Theories are essential to all knowledge forms, as they are essential to both the understanding of all phenomena, ranging from physical processes to social and political events. They are a set of interrelated assumptions that helps us to conceptually unify an observation or experience. For example, psychological theories explain why persons behave the way they do.
