल्पना द्वारा अधिक से अधिक सामान्यीकरण किया जा सके  

परिकल्पना का अधिक से अधिक सामान्यीकरण तभी सम्भव है जब परिकल्पना न तो बहुत व्यापक हो और न ही बहुत विशिष्ट हो किसी भी अच्छी परिकल्पना को संकीर्ण ( narrow)  होना चाहिये ताकि उसके द्वारा किया गया  सामान्यीकरण उचित एवं उपयोगी हो ।

6  परिकल्पना को संप्रत्यात्मक रूप से स्पष्ट होना चाहिए-

संप्रत्यात्मक रूप से स्पष्ट होने का अर्थ हैं परिकल्पना व्यवहारिक एवं वस्तुनिष्ठ ढंग से परिभाषित हो तथा उसके अर्थ से अधिकतर लोग सहमत हों । ऐसा न हो कि परिभाषा सिर्फ व्यक्ति की व्यक्गित सोच की उपज हो तथा जिसका अर्थ सिर्फ वही समझता हो ।  

इस प्रकार हम पाते हैं कि शोध मनोवैज्ञानिक ने शोध परिकल्पना की कुछ ऐसी कसौटियों या विशेषताओं का वर्णन किया है जिसके आधार पर एक  अच्छी शोध परिकल्पना की पहचान की जा सकती है।

परिकल्पना अथवा हाइपोथिसिस क्या होती है । परिकल्पना का अर्थ एवं स्वरूप प्रकार | Hypothesis Definition Types in Hindi

  परिकल्पना   अथवा हाइपोथिसिस क्या होती है    what is hypothesis details  in hindi, परिकल्पना अथवा हाइपोथिसिस क्या है , परिकल्पना   अथवा हाइपोथिसिस-  प्रस्तावना ( introduction).

शोध-समस्या का अन्तिम रूप से निर्णय हो जाने के पश्चात् उसके समाधान की प्रक्रिया का आरंभ अर्थात् शोध-सामग्री का संग्रह किया जाना आरंभ होता है ,  परन्तु शोध-सामग्री का संग्रह आरंभ करने से पूर्व यह निश्चित कर लेना आवश्यक होता है कि इसके लिए किन दिशाओं में जाना होगा। इन दिशाओं की ओर संकेत करने वाले सूत्र उन परिकल्पनाओं में निहित रहते हैं ,  जिनका निर्माण अनुसंधानकर्ता अपने अध्ययनजनित ज्ञान ,  कल्पना एवं सृजनशीलता के आधार पर करता है। परिकल्पनाओं के अभाव में उसे शोध-सामग्री के संग्रह हेतु इधर-उधर भटकना पड़ेगा ,  जिससे उसके समय एवं शक्ति का अपव्यय होगा। अतः प्रायः सभी शोधकर्ता यह स्वीकार करते हैं कि जहाँ तक सम्भव हो ,  अनुसंधान का आरम्भ परिकल्पना से ही किया जाना चाहिए ,  क्योंकि वान डालेन के शब्दों में ,

  "  परिकल्पनाएँ अनुसंधान पथ में प्रकाश-स्तम्भ का कार्य करती हैं " ।

परिकल्पना का अर्थ एवं स्वरूप  (Meaning and Structure of Hypothesis)

जब किसी व्यक्ति के समक्ष कोई कठिनाई उत्पन्न हो जाती है ,  तो वह उसके निवारण के उपाय भी सोचने लगता है। फलस्वरूप ,  जो उपाय उसके मस्तिष्क में आते हैं ,  वे ही समस्या के सम्भावित समाधान होते हैं। यह दूसरी बात है कि वे बाद में सत्य सिद्ध न हों अथवा सत्य सिद्ध हों।

उदाहरण के लिए ,  एक छात्र परीक्षा में बार-बार असफल घोषित होता है। इसका क्या कारण है ,  यह जानने के लिए अनुसंधान हेतु उसे मनोवैज्ञानिक को सौंप दिया जाता है। समस्या के समाधान हेतु मनोवैज्ञानिक उसके असफल होने के कारणों की कल्पना करता है।  

• हो सकता है उसमें बुद्धि का अभाव हो।
• हो सकता है वह पढ़ने-लिखने में पहले से ही कमजोर हो।
• हो सकता है वह परीक्षा के समय अस्वस्थ हो गया हो ,  हो सकता है उसकी पढ़ने-लिखने में रुचि न हो। आदि  

कितनी ही परिकल्पनाएँ सम्भव हो सकती हैं। इनमें से कौन सत्य तथा कौन असत्य है ,  यह तो बाद में परीक्षण द्वारा ही पता लगेगा। इस प्रकार परिकल्पनाएँ एक प्रकार से समस्या के सम्भावित समाधान होती हैं।

यदि समस्या को प्रश्न के रूप में प्रस्तुत किया जाता है। (जैसे ,  छात्र बार-बार असफल क्यों होता है ?)  तो ये परिकल्पनाएँ इस प्रश्न के सम्भावित उत्तर समझे जा सकते हैं ,  परन्तु वैज्ञानिक अनुसंधान का आरंभ इसी बिन्दु से होता है।

परिकल्पना अंग्रेजी भाषा के शब्द   ' हाइपोथिसिस ' (hypothesis)  का हिन्दी रूपांतर है ,  जिसका अर्थ है ऐसी मान्यता ( T hesis )  जो अभी अपुष्ट ( H ypo)  है।

हौडनेट के शब्दों में परिकल्पना अथवा हाइपोथिसिस

परिकल्पनाएँ शोधकर्ता की आँखें होती हैं जिनके द्वारा वह समस्यागत अव्यवस्था (अव्यवस्थित तथ्यों) में झाँककर देखता है तथा उनमें समस्या का समाधान खोजता है।

वान डालेन के अनुसार परिकल्पना अथवा हाइपोथिसिस

परिकल्पना शोधकर्ता का समस्या के समाधान अथवा समस्यात्मक प्रश्न के उत्तर के विषय में एक बुद्धिमत्तापूर्ण अनुमान ( intelligent guess)  होती है। वह परिकल्पना को समस्या का ऐसा समाधान मानते हैं ,  जो केवल एक सुझाव के रूप में होता है।  

परिकल्पना दो या दो से अधिक चरों के बीच संबंध के विषय में एक प्रकार का कल्पनाजन्य कथन होती है।  

जैसे बुद्धि बालकों की शैक्षिक उपलब्धि को प्रभावित करती है। यह एक परिकल्पना है। इसमें बुद्धि एवं शैक्षिक उपलब्धि के बीच एक विशिष्ट प्रकार के संबंध की कल्पना की गई है। जब कोई समस्या व्यक्ति के समक्ष उत्पन्न होती है और उसका समाधान खोजने का वह प्रयास करता है ,  तो पहले अपने ज्ञान ,  अनुभव ,  अध्ययन आदि के आधार पर कल्पना करता है कि उसका संभव समाधान क्या हो सकता है। इसी प्रकार जब किसी प्रश्न का उत्तर खोजने का प्रयास करता है ,  तो पहले कल्पना करता है कि उसका सम्भावित उत्तर क्या हो सकता है। इन सम्भावित समाधानों ,  सम्भावित उत्तरों को वह सामान्यानुमानों ( generalizations)  के रूप में प्रस्तुत करता है तथा बाद में यह परीक्षण करता है कि वे कहाँ तक सत्य हैं। ये सामान्यानुमान ही परिकल्पनाएँ कहलाती हैं।  

इस प्रकार बेस्ट ( 1977)  के शब्दों में  

परिकल्पना एक ऐसा पूर्वानुमान ( inference)  होती है ,  जिसका निर्माण वस्तुस्थिति ,  घटनाओं एवं परिस्थितियों की व्याख्या करने हेतु अस्थायी रूप से किया जाता है और जो अनुसंधान कार्य को आगे बढ़ाने में सहायता करती है अर्थात् बाद में परीक्षण के द्वारा यदि वह सत्यापित हो जाती है तो समस्या का समाधान हो जाता है तथा वस्तुस्थिति स्पष्ट हो जाती है।

प्रतिदिन ही हम अपने दैनिक जीवन में उत्पन्न होने वाली समस्याओं का समाधान इसी प्रकार (अर्थात् परिकल्पना का निर्माण और फिर उसका परीक्षण) करते हैं।  

कमरे में जल रहा बल्ब अचानक बुझ जाता है ,

तुरंत व्यक्ति स्वयं से पूछता है  " क्या हुआ ?

एक समस्या उत्पन्न हुई है। इस समस्या का समाधान ,  उस प्रश्न का उत्तर पाने हेतु वह एक-एक परिकल्पना का निर्माण करता है और उसका परीक्षण करता है। अन्त में उसे वस्तुस्थिति स्पष्ट हो जाती है।  

पहले अनुमान लगाता है अर्थात् परिकल्पना का निर्माण करता है  "  सम्भवतः स्रोत से ही विद्युत गई है। "  वह बाहर निकल कर और घरों की ओर देखता है तथा पाता है कि और सबके घरों में तो बिजली आ रही है। अतः यह परिकल्पना असत्य सिद्ध हो जाती है  

तब दूसरी परिकल्पना करता है  "  अपने घर का ही फ्यूज तो नहीं उड़ गया " । वह कट आउट निकालकर फ्यूज का परीक्षण करता है तथा पाता है कि उसमें कोई खराबी नहीं है। यह परिकल्पना भी असत्य सिद्ध होती है।  

तब वह तीसरी परिकल्पना का निर्माण करता है  " बल्ब तो फ्यूज नहीं हो गया  " बल्ब    का परीक्षण करने पर पाता है कि वह फ्यूज हो गया है। यह परिकल्पना सत्य सिद्ध होती है।  

इससे बिन्दु पर पहुँचकर समस्या का समाधान भी हो सकता है तथा सम्पूर्ण स्थिति स्पष्ट हो जाती है। सभी समस्याओं के समाधान खोजने के पीछे यही प्रक्रिया रहती है तथा उसमें परिकल्पनाओं (पूर्वानुमानों ,  सम्भावित उत्तरों एवं समाधानों) की महत्त्वपूर्ण भूमिका होती है। अनुसंधान भी समस्या समाधान की ही एक विशिष्ट एवं वैज्ञानिक प्रक्रिया होती है। अत: अनुसंधान में भी परिकल्पनाओं की महत्त्वपूर्ण भूमिका होती है।जो ज्ञातव्य है ,  उसके विषय में   ' क्या है ', ' क्यों है '.  इस विषय में पूर्वानुमान लगाना ही परिकल्पना होती है।

परिकल्पना के प्रकार ( Types of Hypothesis)

सामान्यतः   परिकल्पना के छह रूप हैं और वे हैं-

1.     सरल परिकल्पना

2.     जटिल परिकल्पना

3.     दिशात्मक परिकल्पना

4.     गैर-दिशात्मक परिकल्पना

5.     शून्य परिकल्पना

6.     साहचर्य और आकस्मिक परिकल्पना

Main Characteristics of Good Hypothesis

To complete the research project successfully, it is necessary to write or plan a Good Hypothesis. The hypothesis is nothing but the basic Assumption to do research Project. There are many characteristics of good hypothesis which researcher need to understand, plan and write before starting the actual research work.

Let’s have a look at main characteristics of Good Hypothesis are given as below –

Testable is one of the most important characteristics of a good hypothesis.

The means for manipulating the variables and/or measuring the outcome variable must potentially exist

Falsifiable

Must be able to reject the hypothesis with data

This characteristic is related to the ability to reject the hypothesis with data.

Parsimonious

– should be stated in the simplest adequate form

– Should be specific

This characteristic suggest it should be specific and operationalized.

– Relate to existing theories and/or “point” toward new theories

– it should lead to studies beyond the present one (often hard to determine in advance)

Sound reasoning

A. Your hypothesis should be based on previous research.

B. The hypothesis should follow the most likely outcome, not an exceptional outcome.

Provides a reasonable explanation for the predicted outcome.

A. Do not look for unrealistic explanations.

Clearly states the relationship between the defined variables.

A. Clear, simply written hypothesis is easier to test.

B. Do not be vague.

Defines the variables in easy to measure terms.

A. Who are the participants?

B. What is different or will be different in your test?

C. What is the effect?

Testable in a reasonable amount of time.

A. Do not plan a test that will take longer than your class project.

Characteristics Of A Good Hypothesis​

What exactly is a hypothesis.

A hypothesis is a conclusion reached after considering the evidence. This is the first step in any investigation, where the research questions are translated into a prediction. Variables, population, and the relationship between the variables are all included. A research hypothesis is a hypothesis that is tested to see if two or more variables have a relationship. Now let’s have a look at the characteristics of a  good hypothesis.

 Characteristics of

A good hypothesis has the following characteristics.

 Ability To Predict

Closest to things that can be seen, testability, relevant to the issue, techniques that are applicable, new discoveries have been made as a result of this ., harmony & consistency.

• The similarity between the two phenomena.
• Observations from previous studies, current experiences, and feedback from rivals.
• Theories based on science.
• People’s thinking processes are influenced by general patterns.
• A straightforward hypothesis
• Complex Hypothesis
• Hypothesis  with a certain direction
•  Non-direction Hypothesis
• Null Hypothesis
• Hypothesis of association and chance

What is Hypothesis? Definition, Meaning, Characteristics, Sources

• What is Hypothesis?

Hypothesis is a prediction of the outcome of a study. Hypotheses are drawn from theories and research questions or from direct observations. In fact, a research problem can be formulated as a hypothesis. To test the hypothesis we need to formulate it in terms that can actually be analysed with statistical tools.

As an example, if we want to explore whether using a specific teaching method at school will result in better school marks (research question), the hypothesis could be that the mean school marks of students being taught with that specific teaching method will be higher than of those being taught using other methods.

In this example, we stated a hypothesis about the expected differences between groups. Other hypotheses may refer to correlations between variables.

• 5.1 Observation
• 5.2 Analogies

Thus, to formulate a hypothesis, we need to refer to the descriptive statistics (such as the mean final marks), and specify a set of conditions about these statistics (such as a difference between the means, or in a different example, a positive or negative correlation). The hypothesis we formulate applies to the population of interest.

The null hypothesis makes a statement that no difference exists (see Pyrczak, 1995, pp. 75-84).

Hypothesis Definition

A hypothesis is ‘a guess or supposition as to the existence of some fact or law which will serve to explain a connection of facts already known to exist.’ – J. E. Creighton & H. R. Smart

Hypothesis is ‘a proposition not known to be definitely true or false, examined for the sake of determining the consequences which would follow from its truth.’ – Max Black

Hypothesis is ‘a proposition which can be put to a test to determine validity and is useful for further research.’ – W. J. Goode and P. K. Hatt

A hypothesis is a proposition, condition or principle which is assumed, perhaps without belief, in order to draw out its logical consequences and by this method to test its accord with facts which are known or may be determined. – Webster’s New International Dictionary of the English Language (1956)

Meaning of Hypothesis

From the above mentioned definitions of hypothesis, its meaning can be explained in the following ways.

• At the primary level, a hypothesis is the possible and probable explanation of the sequence of happenings or data.
• Sometimes, hypothesis may emerge from an imagination, common sense or a sudden event.
• Hypothesis can be a probable answer to the research problem undertaken for study. 4. Hypothesis may not always be true. It can get disproven. In other words, hypothesis need not always be a true proposition.
• Hypothesis, in a sense, is an attempt to present the interrelations that exist in the available data or information.
• Hypothesis is not an individual opinion or community thought. Instead, it is a philosophical means which is to be used for research purpose. Hypothesis is not to be considered as the ultimate objective; rather it is to be taken as the means of explaining scientifically the prevailing situation.

The concept of hypothesis can further be explained with the help of some examples. Lord Keynes, in his theory of national income determination, made a hypothesis about the consumption function. He stated that the consumption expenditure of an individual or an economy as a whole is dependent on the level of income and changes in a certain proportion.

Later, this proposition was proved in the statistical research carried out by Prof. Simon Kuznets. Matthus, while studying the population, formulated a hypothesis that population increases faster than the supply of food grains. Population studies of several countries revealed that this hypothesis is true.

Validation of the Malthus’ hypothesis turned it into a theory and when it was tested in many other countries it became the famous Malthus’ Law of Population. It thus emerges that when a hypothesis is tested and proven, it becomes a theory. The theory, when found true in different times and at different places, becomes the law. Having understood the concept of hypothesis, few hypotheses can be formulated in the areas of commerce and economics.

• Population growth moderates with the rise in per capita income.
• Sales growth is positively linked with the availability of credit.
• Commerce education increases the employability of the graduate students.
• High rates of direct taxes prompt people to evade taxes.
• Good working conditions improve the productivity of employees.
• Advertising is the most effecting way of promoting sales than any other scheme.
• Higher Debt-Equity Ratio increases the probability of insolvency.
• Economic reforms in India have made the public sector banks more efficient and competent.
• Foreign direct investment in India has moved in those sectors which offer higher rate of profit.
• There is no significant association between credit rating and investment of fund.

Characteristics of Hypothesis

Not all the hypotheses are good and useful from the point of view of research. It is only a few hypotheses satisfying certain criteria that are good, useful and directive in the research work undertaken. The characteristics of such a useful hypothesis can be listed as below:

Conceptual Clarity

Need of empirical referents, hypothesis should be specific, hypothesis should be within the ambit of the available research techniques, hypothesis should be consistent with the theory, hypothesis should be concerned with observable facts and empirical events, hypothesis should be simple.

The concepts used while framing hypothesis should be crystal clear and unambiguous. Such concepts must be clearly defined so that they become lucid and acceptable to everyone. How are the newly developed concepts interrelated and how are they linked with the old one is to be very clear so that the hypothesis framed on their basis also carries the same clarity.

A hypothesis embodying unclear and ambiguous concepts can to a great extent undermine the successful completion of the research work.

A hypothesis can be useful in the research work undertaken only when it has links with some empirical referents. Hypothesis based on moral values and ideals are useless as they cannot be tested. Similarly, hypothesis containing opinions as good and bad or expectation with respect to something are not testable and therefore useless.

For example, ‘current account deficit can be lowered if people change their attitude towards gold’ is a hypothesis encompassing expectation. In case of such a hypothesis, the attitude towards gold is something which cannot clearly be described and therefore a hypothesis which embodies such an unclean thing cannot be tested and proved or disproved. In short, the hypothesis should be linked with some testable referents.

For the successful conduction of research, it is necessary that the hypothesis is specific and presented in a precise manner. Hypothesis which is general, too ambitious and grandiose in scope is not to be made as such hypothesis cannot be easily put to test. A hypothesis is to be based on such concepts which are precise and empirical in nature. A hypothesis should give a clear idea about the indicators which are to be used.

For example, a hypothesis that economic power is increasingly getting concentrated in a few hands in India should enable us to define the concept of economic power. It should be explicated in terms of measurable indicator like income, wealth, etc. Such specificity in the formulation of a hypothesis ensures that the research is practicable and significant.

While framing the hypothesis, the researcher should be aware of the available research techniques and should see that the hypothesis framed is testable on the basis of them. In other words, a hypothesis should be researchable and for this it is important that a due thought has been given to the methods and techniques which can be used to measure the concepts and variables embodied in the hypothesis.

It does not however mean that hypotheses which are not testable with the available techniques of research are not to be made. If the problem is too significant and therefore the hypothesis framed becomes too ambitious and complex, it’s testing becomes possible with the development of new research techniques or the hypothesis itself leads to the development of new research techniques.

A hypothesis must be related to the existing theory or should have a theoretical orientation. The growth of knowledge takes place in the sequence of facts, hypothesis, theory and law or principles. It means the hypothesis should have a correspondence with the existing facts and theory.

If the hypothesis is related to some theory, the research work will enable us to support, modify or refute the existing theory. Theoretical orientation of the hypothesis ensures that it becomes scientifically useful. According to Prof. Goode and Prof. Hatt, research work can contribute to the existing knowledge only when the hypothesis is related with some theory.

This enables us to explain the observed facts and situations and also verify the framed hypothesis. In the words of Prof. Cohen and Prof. Nagel, “hypothesis must be formulated in such a manner that deduction can be made from it and that consequently a decision can be reached as to whether it does or does not explain the facts considered.”

If the research work based on a hypothesis is to be successful, it is necessary that the later is as simple and easy as possible. An ambition of finding out something new may lead the researcher to frame an unrealistic and unclear hypothesis. Such a temptation is to be avoided. Framing a simple, easy and testable hypothesis requires that the researcher is well acquainted with the related concepts.

Sources of Hypothesis

Hypotheses can be derived from various sources. Some of the sources is given below:

Observation

State of knowledge, continuity of research.

Hypotheses can be derived from observation from the observation of price behavior in a market. For example the relationship between the price and demand for an article is hypothesized.

Analogies are another source of useful hypotheses. Julian Huxley has pointed out that casual observations in nature or in the framework of another science may be a fertile source of hypotheses. For example, the hypotheses that similar human types or activities may be found in similar geophysical regions come from plant ecology.

This is one of the main sources of hypotheses. It gives direction to research by stating what is known logical deduction from theory lead to new hypotheses. For example, profit / wealth maximization is considered as the goal of private enterprises. From this assumption various hypotheses are derived’.

An important source of hypotheses is the state of knowledge in any particular science where formal theories exist hypotheses can be deduced. If the hypotheses are rejected theories are scarce hypotheses are generated from conception frameworks.

Another source of hypotheses is the culture on which the researcher was nurtured. Western culture has induced the emergence of sociology as an academic discipline over the past decade, a large part of the hypotheses on American society examined by researchers were connected with violence. This interest is related to the considerable increase in the level of violence in America.

The continuity of research in a field itself constitutes an important source of hypotheses. The rejection of some hypotheses leads to the formulation of new ones capable of explaining dependent variables in subsequent research on the same subject.

Null and Alternative Hypothesis

Null hypothesis.

The hypothesis that are proposed with the intent of receiving a rejection for them are called Null Hypothesis . This requires that we hypothesize the opposite of what is desired to be proved. For example, if we want to show that sales and advertisement expenditure are related, we formulate the null hypothesis that they are not related.

Similarly, if we want to conclude that the new sales training programme is effective, we formulate the null hypothesis that the new training programme is not effective, and if we want to prove that the average wages of skilled workers in town 1 is greater than that of town 2, we formulate the null hypotheses that there is no difference in the average wages of the skilled workers in both the towns.

Since we hypothesize that sales and advertisement are not related, new training programme is not effective and the average wages of skilled workers in both the towns are equal, we call such hypotheses null hypotheses and denote them as H 0 .

Alternative Hypothesis

Rejection of null hypotheses leads to the acceptance of alternative hypothesis . The rejection of null hypothesis indicates that the relationship between variables (e.g., sales and advertisement expenditure) or the difference between means (e.g., wages of skilled workers in town 1 and town 2) or the difference between proportions have statistical significance and the acceptance of the null hypotheses indicates that these differences are due to chance.

As already mentioned, the alternative hypotheses specify that values/relation which the researcher believes hold true. The alternative hypotheses can cover a whole range of values rather than a single point. The alternative hypotheses are denoted by H 1 .

What is Hypothesis?

We have heard of many hypotheses which have led to great inventions in science. Assumptions that are made on the basis of some evidence are known as hypotheses. In this article, let us learn in detail about the hypothesis and the type of hypothesis with examples.

A hypothesis is an assumption that is made based on some evidence. This is the initial point of any investigation that translates the research questions into predictions. It includes components like variables, population and the relation between the variables. A research hypothesis is a hypothesis that is used to test the relationship between two or more variables.

Characteristics of Hypothesis

Following are the characteristics of the hypothesis:

• The hypothesis should be clear and precise to consider it to be reliable.
• If the hypothesis is a relational hypothesis, then it should be stating the relationship between variables.
• The hypothesis must be specific and should have scope for conducting more tests.
• The way of explanation of the hypothesis must be very simple and it should also be understood that the simplicity of the hypothesis is not related to its significance.

Sources of Hypothesis

Following are the sources of hypothesis:

• The resemblance between the phenomenon.
• Observations from past studies, present-day experiences and from the competitors.
• Scientific theories.
• General patterns that influence the thinking process of people.

Types of Hypothesis

There are six forms of hypothesis and they are:

• Simple hypothesis
• Complex hypothesis
• Directional hypothesis
• Non-directional hypothesis
• Null hypothesis
• Associative and casual hypothesis

Simple Hypothesis

It shows a relationship between one dependent variable and a single independent variable. For example – If you eat more vegetables, you will lose weight faster. Here, eating more vegetables is an independent variable, while losing weight is the dependent variable.

Complex Hypothesis

It shows the relationship between two or more dependent variables and two or more independent variables. Eating more vegetables and fruits leads to weight loss, glowing skin, and reduces the risk of many diseases such as heart disease.

Directional Hypothesis

It shows how a researcher is intellectual and committed to a particular outcome. The relationship between the variables can also predict its nature. For example- children aged four years eating proper food over a five-year period are having higher IQ levels than children not having a proper meal. This shows the effect and direction of the effect.

Non-directional Hypothesis

It is used when there is no theory involved. It is a statement that a relationship exists between two variables, without predicting the exact nature (direction) of the relationship.

Null Hypothesis

It provides a statement which is contrary to the hypothesis. It’s a negative statement, and there is no relationship between independent and dependent variables. The symbol is denoted by “H O ”.

Associative and Causal Hypothesis

Associative hypothesis occurs when there is a change in one variable resulting in a change in the other variable. Whereas, the causal hypothesis proposes a cause and effect interaction between two or more variables.

Examples of Hypothesis

Following are the examples of hypotheses based on their types:

• Consumption of sugary drinks every day leads to obesity is an example of a simple hypothesis.
• All lilies have the same number of petals is an example of a null hypothesis.
• If a person gets 7 hours of sleep, then he will feel less fatigue than if he sleeps less. It is an example of a directional hypothesis.

Functions of Hypothesis

Following are the functions performed by the hypothesis:

• Hypothesis helps in making an observation and experiments possible.
• It becomes the start point for the investigation.
• Hypothesis helps in verifying the observations.
• It helps in directing the inquiries in the right direction.

How will Hypothesis help in the Scientific Method?

Researchers use hypotheses to put down their thoughts directing how the experiment would take place. Following are the steps that are involved in the scientific method:

• Formation of question
• Doing background research
• Creation of hypothesis
• Designing an experiment
• Collection of data
• Result analysis
• Summarizing the experiment
• Communicating the results

Characteristics of Hypothesis

Sources of hypothesis, types of hypothesis, hypothesis examples, functions of hypothesis.

A Hypothesis should have the following characteristics in order to be complete and good.

• It must come into direct contact with observable objects. It should not be based on fake belief , but rather on observation. Those things and objects that we cannot observe in order to formulate that hypothesis.
• A Hypothesis should be understandable to everyone including laymen. It should not contain scientific terms or definitions which are complex and difficult to anyone.
• A Hypothesis has to be specific and to the point. It should not roam around the topic or contain extra irrelevant information.
• It should also be able to provide new ideas and suggestions to the investigation.

There are several sources of hypothesis but some of the important ones are given as follows :

• Previous study ? Previous knowledge and information regarding the topic of hypothesis will be extremely helpful to create a concrete hypothesis.
• Personal experience ? If one has a personal experience regarding the topic of investigation, he/she can use that information in the hypothesis to make it more complete and good quality.
• Thinking and imagination ? A researcher's creative thinking and imagination can sometimes aid in the formulation of a good hypothesis. A researcher's personal ideas and thinking abilities would result in a greater number of hypothesis formulations as well as control over the problem.
• Scientific theory ? It would be extremely helpful to use scientific theories in hypothesis because it is capable of explaining all the facts related to the investigation.

NCERT Physics Notes:

• NCERT Notes For All Subjects

There are basically several types of Hypothesis but some of the common and important type of formulation of Hypothesis are explained below:

• Simple hypothesis ? It is also known as a basic hypothesis. It depicts the relationship between two variables, one of which is known as the independent variable or ‘cause' and the other as the dependent variable or ‘effect.'
• Complex hypothesis ? A complex hypothesis is one that has multiple dependent and independent variables.
• Null hypothesis ? It contradicts the empirical hypothesis because it asserts that there is no relationship between the dependent and independent variables. It basically says that the data and variables being tested do not exist.
• Alternative hypothesis ? It is also referred to as a sustained hypothesis or a research hypothesis. To begin, numerous hypothesis are proposed. The most efficient one is then chosen from among them. Alternative hypothesis are further classified into four main types
• Point alternative hypothesis
• Non-directional alternative hypothesis
• One-tailed directional hypothesis

Two-tailed directional hypothesis

• Logical hypothesis ? It is logically verified, as the name implies. The verification process entails the following steps:
• Disagreement
• Different points of view
• Empirical hypothesis ? It is also known as a 'working hypothesis.' During the formulation phase, it is only an assumption, but once tested, it is no longer just an idea or notion. It is actually changing in relation to those independent variables.
• Statistical hypothesis ? The statement could be logical or illogical, but if statistical evidence validates it, it becomes a statistical hypothesis.

To understand the concept of hypothesis more clearly and completely, here are the examples of each type of hypothesis :

• Simple hypothesis :

Icebergs melt as a result of global warming.

The cause in this case is global warming, and the effect is melting icebergs.

• Complex hypothesis :

Global warming causes icebergs to melt which leads to significant changes in weather patterns.

The cause in this case is global warming but the effect is melting icebergs along with changing weather.

• Null hypothesis :

Water has no effect on plant growth.

Read must :

• NCERT notes Class 11 Physics Chapter 1 Physical world
• NCERT solutions for Class 11 Physics Chapter 1 Physical world

Logical hypothesis :

An animal cannot survive in the absence of water.

This is correct because all living things require water.

• Empirical hypothesis :

Cotton clothing is preferable to velvet clothing in the summer.

• Statistical hypothesis :

Vitamin C is beneficial to the skin.

To validate this hypothesis, you would need to test it on a group of people. This is a statistical approach to verifying the statement.

There are several functions of hypothesis. Some of them are given below:

• Hypothesis facilitates observation and experimentation.
• It serves as the investigation’s starting point.
• The hypothesis aids in the verification of the observations.
• It aids in steering inquiries in the right direction.
