Is there a paper that explains the differences in more detail, which can be shared with us?

I am sure that others can offer more reasoned and substantiated explanations.
For me a major difference is at the level of abstraction. Mid range theories are further away from your study data than the demiregularities.
To illustrate, a midrange theory relating to Trust could explain the importance of the relationship between intermediaries such as Citizen Advice Bureau staff and their clients and, in a completely different study, between patients with unexplained medical symptoms and their GPs.
Demiregularities would explain how in a variety of advice offering settings Citizen Advice Bureau staff e.g. Housing support, employment advice and consumer advice the staff member first has to establish a climate of openness, followed by honest communication etc.
In my mind demiregularities relate to patterns that exist across different variations in context, population, intervention etc whereas mid range theories persist across substantively different contexts.
Be interested if others agree or explain differently.
Best wishes
Andrew

I would really appreciate peoples thoughts about the difference between demi-regularities and mid-range theories please. I am a part time PhD student and I’m getting myself all confused, what separates the two, when can a demi-regularity be actually considered a mid-range theory? Sorry if people have answered this before, looked from my Rameses emails and can’t seem to find a similar question. Thank you so much, I’ve hit a brick way!
