Theoretical Framework and Hypothesis Development - Test Bank

The document contains a test bank of multiple choice questions about theoretical frameworks, hypothesis development, mediating variables, and moderating variables. Some key points covered are: - A hypothesis is based on theory and aims to be testable. - A theoretical framework includes a model with relationships but not the operationalization of constructs or hypotheses. - Moderating variables influence the relationship between an independent and dependent variable, while mediating variables influence the relationship indirectly. - Hypotheses can be tested through both qualitative and quantitative research.
