Heading casing[edit source]

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings (or sentence casing). For example, use:

==Cats and dogs==

rather than

==Cats and Dogs==

Journal article[edit source]

Hello, I found the following article on EBSCO which might interest you...

Sandoz, E., Moyer, D., & Armelie, A. (2015). Psychological Flexibility as a Framework for Understanding and Improving Family Reintegration Following Military Deployment. Journal Of Marital And Family Therapy, 41, 495-507. https://doi:10.1111/jmft.12086 It talks about psychological flexibility, emotion and family coherence during difficult times.

I like your use of heading and subheadings. Your page is really well organised.

Topic development feedback[edit source]

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.

Title and sub-title[edit source]

  1. Very good

User page[edit source]

  1. Created, with description about self and link to book chapter

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. None summarised with links to evidence

Section headings[edit source]

  1. Basic, 2-level heading structure - could benefit from further development
  2. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an overview paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
  3. 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.
  4. See early comment about heading capitalisation

Key points[edit source]

  1. Overview - consider also including a case study of someone who moves from low to high or high to low social support (e.g, case study 1 and 2 could be the same case?)
  2. Expand content about SS and emotion; reduce content about SS and emotion as stand-alone concepts.
  3. Consider what emotions does SS seem to best encourage?
  4. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles.
  5. Consider embedding one quiz question per major section rather than having one longer quiz towards the end.

Image[edit source]

  1. Provided, with an APA style caption
  2. Cite each figure at least once in the main text.

References[edit source]

  1. Very good.
  2. For full APA style:
    1. Capitalise the first letter of article sub-titles

Resources[edit source]

  1. Excellent

Heading structure[edit source]

Note that if using sub-headings, use 2 or more (i.e., do not have a section with only 1 sub-heading). Sincerely, -- Jtneill - Talk - c 05:06, 16 October 2019 (UTC)Reply


Chapter review and feedback[edit source]

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.

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a strong chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. The chapter could benefit from being streamlined to get closer to the 4,000 word target. For example, there are some very long paragraphs and too much background theory about emotion.
  3. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained.
  2. Reduce the amount of general theoretical material (e.g., about emotion). Instead, summarise and link to further information, to allow this chapter to focus on the specific topic (i.e., the sub-title question). This will get the chapter closer to the 4,000 word max. target.
  3. Perhaps consider connecting social support to self-determination theory / basic psychological needs (relatedness).

Research[edit source]

  1. Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.
  2. 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.
  3. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned").
    2. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
    3. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good.
    4. The chapter benefited from a well developed Overview and Conclusion, with clear focus question(s) and take-home messages.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
  3. Learning features
    1. Excellent use of interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. ## No use of embedded links to related book chapters. Embedding interwiki links links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
    2. Basic use of images.
    3. No use of tables.
    4. Very good use of feature boxes. Some of the widths should be increased to improve readability.
    5. Basic use of quizzes.
    6. Excellent use of case studies or examples.
  4. Grammar
    1. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[1].
    2. Abbreviations
      1. Abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.) should only be used inside parentheses.
      2. Check and correct grammatical formatting for abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.).
  5. APA style
    1. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. In-text citations should be in alphabetical order.
    2. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Capitalise the first letter of sub-titles.
      2. See new doi format.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~4 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence
