Toward a General Research Process for Using Dubin's Theory Building Model

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: Dubin developed a widely used methodology for theory building, which describes the components of the theory building process. Unfortunately, he does not define a research process for implementing his theory building model. This article proposes a seven-step general research process for implementing Dubin's theory building model. An example of a theory building process is used to explicate a research process that will aid new theorists and reviewers of theory in conceptualizing a rigorous and systematic process to implement Dubin's model.
