Answer to Question 1

Research questions express the research objectives in terms of questions that can be addressed by research. For example, a research question might be Are consumers' perceptions of food quality, price, and atmosphere related to customer loyalty? Hypotheses are more specific than research questions. One key distinction between research questions and hypotheses is that hypotheses can generally specify the direction of a relationship. For example, a hypothesis might be stated as, Food quality perceptions are related positively to customer commitment toward a restaurant.. At times, a researcher may suspect that two variables are related but have insufficient theoretical rationale to support the relationship as positive or negative. In this case, hypotheses cannot be offered. At times in research, particularly in exploratory research, a proposal can only offer research questions. Research hypotheses are much more specific and therefore require considerably more theoretical support. In addition, research questions are interrogative, whereas research hypotheses are declarative.
