Feedback:
Classically, theory is defined as an abstract generalization that explains how phenomena are interrelated. As classically defined, theories consist of concepts and a set of propositions that form a logically interrelated system, providing a mechanism for deducing hypotheses from the original propositions. Theories can also help to stimulate research by providing both direction and impetus. The research design and methods of data collection are directly related to the research problem and research question and are not primarily determined by the theory.
