leon93 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I state my hypothesis as two-tailed, but than I predict that " memory will be distorted depending on which schema will be activated. The verb “contacted” is associated with slower speed compared to “smashed into”. "does it mean that I have to formulate my hypo as one-tailed? or it is ok with two-tailed?Null Hypothesis: there will be no difference between estimated speed in the control condition where the verb is “contacted” and the experimental condition where the verb is “smashed into”.Experimental Hypthesis: there will be a significant difference between estimated speed in the control condition where the verb is “contacted” and the experimental condition where the verb is “smashed into”.

blindpet Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 If you are using a two-tailed hypothesis but predict a unidirectional result, you are contradicting yourself. I would use the one-tailed hypothesis. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
