Sociologists, psychologists, and economists have also had a hand in shaping the field of community development and community organizing. They have come up with ideas that are useful in the field of community change. For example, psychologists typically understand why people choose to take action, such as participating in a community event or volunteering.
Researchers often describe how a model--or a set of models--fits within a broader theory. For example, a model built to help determine the best time to water a lawn is more likely to be successful if the theory behind it is based on a sound theoretical framework. The fields of community development and community organizing have developed a broad set of theories that offer insight into how change can be effected and offers a framework for understanding and applying community models. For example, the field of community development has developed numerous theories such as community organizing, community action, and community development.
Historically, many community models have been based on the wrong assumptions and have been proven to be flawed, often after years of community intervention. In fact, some well-known models have been proven to be nothing more than a collection of special cases with minimal generalizability. When it comes to model building, the only true way to find out whether a model is right is to test it. Therefore, a realistic, evidence-based approach should be used when testing a model for the first time. Simply gathering data and then deploying the model is likely to lead to a false conclusion, because the evidence will not be reliable.
