Assignment Week 4: Research Question to
Research Hypothesis
Student
Name: Angie Woods
One research question from the
list above that in my opinion lends itself to being stated as a hypothesis. Research
Question 6: Do mothers and fathers interact with infants in the same way? I
just believe to me that mother and fathers does not interact with infants the
same. A mother is more caring plus more protective of any danger of an infant
and also tends more to the infant. When to me fathers are more laid back in
tending to the infants they protect the infants but it’s not like how a mother
would. If you are mother to an infant if seeing another baby in need a natural
reaction will the mother have for caring for an infant? Which the father can
have an infant but see another infant will not react toward any other infant as
fast as a mother would do or show. So my answer would be no fathers and mothers
have different ways interacting with an infant.
A hypothesis developed from
the research question I identified? A father does not change or clean the
infant and change the infant pamper easily as how the mother changes or clean
the infant better. As the author say in the research article Mothers and
Infants around the World: A Report of the Cross-Cultural Data Collection at
Five Months, Early maternal care is more common than paternal care, and
mothers and fathers do not share the same parenting investment
strategies. Cross-cultural surveys also attest to the central role that mothers
play in human infant development. For these reasons, theorists, researchers,
and clinicians of childrearing and child development have historically
concerned themselves primarily with mothering. Mothers participate in
childrearing activities at significantly higher rates than do fathers (or other
infant caregivers), and mothers generally have more opportunities to acquire
and practice skills that are central to infant caregiving than do fathers. On
average, mothers spend between 65 and 80 percent more time than fathers do in
direct one-to-one interaction with their babies. This is not to deny or
minimize the considerable contributions to infant care made by fathers and
other caregivers in and outside of the family.
One research question from the
list above that in my opinion does not lend itself to being stated in the form
of a hypothesis? Research Question 5: When a young child learns two languages
at the same time, does that create problems for learning any of the two
languages well?

A brief explanation why this
research question does not lend itself clearly to being stated in the form of a
hypothesis? Because its many Mexican mothers I have seen they don’t speak English
well at all. But their children can speak both Spanish and English language I
don’t see any problems for learning any two languages well. If I am going to
live somewhere at least I would need to understand what someone is trying to
say to me or do. I would want to know the meaning of what’s going on around me
how plus what’s good or not with any language I may be living around.
