A theoretical definition is a description of a concept or term that is based on abstract principles, theories, or ideas rather than empirical observations or practical applications. It provides a framework for understanding a concept within a specific theoretical context. In contrast to operational definitions, which outline how a concept can be measured or observed in practice, theoretical definitions emphasize the underlying concepts and assumptions that inform a particular field of study or discipline.
