Assumptions and generalizations in research refer to the ideas or beliefs that researchers adopt or make about a population or phenomenon based on limited evidence or incomplete knowledge. They serve as foundational elements allowing researchers to form hypotheses and draw conclusions, but can also introduce biases and limitations to the study's findings.
