using theories and making hypotheses

• Theories
  • to build science
  • to guide as a frame (what to look, how to think, and how to look at)
  • to explain phenomena
  • to predict phenomena (to provide a context for predictions)
  • Empirically relevant (testing) and always tentative (deductive cycle)
    • via research (hypothesis testing)
    • hence, not fixed
  • generalized statement regarding a connection between A and B (idea, concept, construct, phenomena, etc)
  • Levels ?
    • Micro . . . frustration and aggression
    • Meso . . . online communities and disinhibition
    • Macro . . . ethnicity (or socio-econ class) and family bond
  • role of T
    • 
• Research Questions (or Problems)
  • Two ideas guided by theories
  • Questions on their relationships
  • Conceptualization

• Hypothesis
  • Educated guess (via theories)
  • Difference
  • Association
  • Variables (vs. ideas, concepts, and constructs)
    • Operationalization
    • Types of Variable
      • IV
      • DV
      • Control variable
      • Mediating (Intervening) variable
