Rationale 2: The concepts should be clearly presented and their relationship should be clearly described.
Rationale 3: The last step in this critique is determining if the findings of the study support the framework chosen.
Rationale 4: The first step of this critique is identifying the framework if it exists.
Rationale 5: Appropriateness of the theory for the study is the next step.
Rationale 6: Once the concepts are identified and their relationship described, the researcher should offer operational definitions for the concepts.
