Hey! I really have a question about the theories. Why so many theories rather than just one telling us what to do and how to do?

I have a similar feeling. A limitation of all current theories is that we do not have a complete theory covering human beings’ social life but only views from various perspectives. In other words, different theories focus on different aspects. Each theorist concentrates on different factors, even within the same area. It is important to understand the different perspectives offered and recognize that different theories (explanations) may suggest different types of intervention. It is essential to understand the limitations of the theory and also its potential ‘range of convenience.’ Finally, we will see how the different theories address the same phenomena in ways that have some things in common.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?

I have designed a large-scale survey about the life satisfaction of low-income families in Hong Kong. Is it appropriate to use the electronic survey through mobile phones?
