 Theory and The Review of the
Related Literature
• 1. As soon as you have chosen a topic for
your thesis or dissertation, you should look
for the theory linking your topic with an
available body of knowledge.
• 2. Kerlinger (1973) defines theory as “a
set of interrelated constructs (concepts),
definitions, and propositions that presents
a systematic view of phenomena by
• By specifying relations among variables,
with the purpose of explaining and
predicting the phenomena.”
• 3. In search of the theory, you gather
information mostly from the related
literature.
• Durkheim’s work on egoistic suicide
• His theoretical statement says that:
• “a higher degree of individualism in a
social group cause a higher rate of suicide
in that group.” We can illustrate it this way
:

Independent Dependent
Individualism Suicide
• Conceptual Framework:
• Individualism in Durkheim’s study was broken down into
more concrete concepts, although in a quite different
way. He linked with the characteristics of his
respondents and from there made his prediction as to
who are in the more Individualistic social situation. His
conceptual Framework may be illustrated this way

Independent Intervening Dependent

Single
Protestant Individualism Suicide
Highly educated
Professionals
• Those below are some functions of the
theory.
• A. It provides the study with a conceptual
framework, justifying the need for
investigation
• B. It leads you into the specific questions
to ask in your own investigation.
• C. It presents the relationship among
variables that have been investigated.
• 5. The review of related literature involves
the systematic identification, location, and
analysis of documents containing
information related to the research
problem.
• 6. The review of the related literature
performs some functions that are
indicated below.
• A. It provides the conceptual or
theoretical framework of the planned
research.
• B. It provides you with the information
about past researches related to the
intended study.
• C. It give you a feeling of confidence since
by means of the review of related literature
you will have on hand all constructs
related to your study.
• D. It gives you information about the
research methods used, the population
and sampling considered, the instruments
used in gathering the data and the
statistical computation in previous
research.
• E. It provides findings and conclusions of
past investigations which you may relate
to your own findings and conclusions.
• 7. Research literature refers to published
or unpublished reports of actual research
studies done previously.
• 8. Conceptual literature pertains to articles
or books written by authorities giving their
opinions, experiences, theories or ideas of
what is good and bad, desirable and
desirable within the problem area.
• 9. The library is usually the source of both
conceptual and research literature.
• 10. A good tip for you is to be ready to
spend the whole day or even day in a
library. Flitting visits to libraries will not
give you beneficial results.
• 11. Fox(2004) suggests that you start
reviewing conceptual literature first since it
is more readily available than research
literature.
• 12. The card catalog is to a library as the
index is to a book. However, there are
varied of indexes that can help you get
access to information.
• 13. Theses and dissertations, as well as
abstracts, are other sources of the
literature.
