Comment[edit source]

For the Frustration and anger, I see you have just lockdowns so far, It would be interesting from the anti-vaxxers point of view and also vice versa peoples frustration and anger towards the anti vaxxers. I imagine there is a lot of anger from both sides trying to cope (U3202710 (discusscontribs) = U3202710) 28/08, 21.06

Hello there, I enjoyed reading your chapter!, just a suggestion I know that you have included your takeaway points for your conclusion but I think it would be beneficial to also provide some practical takeaways in your conclusion which address each of your focus questions. Good luck! -U3202315 (discusscontribs) 18:30, 17 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Title[edit source]

  1. The title is correctly worded and formatted

User page[edit source]

  1. Fantastic - used effectively
  2. Description about self provided
  3. 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.
  4. Link provided to book chapter

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Excellent - the second contribution is summarised with direct link(s) to evidence - this provides a good model to follow

Headings[edit source]

  1. Excellent
  2. Well developed 2-level heading structure, with meaningful headings that directly relate to the core topic
  3. The Overview should not have sub-headings
  4. The key content is sections 3 to 5. There is a good chance you'll run into the maximum word count, so look to keep the content currently in sections 1 to 2 brief.

Key points[edit source]

  1. Avoid providing too much background information (e.g., about COVID-19). Briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal wiki links to other book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content of this chapter on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title.
  2. Overview - Consider adding:
    1. a description of the problem and what will be covered
    2. examples of the range of emotions people have experienced during the pandemic, such as through a case study
    3. focus questions
    4. an image
  3. For sections which include sub-section include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
  4. Key points are reasonably well developed for most sections, with relevant citations
  5. The content about emotions during the pandemic appears to be the current strength of this chapter
  6. Excellent focus on "solutions" - how to regulate emotion during the pandemic. Also consider exercise. And different forms of social contact.
  7. Strive to balance and integrate theory and research
  8. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  9. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. hasn't been developed
    2. what might the take-home, practical messages be?
    3. in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title?

Figure[edit source]

  1. Excellent
  2. A figure is presented
  3. Cite each figure at least once in the main text

References[edit source]

  1. Good
  2. OK
  3. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. capitalisation
    2. italicisation

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also
    1. Excellent
  2. External links
    1. Very good
    2. Consider whether there may be more targetted resources for this topic

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. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a very good chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.

Overview[edit source]

  1. Reasonable Overview.
  2. This focus question isn't needed: "*Why do we have emotions and what are the core psychological theories of emotion?" (too general). Concentrate on the COVID-specific impacts on emotion.
  3. Consider adding a case study or example to help engage reader interest.

Theory — Breadth[edit source]

  1. There is too much general theoretical material about basic theories of emotion, with insufficient application to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, summarise and link to further information (such as other book chapters or Wikipedia articles) and focus on the specific topic (i.e., the sub-title question). There appears to be little connection between sections 2 and 3. Perhaps rewrite this section to focus on cognitive appraisal theory?
  2. The previous comment aside, the chapter does an excellent job of explaining how a range of emotions, both positive and negative, have been impacted by COVID-19 and how these might be coped with.

Theory — Depth[edit source]

  1. Good depth is provided about the selected emotions.
  2. Key citations are well used.
  3. Tables and/or lists are used effectively to help clearly convey key theoretical information.
  4. Some useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts.

Research — Key findings[edit source]

  1. Overall, this chapter provides a reasonably good overview of relevant research.
  2. Some more depth/detail about key studies would be useful.
  3. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.

Research — Critical thinking[edit source]

  1. Critical thinking about research is basic.
  2. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. discussing the direction of relationships
    3. considering the strength of relationships
    4. suggesting specific directions for future research

Integration[edit source]

  1. Discussion of theory and research is reasonably well integrated.
  2. Where research is discussed, it is integrated with theory.

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. The Conclusion provides a good summary.
  2. Consider adding practical, take-home messages.

Written expression — Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is good to very good.
    2. 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.
    3. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
    4. "People" is often a better term than "individuals".
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
    2. Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections.
  3. Grammar, spelling, and proofreading are generally very good.
  4. APA style
    1. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    2. Figures and tables
      1. Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
      2. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text.
    3. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses.
    4. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[2]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation
      3. Include issue numbers

Written expression — Learning features[edit source]

  1. Overall, the use of learning features is very good.
  2. No external links are provided.
  3. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.
  4. Good use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters.
  5. Good use of image(s).
  6. No use of table(s) (table was presented as an image).
  7. Excellent use of feature box(es).
  8. Excellent use of quiz(zes).
  9. No use of case studies.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~32 logged, useful, mostly minor to moderate social contributions with direct links to evidence.
