Hi, your topic sounds really interesting! Although you may need to add more info in some sections, I liked the table you included of the big 5 and how straightforward it is. Good luck on your book chapter!

Journal article and research recommendation[edit source]

An area of research you could mention is personality tests for employment. Interesting and controversial topic. If you research that here's an article I have used for my book chapter I found on EBSCO which goes into psychological flexibility in the workplace.

This may also be of interest:

The topic development 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 the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.
Well developed 2-level heading structure, with meaningful headings that directly relate to the core topic. However, avoid providing too much background information. Instead, briefly summarise generic concepts and provide internal wiki links to further information. Then the focus of most of the content can be on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title.
Sections which include sub-sections should also include an overview paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.

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. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via UCLearn Canvas, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.
There is too much general theoretical material. Instead, summarise and link to further information (such as other book chapters or Wikipedia articles), to allow this chapter to focus on the specific topic (i.e., the sub-title question).
The Burger (2015) textbook is overused as a citation - instead, utilise primary, peer-reviewed sources.
Reeve (2009) is cited; but Reeve (2018) is referenced.
Overall, this chapter provides a basic overview of relevant research.
When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
Layout
For numbered lists, use Wikiversity formatting per Tutorial 1.
Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
Learning features
Basic use of embedded interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.
No use of embedded links to related book chapters. Embedding links links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
Basic use of images.
No use of tables.
No use of feature boxes.
Good use of quizzes.
The quiz questions could be more effective by focusing on the relationship between personality and emotion.
Some use of case studies or examples.
Grammar
The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Canvas site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.
The presentation lacks sufficient focus on the topic (personality and emotion; there is only about one minute of content about the topic and it is not addressed until ~01:45).
An appropriate amount of content is presented - not too much or too little.
The presentation is well structured.
Add and narrate an Overview slide (e.g., with focus questions), to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered.
A Conclusion slide is presented with a take-home message(s).
What are the practical take-home message(s) that we can use to help improve our everyday lives?
The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages.
There is too much content, in too much detail, presented within the allocated time frame. Zoom out and provide a higher-level presentation at a slower pace. It is best to do a small amount well than a large amount poorly.
The presentation is fun, easy to follow, and interesting to watch and listen to.
The presentation makes effective use of text and image based slides with narrated audio.
Well paced. Excellent pauses between sentences. This helps the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
Consider slowing down and leaving longer pauses between sentences. This can help the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
Excellent/Consider using greater intonation to enhance listener interest and engagement.
The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read.
Some of the font size should be larger to make it easier to read.
The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images.
The visual communication could be improved by including some relevant images.
