Does the theory let us predict behavior? Can we use it to predict trends in behavior or can we use it to predict an individual’s behavior?

Application
Can the theory be used to explain or change behavior?
Construct Validity
Are the concepts that make up the theory well defined? Are they observable and measurable?
Unbiased
Is the research ethnocentric (focused on an ethnicity)? Androcentric (focused on men)? Is the research on which the theory is based representative of a global population?
I think most of the experiment are biased. For example, the participants for Bartlett’s experiment is all British. At this point, it can’t represent a global population, because obviously there are many other ethnicity in the world. But the point of Bartlett’s experiment is that social and cultural factors can affect schema, which means he can’t find native American to hear the “War of Ghost.” So is this experiment biased? It’s hard to tell.
Empirical evidence
Is there research to support the theory? Is there research that contradicts or challenges the theory?
Testable
Is it possible to set up an experimental study to test the theory?
