Unit 2 Journal 1: Why Develop & Use Theories?



A theory will vary in the magnitude to which it has been developed and established. Features of theory, such as testability and observability are key. Testability is the application of hypothesis for feasibility; furthermore, the experience of the hypothesis is observed for replication and countermeasures. A good example of the impact of theories would be the scientific method. 

Social scientists develop different theories because no one person is the same; furthermore, theories are a method of problem-solving. When problem/issue presents itself, there’s usually more than one way to solve it. We use some form of problem-solving or conflict-resolution daily.
