Hi everyone,
My query is if you have 3 independent variables, 1 moderating variable and 1 dependent variable in your research framework.
Can you have;
1) Hypothesis formation on relationship between the independent variables?
2) Hypothesis formation on relationships between Independent variable and dependent variable through moderating variable?
3) Hypothesis formation on relationships between Independent variable directly with dependent variable?
And also,
4) what is the maximum number of Hypotheses allowed for PhD level?
1. Why do you want to hypothesise a relationship between the IVs? My query is if you have 3 independent variables, 1 moderating variable and 1 dependent variable in your research framework.

2. The moderating variable moderates the relationship between the IV and the DV. It's NOT an intervening variable.
3. Yes, u can. Eg. A has a positive relationship with B.
4. There is no maximum or minimum. Of course, common sense would tell you not to have too simple or too complicated framework.
