Independent study query: all my three hypothesis statements cannot be rejected. The p-values are not smaller than the alpha values of 5%. What should I do?
Suggestion 1: try to tune, refine or modify your formula, e.g. including 1 or 2 additional control variables. You could consider to increase sample size (anyway, it is just another exploratory test). You may in this case offer another formula for testing, while serving the same research objective.
Suggestion 2: try to provide supplementary research tasks, e.g. Excel charts on the data to see if you could find out something new and interesting for analysis.
Suggestion 3: do more literature review and secondary data analysis (including studying local news to understand the current situation more) to deepen and enhance your data analysis quality.
Suggestion 4: acknowledge the limitations of your existing research methods, thus explaining why the hypothesis statements might not be rejected (i.e. not be able to agree with findings from other academic literature). For example, the time, place and samples are different from that of other academic literature; also there are limitations of the correlation analysis per se, etc.
