Welcome to the world of academic writing. Please use the Castille, Buckner, and Thoroughgood (2018) article and the Bachrach (1989) article to address the following questions.
- Using the diagram of a theory provided in the Bachrach (1989, p. 499) article, clearly identify the Castille et al. (2018) article’s constructs, propositions, and theory boundary(ies). (See Figure 1, Components of a theory).
- What does the term operationalize mean? How were the Castille et al. (2018) constructs, propositions, and theory boundary(ies) operationalized?
- How were (Castille et al.’s (2018) hypotheses tested? Do the tests of hypothesizes appear to be appropriate?
- What were the research’s findings? Are the findings generalizable?
