A set of logically interrelated propositions is associated with which of the following?

C) Classical theory
D) Descriptive theory
C
Feedback:
In the classical use of theory, researchers test hypotheses deduced from an existing theory. An emerging trend is the testing of theory-based interventions. Concepts are also the basic elements of conceptual models, but concepts are not linked in a logically ordered, deductive system. Schematic models (or conceptual maps) are graphic representations of phenomena and their interrelationships using symbols or diagrams and a minimal use of words. Descriptive theory thoroughly describes a phenomenon.
