Explanations: an explanation is an answer to a why question. In science, investigators try to achieve two kinds of explanations: associations and theories: theories explain associations and usually contain a series of statements, some of which are unobservable. Associations usually simply state an observed relationship between two or more measured variables. Scientists derive predictions that should be true if the theory is correct. If the predictions are not supported, then either the theory is wrong or the rest of the theory is flawed. Overview of theoretical approaches: every social science discipline is informed by a set of theoretical orientations that give general ideas about how phenomena are to be explained.
