hypothesis
, ask the question that is to be the main focus; it usually includes independent and dependent

results
on the conclusion of the data collection, statistically identify the outcome; establish parameters
(level of significance) that will determine whether the data is relevant
evaluation
examine the results to determine the relevance of outcome data in answering the hypothesis;
determine the significance and identify the potential for future research
criteria for theory acceptance
-inclusiveness
-consistency
-accuracy
-relevance
-fruitfulness
-simplicity
inclusiveness
Does the theory include all concepts related to the area of interest?
consistency
Can the theory address new entities without having its founding assumptions changed?
