The relationship between theory and research, according to C . Wright Mills is "Theory without research is abstract and empty."

Answer 2

I believe the answer is: Theory without research is abstract and empty.

Theory is created from abstract thinking that we use to generalize the data at hand and use it as an Explanation for a certain occurence. Without research, theory is basically just personal opinion, without any form of empirical data to back it up.
