What is a Theory?
A theory is a proposed answer or abstract representation concerning how two or more variables interact with each other.
Theories seek to take a complex, real-world issue and simplify it down to its essentials. The objective is to enable someone to understand the issue and any problems around it.
What is a Model?
A model is an applied (often empirical) representation that is used to test theories. The model seeks to demonstrate the function or effect of a scenario or occurrence.
