Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2014/Music genre and emotion

Comments

Hi I noticed you have not started the page yet. The topic sounds very interesting. I don't know what will you cover. If I were you, I probably would look at:

• music and music genre:
• emotion:
• different genre and emotions:

1. rock: punk, indie, heavy metal are very different from each other though in their effect on emotions.
2. classic: probably can be further divided like rock.
3. how about experimental? I know a bit about experimental music (in the line of improvising, free jazz that deconstructs rhythms and melodies). Heavily conceptual music is not very emotional, but music by the necks is so beautiful and moving (not in a sentimental way).
4. music with/ without human voice are very different.
5. music therapy on emotions
6. french songs.

There will be plenty to talk about. --Xlc (discuss • contribs) 03:32, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use: ==Cats and dogs== rather than ==Cats and Dogs== -- Jtneill - Talk - c 10:40, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Moodle site. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener. If you wish to dispute the marks, see the suggested marking dispute process.

Overall Overall, basic tools are used to create an effective presentation. This presentation is 3:11 mins - there was scope for a more indepth presentation (up to 5 mins) Structure and content Content is well selected. What is major and minor key (e.g. provide an example)? Very little research is cited. Communication Audio pace is generally good, but in places is too fast. Additional space between bullet-points can make reading multiple points easier Less text on slides would them easier to read (and listen at the same time) Production quality Slides are clear Audio voice-over is clear and well recorded

Chapter review and feedback

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 Moodle, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this chapter argues that emotion is related to music genre, but never really explains or concludes what (if any) relationships there is between music genre and emotion. The chapter seems to suggest that perhaps it could be match between music preferences and music that influences whether happy or sad emotions is felt. There are many statements made which are conjectural and apparently without cited supported. The chapter, at the very list, needs to be rewritten to include more in-text referencing in order to be of a sufficient standard as professional psychology writing. For more feedback, see these copyedits and comments below. Theory What emotion theory(ies) are used in this chapter? There is a lack of clarity about the theoretical frameworks being considered (e.g., arousal theory, sensation seeking etc.) Research Several studies are referred to, but full citations are not provided. Some statements were unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) When describing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Written expression Written expression Some of the bullet-points should be rewritten into full paragraph format. The quality of written expression could be improved (e.g., where clarification templates have been added to the page). The chapter would benefit from a more developed Overview and Conclusion, with clearer focus question(s) (Overview) and take-home self-help message for each focus question (Conclusion). Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., above, below, as previously mentioned) The chapter would benefit from a more precise Conclusion - what are the key take-home messages about how can lead better emotional lives by using theory and research about music genres? Layout See earlier comments about heading casing No images or tables were used. Learning features The text could become more interactive by including interwiki links. Link to the chapter about music and exercise motivation and other chapter(s) about music Spelling Grammar and proofreading Check and correct the use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs. individuals') APA style Check APA style for direct quotes. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numbers (e.g., 10) Check/correct APA style for in-text citations. In-text citations were under-used. The reference list is not in full APA style.
