What a lovely looking page!! TomMarvoloRiddle (discuss • contribs)

Such a good concept!

Hey, as someone who lives on a pretty big property and has more animals than I could possibly count, I think the idea of pet ownership and emotion is wonderful! I know it is a silly TV show, but this clip stands out in my mind and I think there would have to be some basis behind it!

You're page is great, I was able to find some interesting information in this article and thought it might be relevant. McConnell, A. R., Brown, C. M., Shoda, T. M., Stayton, L. E., & Martin, C. E. (2011) Friends with benefits: On the positive consequence of pet ownership. Journal of personality and social psychology, 101, 1239-1252.

Overall Overall, this is a useful, solid chapter. It has some excellent coverage of theory and research. Some of the written expression could be improved. Note that approximately a quarter of the chapter focuses very generically on what an emotion is - this could be summarised with a link to other pages for more detail e.g., emotion. Theory Several interesting and useful types of theory are considered, including some not covered in other chapters e.g., role theory Research Research comments... Written expression Written expression comments... Check APA style for citations - should be in alphabetical in brackets Avoid one sentence paragraphs; 3 to 5 sentences is suggested

1. The chapter would benefit from demonstrating how it uniquely builds upon other related Motivation and Emotion book chapters (see the See also section)

Overall Overall, Structure and content Excellent, engaging introduction using animal/pet video. Content is well-selected and structured. Several theories and some research is mentioned/cited. Communication Narrated audio is well-paced varied intonation helps to maintain interest. Production quality Text resolution is poor!? Audio was clear (although there was a little white noise) The video is published under a standard youtube license, but the slides indicate creative commons. Source of videos is acknowledged via youtube editor - excellent, well done .
