Instructor feedback for draft
The draft is a good start. It was a little difficult to determine what revisions were yours because they were not in a different font as described in the instructions.

It seems like the introduction could use some additional revising. The first sentence, for example, is misleading because it is a better description of social exchange theory than interdependence theory. The equation is fine to include in the introduction but the symbols should have the full word next to the symbol.

The principle of structure section is a nice contribution to this article and it seems like it is a large portion of your contribution to the existing article. The dimensions are described clearly and concisely. I think you could add a brief example of what each of these dimensions looks like in everyday life. Also, make sure to use proper APA style. The quotes in the temporal structure section need page numbers.

The principles of transformation (rewards and costs, emotional, social, instrumental, opportunity) and interaction in the sub-sections of outcomes, comparison level, and comparison level for alternatives are nearly the same as the original article. You have improved the organization and the brief introduction to the overarching principle which is good, but the sections mentioned above are presented as your own contributions in your sandbox rather than identifying that it was copied from the original article. The "outcome transformation" section could use some elaboration as well.

The principle of adaptation section could be expanded a bit and adding a real-life example would be helpful. The related theories section is helpful. I think this article would benefit from a section about applications whether it be how the theory has been used in relational communication research and how it can be practically applied.

Remember to use proper APA style in your References section. Also use the Wikipedia reference list and "cite" tools to clean up the "References" section. For example, the citation for the "Close Encounters" textbook is not in correct APA format and it should only be one citation as opposed to four citations (#9-12).
