Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2022/Wave metaphor for emotion
Heading casing[edit source]
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 -- Jtneill - Talk - c 11:08, 2 October 2022 (UTC) |
Suggestions for this chapter[edit source]
Hello! The book chapter is looking good so far. Something I suggest is to use hyperlinks to relevant concepts and theories. An example of this would be the James-Lange theory you discuss. Linking this to another book chapter or wikipedia page could be useful. Also using case study boxes and example boxes could help your reader understand the theories better and it is a more interactive and fun feature to enhance the chapter overall. Hope this helps!

- Hey, @U3216389! There is a section named What is the difference between emotions, feelings and moods. It's said in there: "Feelings occur from emotional experiences." In my opinion, that's strongly incomplete claim. At least it may be misleading.
- On one day I experience many feelings more or less simultaneously. For example, I feel hunger, I feel a boot rubbing my foot, it's not that painful, bearable. But at the same time I feel unusually fresh air. I feel connection to a community I belong to, almost not conscientiously, and I feel injustice in little more extent for some reason. Moreover, it is likely that myriads of signals from peripheral nervous system may give birth to many other feelings that I don't care. Right?
- So here, the sum of these feeling makes my mood.
- To call a reaction (emotion) I need an event (doesn't matter outer -- something that I saw, or inner -- something that I imagined). For example, I imagine I support friends, and at a required level of being lost in thoughts, I may experience joy, and I will smile not on purpose, signaling to those around me about my readiness to interact. But suddenly, I see guys bullying a weak boy. I experience anger, that would rise my heartbeat rate preparing me to fight.
- These are emotions.
- Of course, experiencing emotions evokes feelings too. So yes, you may say: "Feelings occur from emotional experiences." But would that show the the difference between emotions, feelings and mood? Tosha Langue (discuss • contribs) 13:33, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
Jamieepiper, Jtneill, excuse me, but I'm still not satisfied with the chapter, with the case study in particular. As far as I know, negative emotions, in general, serve to drive a creature out a threatening situation, but sometimes the creature falls in stupor (however, this is a risky tactics, as well). As I understood, emotions of Sophie encourage her to actions, but in this case she is taught to wait the emotions pass. It is against the natural flow of things, I think. Okay, lets assume that an emotion is a metaphoric wave, then visualized 'riding the wave' is the same metaphor. But it must be a skill, as it is in real life. It is better to teach Sophie to take rational actions at will, at the middle of emotion manifestation. Sometime I came across an exercise proposed by George Leonard in his book Mastery:
“ | Have someone stand silently behind you. With eyes open, balance and center yourself. When you're ready, hold your arms out to the sides at forty-five degree angles. This is the signal for the person behind you to quietly walk up and grab one of your wrists with just enough impact to startle you; that is, to simulate an unexpected blow. Don't struggle against the grab or try to pretend you weren't upset. Instead, become fully aware of just how the grab affected you. Describe it aloud, as specifically as possible. (For example, "My heart seemed to jump up into my throat" or "My eyes blinked and something like an electric current seemed to shoot up my left arm.") As your partner continues to hold your wrist firmly, go on describing your sensations. Hold nothing back; it's important here and in the case of real blows to face your situation squarely, and to experience and acknowledge your feelings about it.[1] | ” |
It is simple enough, and it would be simple for Sophie to start with something like that.

Book chapter resubmission feedback[edit source]
These changes were reviewed. I made these additional copyedits, plus see these comments:
- Approximately 1600 words have been added; the chapter is now approximately 400 words over the maximum word count. Therefore, the references have been ignored for marking purposes.
- Overview is considerably improved
- Dot points have been expanded into sentences and paragraphs
- A case study has been added
- Images have been added
- Focus questions remain underdeveloped
- Theory: Some general emotion theory content is added, with some basic applicability to the wave metaphor
- Research
- No additional review of research. The main issue remains that there is little to no review of research.
- The chapter remains overly-reliant on non-peer-reviewed sources such as webpages
- Style
- An introductory sentence is now provided before branching into subsections
- Some minor grammar fixes are made. Some new grammatical errors have been introduced.
- Some citations have been added. Do not include author initials in citations (APA style) - I've removed these. Some of the newly added content needs citations added.
- I've changed the double-spaces to single spaces (per APA style)
- Use serial commas per APA style
- Conclusion has been expanded and improved
- Learning features
- Several images have been added
- One interwiki link has been embedded
- Some see also links added
- References are a mess (not APA style)
- External links are a mess
- No social contributions
