How does depression impact drug addiction?

I have done research and believe general strain theory is best for this theory section. I know instructions can seem overwhelming but they are just provided as help and guidelines by instructor.

THEORETICAL PROPOSITION AND CONCEPTUALIZATION

Make sure you have a formal theoretical proposition and conceptualization (define your concepts) and that this is obvious to the reader. (Otherwise this is a deduction on the final paper.) Jump right to your theoretical proposition rather than asking questions or presenting things we have already been made aware of in the paper. Get after how the theory you introduce eventually explains (through a process you describe) the specific behavior or phenomena your paper is about.

USE SOCIAL THEORY

Make sure you effectively incorporate a social science type theory. (Otherwise this is a deduction for this section.)

Do not just list a set of assumptions more so than an official criminological or social theory. Often our ideas are the BASIS of several theories, but not really one in and of itself for studying crime….go deeper here: (here are a few to try)

BE CAREFUL OF CIRCULAR REASONING

You will also want to not get into a circular reasoning argument – a logical fallacy in which the reasoner begins with what they are trying to end with. The components of a circular argument are often logically valid because if the premises are true, the conclusion must be true. Example:

"People who are depressed use marijuana, which perpetuates depression, which perpetuates marijuana use." (How do we untangle this?)

AVOID REPLICATING YOUR LITERATURE REVIEW

Remember this is a theory section. A theory is an overall explanation. You are explaining more of how the process works rather than what the research says about it….don’t skip anything and be "Captain Obvious" to not brush over any assumptions you might be making.

INTRODUCTORY COMMAS

Be sure to use commas after introductory phrases and words (where you would naturally pause briefly if reading it aloud, or change tone), for example:

“When research on juvenile delinquency was first conducted, studies largely focused on youth gang activity.”

“While episodes of anxiety occur throughout our lifespan, they become particularly problematic if they disrupt work and school obligations.”

PAST TENSE

Be sure to write your paper using past tense "this study analyzed" "this study found" "this study used" (I know it feels weird because you haven’t finished it yet, but at the end of the study, it will be a completed study so everything will be in past tense in the paper.). DON’T use “will” or “would”.

USE TRANSITIONS in your paragraphs to help the reader connect the ideas. This keeps the writing from being choppy and difficult to read. At times, the reader is left processing one idea while being pummeled by another and not given time to breathe. Give the reader a chance to digest what you just said.

Transitions wrap up the topic in the previous sentence and introduce the next topic in the upcoming sentence. (Like closing one door, and opening the next door. Otherwise the reader feels like they are walking into walls.)

THEORY DEVELOPMENT

Think about how someone could challenge your theory! How would you argue against it? Consider it’s weaknesses or the exceptions that might not fit. Could you preemptively strike first by anticipating the counter-arguments in advance? For example: — How would you defend this challenge in your theory? But don’t "oversell" how your theory could be wrong….this could introduce a weakness and undermine yourself.

What would you say to make your theoretical explanation more persuasive?

You want to make sure that your explanation is fully developed, convincing/persuasive, and connects variables in a clear and logical way.
