Theory
It is an explanation that offers to classify, organize, explain, predict, and/or understand the occurrence of specific phenomena. It has to make sense of reality or what is actually happening in a society.
Variables
The creation of variables and the development of a measurementinstrument to assess these variables are the main focus of operationalization. There are two types of variables: DEPENDENT and INDEPENDENT.
Dependent variables are factors the researcher has to control. They require other factors to influence and cause changes. Dependent variables are also predictable.
Independent variables are factors which will have influence on the dependent variable/s. Independent variables are also the variables expected on which cause the change or outcome of the dependent variables.
