Give an example of how theory could inform research: - ANSWER-Theories are weeded
out through history. The good ones that help society stay while the others are forgotten.
These good theories are ones that researches go back to when they have new
questions or problems they want to solve. By using knowledge (or theories) that have
already been established as a base will give researchers a place to jump from instead
of starting from ground zero.
There are 3 major parts of theories: - ANSWER-Assumptions: non-tested, foundations
of a theory (beliefs that are taken for granted or believed to be true.)
, Concepts: the building blocks of a theory
Propositions: how the concepts of a theory affect one another (The relationships
between the concepts, the "glue" holding the theory together.)
Positivism: - ANSWER-Truth is truth and will always be. For example, someone may
really dislike gravity and try to defy it by jumping off a roof, but no matter how hard they
try that truth (gravity) cannot be overcome or changed.
