* A conceptual or theoretical framework/model is a representation of a concept and the relationships between this concept and other variables that might impact it or be affected by it. It provides structure to a study and a rationale for the different relationships between the variables. Not every study has to have a conceptual or theoretical framework clearly outlined. The better research questions are usually the ones informed by theory and a corresponding framework. For an example, check the following article:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3934012/

** The validity of a study, in contrast to the validity of measurements, is the degree to which study results are accurate and well-founded, when account is taken of study methods, representativeness of study sample, and nature of the population from which it is drawn.

· Internal validity (results are attributed to hypothesized effect and not sample differences)

· External validity (generalizability)
