theoretical framework

The primary difference between a and a conceptual framework lies in their scope and origin. A theoretical framework is rooted in established, pre-existing theories that have already been validated by other scholars. In contrast, a conceptual framework is the researcher's own construction , often visualized as a map or model of how specific variables in a unique study interact.
