Theory becomes more useful when you can specifically identify how a concept will be measured in practice. In this module, we will examine empirical indicators and operational definitions to make theory concepts useful. Use the theory that you developed in week two. Improve it by using the information you have obtained in the intervening weeks. Use the Conceptual - Theoretical - Empirical Model (CTE) to link the operational definitions with the empirical indicators with the theoretical concepts and the conceptual model components. Post your revised theory and explain how you would measure the concepts and proposition in a research study.
