Discussion: Theory Creation

A few weeks ago, you first looked at a sample mind map related to sibling needs in response to older sibling incarceration. In this Discussion, you will return to that mind map to try to find connections between concepts in order to draft a theory that works to explain those connections. Write a 200- to 300-word initial post: Review the Learning Resources and Course Announcement. Access the Sample Mind Map, which is the same sample from Week 5. Consider the connections between the concepts on the mind map. Review the mind map to find connections between the concepts. Consider possible reasons for these connections and draft a theory based on that discussion. Note that Discussions in the doctoral-level Human Services programs are areas for sharing ideas, reflecting on current research, and building community. Therefore, your grade, and the evaluation of your Discussion, will be based on the content and quality of your ideas. Note that APA style citations, references, and standard punctuation will not be assessed or graded. As a human services professional and doctoral student, you should always maintain a professional and academic tone. Please focus on shaping your ideas and supporting your claims with examples and research when applicable. However, every course has its own standards and requirements, so it is important to always check those requirements for each course and each assignment. Respond to all bullet points in the prompt. State the theory you drafted based on the connections between the concepts on the mind map.
