Read the following paragraph and answer the five questions which follow: The concept of variable is of central importance in research. In psychological research, variables can be classified in several ways. Edwards has classified variables in three types – stimulus variables, behavioural variables and organism variables. From another perspective, variables have been classified into two types – the continuous variables and discrete variables. The discrete variables are further subclassified as real discrete variables and artificially discrete variables. The variables in research can be defined in various ways, the two common types of definitions being – constitutive definitions and operational definitions. The operationalization of variables is of crucial importance in carrying out actual research. The tentative statements of expected relationship between two or more variables are called hypotheses. The research hypotheses may be directional or nondirectional. Needless to say that the hypotheses constitute to be the powerful tools in psychological research.46.
