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 02:11, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, just made some basic edits in your reference list, the lines weren't properly separated. I notice there is something wrong with your Berenguer reference, the article seems to have been updated in 2010 but your reference is 2008. U943390 (discuss • contribs) 12:01, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Social Movement Theory

Hi, Interesting topic! Have you considered looking at any social movement theories? There is a wealth of research on social movements, and while they're not from the psychology discipline (they're based in sociology), they may give you a good insight into social movement organisations, activists, and how they galvanise support. You could certainly use some of their research in your explanations of activism. Eg. Collective Behaviour Theory, Resource Mobilisation Theory, Political Process theory, New Social Movement Theory, Marxist approach etc. Prominent academics are Charles Tilly, Sidney Tarrow, Alain Touraine, etc. U3036889 (discuss • contribs) 04:23, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi! This book chapter is looking fantastic! Its such an interesting topic and very well thought out - I ended up reading the whole chapter. My only suggestion would be to add a few extra hyperlinks, for example, when you are talking about Amnesty and the Salvation Army you could add a link so its easy for people to investigate those organisations further if they would like to, Im happy to do it for you if you'd like? I don't want to edit someones book chapter without their permission. Well done and good luck! U3048330 (discuss • contribs)

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 is a solid chapter. Its strength is theory and the practical emphasis; the main area for improvement could be a more indepth and critical review of research. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Theory Theory is well covered, including enablers and barriers. Theory about volunteering motivation could also be helpful (e.g., Clary and Snyder) Research The chapter could provide more indepth consideration of psychological research on the topic. When describing important research studies, provide some indication of the nature of the sample and possibly cultural context. When discussing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Written expression Written expression was generally good, but could be improved in places (e.g., see where clarification templates have been added to the page). Layout The chapter is well-structured. Add bullet-points for See also and External links Figures were used effectively; no tables? Figure captions should be more explanatory. Learning features Interwiki links could be added (e.g., to relevant Wikipedia articles and other Wikiversity book chapters) to make the text more interactive. Spelling Some spelling/proofreading could be improved - see the tags Grammar and proofreading Use abbreviations such as "e.g." inside brackets and "for example" outside brackets Check and correct the use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs. individuals') The grammar of some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags) APA style Direct quotes need page numbers. Check and correct the use of "&" vs. "and" (Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets). Check and correct the APA style for figure captions. The reference list is not in full APA style.
