Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2011/Facial expression

Comments

Hey, getting my information up slowly! Haven't done much coding/spruced up the layout yet, so would appreciate some suggestions! Tashc 08:49, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Hey :) Very interesting topic chapter! You have done some really good research! As you said, you haven't done much with coding etc, but I do have one suggestion in mind. Near the end where you list the characteristics of the different facial expressions, it would be nice to include a photo for each different type. It would make the chapter appealing and help identify the core features that differentiate each facial expression! Good luck with it, can't wait to see your final version! :) SKM1501 03:11, 02 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the feedback on my page. I put a quote you had that was going off the page into a table, if you don't want it there please change it back, just thought it looked a bit tidier. Anyways I love this topic and the page is looking good. If you wanted to expand more you could include concealment of emotions and how people do this. Also something I am interested is how sociopaths and psychopaths do not show the same facial expressions as others and they do not have the same emotional development. Anyways good luck :) (Benk 08:27, 2 November 2011 (UTC)).

Hey Tash, Thanks very much for your comment on my chapter on Overeating. It actually prompted me to a bit of a wider search on the social influence in eating. There does appear to be a trend that people consume less around strangers -particularly those of the opposite sex - but then restraineded eaters eat more in the presence of other people. So its definitely a point of discussion - thanks!! Your chapter is looking really interesting and I like the use of the guy from "Lie to Me"- nice pop culture reference.

Great chapter and excellent presentation - congratulations - Magnolia

Hey, Thanks for your comment on my leaving home chapter. I have updated my cultural differences section but I looked at Europe, developing countries and Australia, oh and I even put Canada in, but hadn't really looked for much about America. I will consider it though. Looks like your chapter is coming along nicely. Just talking about culture, is there any cultural differences in facial expression? Also found in my 2 seconds of looking, http://www.cio.com/article/facial-expressions-test, figured it might be interesting to put something like that in. Good luck with it.

Overall Overall comments This is an informative topic that covers the prominent emotion researchers and theories and demonstrates use of multiple learning features; however, could benefit from a greater self-help focus. Theory Theory comments Application of theory to the topic is very sound and there is a strong discussion around the facial feedback hypothesis. Research Research comments Good integration of various researchers to describe the evolution of the facial expression theories. Critical analysis of the facial feedback hypothesis is quite strong, drawing upon and describing varied research findings. Written expression Written expression comments Great emotive displays in the Ekman facial images and smiling images to support the universality of emotion. Avoid contractions in formal writing (can’t). The Application section helps tie the chapter together, however, might be strengthened with a dedicated summary providing self-help advice. Although the word limit is quite restrictive here, some words might have been removed from the quizzes. I like the inclusion of quizzes; however, it seems unusual to have a question shuffler or coefficient option for a 1-item quiz. Check where/were usage “where from industrialised cultures were emotion” Some paragraphs were overly long and could be split. Referencing is inconsistent in form; citations in parentheses should use ampersand to separate author names, and et al. should have a full stop before the comma separating author and date. Not all references are in APA style. There are some typos and missing punctuation.

Overall Overall, this presentation used an interview-style presentation, however it seemed that the nature of the topic would have leant itself to use of more examples of facial expressions and their connections to emotion. Structure and content Structure and content Perhaps more questions, with shorter answers Perhaps cover less content, more slowly, with examples Summary? Communication Congrats on the creativity involved in using the interview-format However, was this the best format for a topic that could really have benefitted from visual examples? Effective use of reference to Lie to Me towards the end - gave a more contemporary, news show feel Most of the content consisted of read-out summary material Last slide was up for too little time to read Production quality Audio was OK (had to turn volume up) Lighting was OK (but it was fairly dark) Tripod or putting the camera on a stable, flat surface would have created a steadier image (hand-held)
