Evidence and Knowledge
Part I: Formulating hypotheses

Pick up two concepts from the list below and formulate three hypotheses with three different forms of hypotheses including positive,negative, and non-directional relations. After formulating hypotheses, briefly explain Why and how the two concepts you have chosen are related to one another.
Example:
Concepts: satisfaction with the government and protest participation
Hypothesis: There is a negative relationship between satisfaction with the government and protest participation.
Explanation: Protest is a political expression of objection to certain policies, events,organizations, and elites. People participate in protest to make their voice heard in society when they are not happy with politics. Therefore, we can reasonably hypothesize that satisfaction with the government will reduce people’s willingness to join protest.

i Part II: Variables in research questions (3 points each)
First, consider this example: “Do political radicals come from rich families?” The statement can be totally wrong, but at least it is possible to identify the dependent variable and the independent variable. The dependent variable is political radicals, and the independent
variable is income of families. It is suggested that families with higher income are more likely to produce politically radical individuals than families with lower income.

Identify an independent variable and a dependent variable in the following research questions.

1. Does citizens’ trust in politicians increase their willingness to vote?

a. Dependent variable:
b. Independent variable:

2. V Does foreign aid lead to the expansion of government in countries that receive aid?

a. Dependent variable:
b. Independent variable:

3. What caused Greece’s debt crisis?

a. Dependent variable:
b. Independent variable:

4. Does the unequal distribution of land result in peasant?

b. Independent variable

5. In the post-September II era, did an American citizen’s sense of threat reduce support for civil liberties?
