Social psychological theories differ based on specific characteristics,these include scope,range,testability,and parsimony.Explain each characteristic in detail.

1.Scope-As described in the text,the scope of a theory refers to the number of different human behaviors that the theory attempts to explain.For example,social psychology has been influenced by many different perspectives,such as the behaviorist perspective,psychoanalytic perspective,and phenomenological perspective.
2.Range-Refers to whether a theory predicts the behaviors of only a specific group of people or all humans.
3.Testability-Testability refers to the idea that a good theory is capable of being refuted or disproved.
4.Parsimony-The term parsimony,in the context of psychological theories,has to do with a reliance on the fewest possible propositions to explain the phenomenon in question.A theory should be parsimonious in that it should be easily explained.
