Definition

  • In many sciences, one learns about the nature of things through classification systems (e.g., Mendelov's Table) and, subsequently, sees patterns among various elements and formulates hypotheses about tendencies. Developing good descriptive systems serve as a "launching pad" of theory creation. [Source: Encyclopedia of Substance Abuse Prevention, Treatment, & Recovery; Prevention Populations]
