Both of these areas correlate in studying humans to the…

Gelso (2006) explains that the nature of a theory is a statement about a topic that shows a relationship between two variables. The role of a theory within a research should contribute to a study that shows how two or more variables relates, which have not yet been discovered, or at least provide further analysis of previous studies.
