Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2015/Fear of missing out

Comments

Hi, it might be an idea to add a justification table of score on the quiz. i.e 0 out of 6 means you have no fear of being left out but 6 out of 6 means you have significant levels of fear. At the moment it doesn't really try together with anything. U116040

Hi, something funky is happening with your quiz. It doesn't really give a proper score so I can understand what my answers mean? Also there was a missing 'what' in one question (well I think that is what was missing!?) I fixed it. Hope that helps. U943390 (discuss • contribs) 02:22, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Hey, Interesting topic :) I was going to suggest maybe looking into something like abandonment issues as the bust of that emotion. Just not wanting to be left out at all. Best of luck Iga.leszczynska (discuss • contribs)

I love your page! You have great content and it is visually superb! The only thing is just check the scoring on the second quiz - it says the score is out of one so look into this! Good luck :) U3040525 (discuss • contribs) 06:13, 25 October 2015 (UTC)u3040525

Suggestions

Hi,your chapter reads well, Could i suggest perhaps including a section on what fear is, what it means and how FOMO feeds into the larger emotion of fear. You might also be able to look at the physiology of fear. u116040

Hello! Your topic sounds really fascinating. I've added a study which may help you when you discuss fomo a bit more. Basically from what i have read on FOMO it is due to a variety of factors, such as lower mood, life and need satisfaction. I believe if you search a little more, there are also studies which show that fomo is also linked to excess use of social media. fear of missing out. Research has also suggested that foo can be explained by biological theories. the amyglada, part of the limbic system, detects whether something is a threat to survival. By applying this to fomo, not having what one considers essential information or not being part of the 'ideal' group can actually cause an individual's amyglada to respond and stimulate the stress activation response! Przybylski, A. K., Murayama, K., DeHaan, C. R., & Gladwell, V. (2013). Motivational, emotional, and behavioral correlates of fear of missing out. Computers in Human Behavior, 29(4), 1841-1848. I would also recommend you create a quiz for people to take to see if they suffer from fomo. Also including how to manage fomo (such as taking breaks from social media and spending time alone would also be beneficial to your book chapter. Anyway, best of luck and i look forward to reading this! --U3034876 (discuss • contribs) 03:27, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi! Really interesting topic. It reads well and I love how you have the definition from BuzzFeed so bold and clear to grasp the idea of FOMO straight away. You've used some key theories and made them stand out well in the coloured boxes. Might I suggest adding a few key ways to reduce the amount of time people spend on their phones/the internet? I saw a show where there are actually programs for teens who are addicted to the internet to go to this camp to learn more socialisation skills and to get them out in the environment. It was on ABC and was about internet addiction and "detoxing" these teens. It still had some really relevant activities that got kids out there enjoying themselves, instead of thinking about the internet. So maybe just adding that exercise and activities that involve team work can improve social skills and assist with reducing that FOMO. Here's an article about it here - http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-09-13/south-korean-children-seek-help-at-digital-detox-boot-camp/6769766 Good luck! --Bt1718 (discuss • contribs) 6:27, 25 October 2015 (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 04:10, 23 October 2015 (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 see the 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.

Overall Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient presentation. Structure and content Check APA style for direct quotes. Slide 1 quotes can't easily be read because the audio is about a different topic and also being processed by the viewer. The three motivational theories are not demonstrably applied to FOMO? The research summary was interesting and probably warranted more detail/attention. The conclusion/tips were helpful - they would be even better if they were clearly derived from theory and/or research. Communication Audio is clear and well-paced. Visuals are clear and easy to read. Consider including images to help illustrate key points. Production quality Overall, well produced. Rename the title to include the topic subtitle. so that it is more descriptive and meaningful. Fill out the description field (e.g., brief description of presentation, link back to the book chapter, license details, and possibly include references and image attributions). A copyright license for the presentation is not indicated (i.e., in the description or in the presentation slides). No link is provided back to the book chapter.
