Answer to Question 2
The relationship between theory and research has been referred to as a
continuous cycle. A theory is a set of logically interrelated statements that
attempts to describe, explain, and predict social events. A theory
attempts to explain why something is the way it is. Research is the
process of systematically collecting information for the purpose of testing
an existing theory or generating a new one. The theory and research
cycle consists of deductive and inductive approaches. In the deductive
approach, the researcher begins with a theory and uses research to test
the theory. This approach proceeds as follows: (1) theories generate
hypotheses, (2) hypotheses lead to observations (data gathering), (3)
observations lead to the formation of generalizations, and (4)
generalizations are used to support the theory, to suggest modifications
to it, or to refute it. In the inductive approach, the researcher collects
information or data (facts or evidence) and then generates theories from
the analysis of that data. This approach proceeds as follows: (1) specific
observations suggest generalizations, (2) generalizations produce a
tentative theory, (3) the theory is tested through the formation of
hypotheses, and (4) hypotheses may provide suggestions for additional
observations.
