Abstract
The formalism of the exact six polarization modes of gravitational waves is constructed in terms of both the small metric perturbations and the Newman-Penrose scalars. The obtained formulae are applicable to any metric-compatible gravity theories whose gravitational waves propagate along either the null or non-null geodesics. Once a gravity theory, specifically its linearized wave equation, is written, comparison to the observed data of the laser interferometer experiments is direct.
