Concept: a term, researchers roughly agree what they mean. Define what you mean by the
terms in the paper. I.e., ‘work safety’ as concept, define what your definition is.
Three types of theory:
1. Descriptive theory: answers questions of what, how and where
2. Causal (explanatory) theory: a theory stating that changes in variable X causes
changes in variable Y
3. Normative theory: states what is right or wrong, desirable, or undesirable; should be
tested by research
Empirical research (argument): working with actual real-world data and facts; no
abstractions; exploration; description; explanation; expand existing knowledge
Theoretical argument: general principles of how things work; without reference to a
concrete case; develop a new theory; test an existing theory; reject a theory
Types of research purpose:
1. Research question: open question that presupposes a narrative answer
2. Hypothesis: narrow testable thesis about the influence of variable X on variable Y
(research aim: to confirm or reject the hypothesis)
3. Research aim: a statement about what the study aims to achieve that is neither a
research question nor a hypothesis
