Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Breaking bad habits

Topic suggestion

Hi, I think your chapter is very well written and thorough. However I think a good topic to research would be how learned behaviour creates bad habits. For instance my mother drinks a lot of coca-cola which I always observed. This lead me to drink a lot of coca-cola as I didn't realise it was a bad habit. I think there would be lots of similar situations like that.

Heading casing

Hi Pelleot. FYI, the recommended Wikiversity heading style uses sentence casing. For example: Self-determination theory rather than Self-Determination Theory Here's an example chapter with correct heading casing: Growth mindset development ~~~~

The topic development submission has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is below, plus see the general feedback page. Please also check the page history for changes made whilst reviewing the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Marks are available via UCLearn. Marks are based on the latest version before the due date.

1. Title The title and/or sub-title were not correctly worded and/or formatted (fixed) 2. Headings See earlier comment about Heading casing Basic, 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development (expand) Adopt closer alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings Aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Overview and Conclusion, with up to a similar number of sub-headings for large sections The Overview and Conclusion should not have sub-headings 3. Overview Move the scenario or case study into a feature box (with an image) to the start of this section to help catch reader interest A description of the problem/topic is provided The description overall is too long; move detail into subsequent sections Focus questions look like unacknowledged genAI-generated content; too broad; lacks specificity and understanding of topic 4. Key points Some promising development of key points for each section The topic hasn't been well understood (read the sub-title more closely e.g., doesn't refer to emotion) Insufficient evidence of citation Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples It is doubtful whether the best available psychological theory and research has been consulted in the preparation of this plan Use APA style 7th edition for citations with three or more authors (i.e., FirstAuthor et al., year) Avoid overcapitalisation (APA style) – more info Is this genAI content? If so, it needs to be acknowledged as such in the edit summaries, otherwise it violates academic integrity. Conclusion (the most important section): Underway What might the take-home, practical messages be? (What are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?) 5. Figure Cite each figure at least once in the main text using APA style (e.g., see Figure 1) Consider increasing image size from to make it easier to view Consider decreasing image size to make it less dominant in relation to the text Well done on creating and uploading your own image! – this can also be listed as a social contribution 6. Learning feature Excellent use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters Excellent use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies Promising use of quiz question(s) Also consider using one or more tables to summarise key information 7. References Insufficient Are there any systematic reviews about this topic? Only include references which have been accessed and read Move non-academic / non-peer reviewed sources to External links All references need to be cited in the text Check and correct APA referencing style: capitalisation include all dois Remember that the goal is to identify and use the best academic theory and research about this topic 8. Resources See also One of two link types provided Also link to relevant Wikipedia pages External links Excellent 9. User page Basic – minimal, but sufficient Brief description about self – consider expanding Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks. A link to the book chapter is provided 10. Social contribution One out of three types of contributions made with with direct link(s) to evidence. The other types of contribution are making: comments on the talk pages of other chapters (past or current) posts about the unit or project on other platforms such as the UCLearn discussion forum or on X using the #emot24

Suggestions for chapter enhancement

Hi,

Your chapter structure is very clear and readable. I like how you have referenced many external links, making it easy to find relatable information.

I was curious if you have citations for the information provided and whether you plan to include references throughout the body of your chapter?

Would you also consider using more figures and images to make the chapter more visually engaging?

Your quiz is looking great so far! I was wondering if you might consider making it a bit more lighthearted and perhaps base it on a case study to engage the reader. This approach could feel more inviting than an exam-style format, which might otherwise discourage participation.

Best of luck! Danikollas (discuss • contribs) 06:37, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Book chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient chapter Insufficient use of primary, peer-reviewed sources as citations There are many places which could make better use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Some citations are not included in the References Some References are not used as citations Move embedded external links into the References section as dois and provide APA style citations Move non-peer reviewed links into the external links section Under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Well developed Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon Clear focus questions Theory An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Builds effectively on related chapters and Wikipedia articles Insightful depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Basic use of tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) If you didn't consult an original source , cite it as a secondary source Basic use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Insufficient review of relevant research More detail about key studies would be ideal Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Insufficient critical thinking about relevant research is evident Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies discussing the direction of relationships considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) Integration Insufficient integration between theory and research The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research; strive for an integrated balance Conclusion Basic summary and conclusion Address the focus questions Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very goodc Develop some of the bullet points into full sentences and paragraphs Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes Layout The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections Grammar The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags) Proofreading Remove unnecessary capitalisation APA style Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc. Use serial commas[2]. Video (1 min) Figures Figures are reasonably well captioned Use this format for figure captions: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example Most but not all figures are referred to at least once within the main text Citations use excellent APA style (7th ed.) References use basic APA style: Use hanging indent (fixed) Make hyperlinks active (fixed) Check and correct use of capitalisation[3] Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section Learning features Good use of learning features Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles Reasonably good use of image(s) No use of table(s) Basic use of feature box(es) Basic use of case studies or examples Excellent use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Also include links to related Wikipedia articles One use of external links in the "External links" section Social contribution ~8 logged, useful moderate social contributions with direct links to evidence Contributions from the chapter page were moved to the user page
