Question

which scenario is an example of a grand theory?

○ clarifying concepts developed to explain a phenomenon

○ attempting to explain all aspects of how and why people interact with technology

○ predicting how some users will respond to a new information system

○ explaining how people adjust to change in a healthcare delivery system

Explanation:

A grand theory aims to explain a broad, complex phenomenon comprehensively.

• The first option is about clarifying concepts, not explaining a broad phenomenon.
• The second option, "Attempting to explain all aspects of how and why people interact with technology", fits as it seeks to explain a wide - ranging phenomenon (human - technology interaction) in all its aspects, which is characteristic of a grand theory.
• The third option is about predicting a specific group's response, which is more narrow.
• The fourth option focuses on a specific context (healthcare delivery system change), not a broad, all - encompassing phenomenon.

Answer:

B. Attempting to explain all aspects of how and why people interact with technology
