Theories
play a vitally important role in guiding research and organizing and
making sense of research findings. In spite of the great importance of
theory-building and theory testing within your field of specialization,
there is no generally accepted conception of what a theory is. Because
your dissertation must contribute to theory, you must have a clear
understanding of the variety of conceptions of theory, types of
theories, and ways of contributing to theory and be able to justify how,
exactly, your study contributes to theory.

 Part 1 Using
Gelso (2006), Harlow (2009), Stam, H. (2007, 2010), Wacker (1999), and
five additional peer-reviewed articles from your specialization, discuss
scholarly views on the nature and types of theory. Compare and contrast
at least three views of what constitutes a theory, including the view
you will use in Part 3 of this question. Be sure to distinguish theory
from related concepts, such as hypothesis, paradigm, model, and concept.

Part 2 Using Ellis & Levy (2008), Harlow, E. (2009),
and five additional peer-reviewed articles, review the scholarly
literature on the relationship between theory and research and the ways
research (quantitative and qualitative) can contribute to theory.
Discuss at least three ways research can contribute to theory.

(I have attached the documents that need to be read)

Part 3 Pick
a theory (in one of the views of what constitutes a theory that you
identified in Part 1) of current interest directly related to the topic
area of your dissertation. A theory is currently of interest if there
are articles published on it in the past five years. Using at least 10
published, peer-reviewed research articles:

1. Explain how the theory adds or may add to our understanding of your field and/or research topic.

 2.
Discuss and analyze the literature on two areas of controversy or
unanswered questions related to the theory. The structure of your paper
should be as follows:

Title page Body (12-15 pages, no more or
less; APA Style; use appropriate headings for organization of the paper)
References (APA Style)
