Grounded Theory, Feminist Theory, Critical Theory
Advances in Nursing Science, 2003Nursing and social science scholars have examined the compatibility between feminist and grounded theory traditions in scientific knowledge generation, concluding that they are complementary, yet not without certain tensions.

Modeling agents with a theory of mind: Theory–theory versus simulation theory [PDF]
Web Intelligence and Agent Systems: An International Journal, 2012 Virtual training systems with intelligent agents provide an effective means to train people for complex, dynamic tasks like crisis management or firefighting.

The notion of “theory” probably has a more uncertain meaning in the social sciences and sociology in particular than in other disciplines. As far back as the early 1950s, in a passage in Social Theory and Social Structure, R. K. Merton2 pointed out that the word theory was being used by sociologists in seven different ways, only one of which was ...

Food Policy, 1982
Abstract An important aspect of the milk and dairy industry in the European Community is the reaction of milk producers to milk prices. In theory farmers behave like the economic man of basic economic textbooks. In practice, farmers behave quite differently, ie they increase their production when prices fall.

Theory, Ideal Theory and the Theory of Ideals
Political Studies Review, 2012The recent prominence of the ideal/non-ideal debate is largely due to the fact that it offers a vocabulary in which to diagnose what many see as a key problem of political theory: its relative unwillingness to provide solutions to urgent problems facing people here and now; or for people as they are rather than as they should be.

Demand theory describes and explains individual choice of consumption bundles. Traditional theory considers optimizing behaviour when the consumer's choice is restricted to consumption bundles that satisfy a budget constraint. The budget constraint is determined by price–income pairs.

Theory, post-theory, and aetonormative theory
Neohelicon, 2009Heterology, or discourse on the Other, encompasses a number of theories dealing with unequal power positions in real life as well as in literature.

Theory Theories and DAM Theories
2003AbstractChildhood essentialism has implications for theories on cognitive development. There is wide-ranging evidence for what may be called “early competence”. Preschool children appear to be surprisingly skilled: they attend to nonobvious properties, search for underlying causes, draw systematic category-based inferences, and so forth.
