The nature of theory construction and theory testing in psychology generally.
In theory, testing works well.
Ensure a short stay in testing the waters (better yet, avoid it entirely): In theory, testing the waters is a great concept.
In theory, testing for these genes could allow women to make more informed choices about how often to undergo routine mammograms, for example, or, more radically, whether to take anticancer drugs like tamoxifen prophylactically.
AKs research interests are in Item Response Theory, Testing and Measurement and Bayesian applications in clinical research.
This research would involve three phases – a greater use of existing evolutionary theory; testing management options using experimental evolution; and 'field trials' under an adaptive management framework.
Latta (2008) suggests three means of implementing this vision: making greater use of existing evolutionary theory; testing management alternatives with experimental evolution; and conducting field trials under an adaptive management framework.
Introductory and intermediate topics include: defining research problems, theory testing, causal inference, probability and univariate statistics.
In this study, a structural equation model is used for theory testing and development.
We begin with a focus on defining research problems, theory testing, causal inference, and designing research instruments.
Traditional theory testing commonly applies cross-sectional (and occasionally longitudinal) survey research to test health behavior theory.
