Components of a Theory and Requirements of a “Good” Theory
Newman and Newman (2016) informed that scientific theories are “interconnected statements”
(p. 23), which include concepts, assumptions, and hypotheses. All of which explain “why” and
“how” phenomena occur. Core characteristics include logic and consistency, testable hypotheses,
and parsimonious theories; in other words, rather than citing six assumptions, which could
suggest a more complex explanation, consider using fewer premises without removing relevant
details; doing so would illustrate a parsimony theory (Newman & Newman, 2016).
Does Psychoanalytic Theory Meets the Expectations of a “Good” Theory as it Relates to
Creativity
Psychoanalytic theory is an explanation for the development and organization of personalities. In
other words, it is the primary foundation for psychoanalysis theories and treatment methods
(Milton, & Polmear, 2011; Russ, 2014). As Newman and Newman (2016) noted, theories
grounded in research address three core areas: the phenomenon under study including its
theoretical and conceptual foundations, its premises, and its predictions. Pretend play, for
example, is a therapeutic tool that is used to understand and to develop positive behaviors in
children. Likewise, research shows that elements of creativity ,such as originality,
resourcefulness, vision, and imagination, are interconnected constructs of pretend play; as such,
both concepts play major roles in the framework of psychoanalytic theory (Russ, 2014).
Explain Your Conclusion
Psychoanalytic is a theory of human development, which explains, among other factors, how
personalities and behaviors develop and change with time. Its origin dates to the works of
Sigmund Freud and Josef Breuer (Milton, & Polmear, 2011; Russ, 2014). As research shows, its
components are characteristic of a “good theory” as described by Newman and Newman (2016).

Components of a Theory

  • 1. Components of a Theory and Requirements of a “Good” Theory Newman and Newman (2016) informed that scientific theories are “interconnected statements” (p. 23), which include concepts, assumptions, and hypotheses. All of which explain “why” and “how” phenomena occur. Core characteristics include logic and consistency, testable hypotheses, and parsimonious theories; in other words, rather than citing six assumptions, which could suggest a more complex explanation, consider using fewer premises without removing relevant details; doing so would illustrate a parsimony theory (Newman & Newman, 2016). Does Psychoanalytic Theory Meets the Expectations of a “Good” Theory as it Relates to Creativity Psychoanalytic theory is an explanation for the development and organization of personalities. In other words, it is the primary foundation for psychoanalysis theories and treatment methods (Milton, & Polmear, 2011; Russ, 2014). As Newman and Newman (2016) noted, theories grounded in research address three core areas: the phenomenon under study including its theoretical and conceptual foundations, its premises, and its predictions. Pretend play, for example, is a therapeutic tool that is used to understand and to develop positive behaviors in children. Likewise, research shows that elements of creativity ,such as originality, resourcefulness, vision, and imagination, are interconnected constructs of pretend play; as such, both concepts play major roles in the framework of psychoanalytic theory (Russ, 2014). Explain Your Conclusion Psychoanalytic is a theory of human development, which explains, among other factors, how personalities and behaviors develop and change with time. Its origin dates to the works of Sigmund Freud and Josef Breuer (Milton, & Polmear, 2011; Russ, 2014). As research shows, its components are characteristic of a “good theory” as described by Newman and Newman (2016).
