There are marked differences between authors' explanations of a theory. Moore, who criticized behaviorism by presenting various viewpoints from the branch of psychology, defined a theory as a provisional statement with the aim of postulating theoretical constructs that can account for past, current and future observations in order to invoke observable variables that operationally define behavior. theoretical constructs in theory (Moore, J., 2013). However, Wacker made three major criticisms of the theory or theories in general: they do not need to be applied, they do not provide significant improvements outside of a clinical setting, and the theory does not exist due to measurement lock in definitions. For the behaviorist, applying theory to evoke observable changes in the environment using precise operational definitions runs counter to general perceptions of the theory. Furthermore, Wacker noted that theories should be unique to retain current theories and that new theories should be superior so that they can be applied to more fields. Research contributions to
