With the following research topic, develop testable, two-variable hypotheses.Discuss and be
prepared to report on:Research topics: Social workers’ job satisfaction (DV) in rural mental
health agencies and important factors to explain their job satisfaction.1. In this study, the
dependent variable is social worker’s job satisfaction.To explain their job satisfaction level,
you need to identify potential independent variables in each of following areas:(1) social
worker’s personal characteristics (such as age, gender),(2) social worker’s perception (such
as perception of relationship with co-workers),(3) social worker’s attitude (such as attitude
toward court-ordered clients),(4) social worker’s work environment (such as current
caseloads).List at least five independent variables with rationales.2. List at least three one-
tailed hypotheses (2 points).Sample one-tailed hypotheses:– As X (Independent variable)
increases, Y (Dependent variable) is more liekely to be greater (or higher);– If X is higher, Y
will be greater;– A (comparison group 1) are more likey to be greater (or higher) in Y than B
(comparison group 2).
