The connection of phenomena through a loosely structured approach not directly linking them in a logically deductive manner is which of the following?
A) Middle range theory
B) Theoretical framework
C) Conceptual model
D) Research question
C
Feedback:
Conceptual models focus on abstracts and therefore are loosely structured, presenting an understanding of the phenomena and a philosophical view of the design. They do not link concepts in a logically derived deductive system. Middle-range theories, compared with grand theories, are more specific and more amenable to empirical testing. In a study based on a theory, the framework is called the theoretical framework. A research question specifically poses the research problem being studied, such as the following: Does hand washing reduce hospital-acquired infections?
