✔✔Steps to process of theory development - ✔✔1. concept development
2. statement development
3. theory construction
4. testing theoretical statements
5. application of theory to practice
✔✔concept development - ✔✔Process of theory development
specify, define, clarify the concepts used to describe phenomenon of interest
✔✔statement development - ✔✔process of theory development
formulate and analyze statements between concepts and their measurement
✔✔theory construction - ✔✔Process of Theory Development
structure and contextualize components of theory
✔✔application of theory to practice - ✔✔Process of Theory Development
research assesses how applied and usefulness
bringing concepts together
, ✔✔testing theoretical statements - ✔✔Process of Theory Development
validate theoretical relationships with testing
context on how the theory works
✔✔deductive reasoning - ✔✔the process of applying a general statement to specific
facts or situations
Deductive reasoning moves from generalized principles that are known to be true to a
true and specific conclusion. Broad to narrow.
ex. pain is contributing to patient's hypoventilation and reluctance to move
✔✔inductive reasoning - ✔✔reasoning from detailed facts to general principles
Inductive reasoning makes broad generalizations from specific observations. Basically,
there is data, then conclusions are drawn from the data. ... Even if all of the premises
are true in a statement, inductive reasoning allows for the conclusion to be false.
Narrow to broad
ex. conduct statistical polling to project what citizens consider important issues and then
develop a specific national platform
✔✔In the process of theory development the aspect in which structure and
contextualization of content occurs is labeled:
a. theory construction
b. concept development
c. statement development
d. application to practice - ✔✔theory construction
✔✔Going from general reasoning and applying it to specific situations is called:
ex. in class you learned that proper position could help with pain reduction so if you
reposition all patients fro comfort it should reduce their pain if done correctly.
A. inductive reasoning
B. deductive reasoning
C. conteplative reasoning
D. parsimony - ✔✔deductive reasoning
✔✔Theories are composed of all the following:
A. Concepts
B. propositions or relationship statements
