You explained a seemingly difficult task of converting research questions into hypotheses in an easy-to-understand manner, “Simply answer your research question with your best guess and available literature.” Thank you.

I am a student of political science.
I am working on the topic" A critical analysis of Savarkar's political thought from 1907 to 1925" .
My research questions are:
1. What was Savarkar's political thought before 1923 i.e. before the publication of his work Hindutva?
2. How did his thought evolve after 1923?
3. What are the reasons that account for this evolution?

My hypothesis:
Savarkar's political thought went through a drastic evolution from 1907 to 1923 because of the changes that were taking place in India in the political, social and and cultural sphere.

Hi Dr. Alana, this short video is beneficial, I do have three research questions if you could help me to get a hypothesis out of them I would appreciate it, and I'm wondering how many hypotheses should i have at least in the dissertation. here are the questions:
Is Saudi Arabia perceived as a safe destination for international non-Muslim tourists?
To what extent does social media affect on tourist destination's reputation?
To what extent does social media affect tourists' decision-making?

In a hypothesis you are suggesting the answer to your research question. Is it okay to state research questions then suggest the hypothesis to these questions?

Hi, Dr. Alana Rister thanks for the explanation. Can you please help with my research question & hypothesis, I want to know whether I am going in the right direction or not?
My research questions are:
i. What are the methods used for constructing managed entry agreements for Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPS) in the Netherlands and in Italy?
o What are the existing Managed Entry Agreements for ATMPs in the Netherlands, Italy, and in Bulgaria for the past six years i.e., from 2014 to 2020?
ii. What are the experiences and challenges perceived by both Market Authorization Holders (MHA) and payers while implementing managed entry agreements for Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPS) in the Netherlands and in Italy?
iii. What are the managed entry agreements, and methods of reimbursement for ATMPs in middle-income countries like Bulgaria?
o How can these experiences and learnings be adapted for future managed agreements in EU – middle-income countries like Bulgaria?

The hypothesis is: “the methods, experiences, and learnings of managed entry agreements for ATMPs from high-income countries like the Netherlands and Italy can be adapted for future managed entry agreements in EU middle-income countries like Bulgaria under certain conditions”.

Hello Dr. Alana, I am a teacher, but I am currently taking a master's program, and I am clueless on this topic of the research questions and hypothesis. I have done this proposal for my research course, but I would like to receive some feedback on it
RQ: How to use the color vowel chart as a tool to enhance the pronunciation of English as a Second Language of sixth-grade students at República de Costa Rica School?
Hypothesis:
The use of the color vowel chart as a didactic tool will enhance the pronunciation of sixth-grade students of English as a Second Language at República de Costa Rica School.
Variables:

Dependent: enhance the pronunciation of sixth-grade students of English as a Second Language at República de Costa Rica School.

Null Hypothesis
The use of the color vowel chart as a didactic tool will have no effect to enhance the pronunciation of sixth-grade students of English as a Second Language at República de Costa Rica School.

I applied your approach to a research question. I did literature search to obtain a possible answer to this research question.
Is this answer a research hypothesis ?
can I break up this answer into a small set of research hypotheses ?
