Comments

Hi, I think this has come along really well and that you have covered a very difficult topic really well. So interesting and quite subjective in nature so well done for being about to piece together literature on the topic. U116040 25 October

Hi a few thoughts, A way of looking at exploration or further examination might be to visit a site that is considered haunted for themselves haunted hot-spot- http://www.news.com.au/travel/australian-holidays/eight-of-the-scariest-haunted-places-in-australia/story-e6frfq89-1226749844692

It might be a good idea to define 'dualistic' at you use this alot and it wont necessarily be obvious to the lay person what this means.

The theory makes me think of schrodinger's cat, not sure if you can use this as a lay example or not.

Also you could touch on the celebration of the believe of life after death. Halloween and Day of the Dead. Cheers U116040 24 October

Hi, Just wanted to suggest looking at personality types that are more likely to believe in life after death and also perhaps suggest the ideas individuals have about life after death are also influence by age teenagers and Elderly may have very different points on view on what it constitutes. Teenagers think occult and ouija board but elderly view it more restful. something to look at maybe. Cheers U116040

Hey just wanted to suggest maybe looking at different religions and motivation behind them like buddhism and christians. it be interesting to see the differences between the views. All the best ~Iga.leszczynska

Hi there, I really like the structure of your book chapter - it flows really well. The one thing I did notice is that the two pictures on the right side look a bit strange because they appear to be divided up by the table of contents. Other than that it looks great and I look forward to reading more as you upload more content. --U3096823 (discuss • contribs) 09:44, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Hey, this chapter looks like it will be really interesting, i second the thought for including how different religions view life after death, maybe including how some religions view heaven and hell. So far your layout looks really good, good luck finishing up.

Terror Management theory

Hi there! Love where you are going with this page, such an interesting topic!! there are quite a few youtube clips out there on theories of life after death. I found a great one on the terror management theory- this Youtube clip goes for almost an hour but it is about the psychology side of the theory and has some great studies in it that test behavioural change etc, definitely worth a watch Youtube clip Good luck with it all, your doing great :) --U3098499 (discuss • contribs) 12:51, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Great contextual opening vignette which could be benefited by an info box as it would differentiate it from the overview and beginning. Also have you come across Humanistic Existentialism theories in your research? I think they could help provide theoretical background for this. Also the pessimistic concepts by Freud and his opinions on religion? Looks great though, nice pictures :) Ccgmjb (discuss • contribs) 05:34, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Freud's theory on religion

Hey, I'm liking your chapter so far, good topic choice, it looks like it would be really interesting! Have you looked into different psychologists and their views on religion. I know Sigmund Freud has an interesting take on religion and why humans 'need' god and religion. It could be useful to incorporate his views.

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.

Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer.

Overall Overall, this is an excellent chapter which makes effective use of the wiki environment and provides an integrated, indepth, readable synthesis of psychological theory and research on the topic. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Theory Theory is particularly well covered, with a well-selected emphasis on a couple of key theories. The case studies in the Overview were helpful. Research Research is well cited and explained. Research could be better summarised in the Conclusion. Report effect sizes. Written expression Written expression is generally excellent. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences. Layout is excellent. Add bullet-points for See also and External links. Some of the overly fancy layout was simplified. Tables and/or Figures are used effectively - but include APA style captions. Learning features Some links to Wikipedia and/or Wikiversity articles were added as external links - more could be added and the links should be changed to interwiki links Spelling, grammar, and proofreading are excellent. APA style Italicise Figure X. Check APA style for six or more authors. The APA style for the reference list is excellent.

If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is an wonderful, all-round presentation. Structure and content Well structured. Theory was well covered; perhaps more the key research studies (at least citations) could also be incorporated. Great use of questions, images and examples - this all contributed to an engaging presentation. Include citations about evidence for claims. Communication Audio is well-paced. Visuals are clear and easy to read, without being too text-heavy. The combination of images and text is very effective. Production quality Overall, very well produced. Audio quality was very slightly muffled - check microphone setup - very minor issue. Clear, descriptive title. Excellent use of the description field. Excellent licensing. Ideally, include all individual image attributions. Overall, a great complement to an excellent chapter.

Body-self dualism

I don't know who wrote this, but they have the point of my article all wrong. I (K. Mitch Hodge) argue that afterlife beliefs, cross-culturally, are not dualistic. (The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.42.77.221 (talk • contribs) 16 October 2018‎)
