Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2015/Luxury good purchase motivation

Comments

hello! What a cool topic you have chosen. I think you write very well and have made some excellent points in your case study. I think maybe discussing a few other ideas =could really enhance your paper. I would suggest looking into globalisation and whether wealth and culture are contributing factors to those who purchase luxury goods. I believe a few studies have looked into examining why rich people want to stay rich etc. Good luck! --U3034876 (discuss • contribs) 07:48, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi there! Your chapter is really great! You've critiqued your research really well, and the layout is very well broken up and easy to read. Just remember to number your Figures as per APA formatting. Other than that, well done! --Sgerstenberg (discuss • contribs) 20:30, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi! I think your book chapter came out really well. I think you should add alittle more color to make the entire page pop. Other than that everything looks great. Cheers! Uu3148421 (discuss • contribs) 07:30, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Feedback

Hi Alex, thank you very much for reviewing my book chapter on flow and mastery (chapter 41). Your comments were very insightful, much appreciated. I hope your chapter is coming along. In reviewing your chapter, I'd like to offer the following:

Your chapter has a fantastic opening because it opens the topic far beyond my preconceptions about the significance of luxury. Your chapter could well be entitled, 'Luxury goods purchase motivation: THE SURPRISING TRUTH about what motivates people to buy luxury goods.'

You may wish to add a dot point outline comprising your chapter aims near the start of your chapter.

The BBC documentary link generated further interest in the material as did the discussion that follows regarding the paucity of research. Your chapter is helping to fill a genuine gap.

Your reference to the 'middle classes' may benefit from a reference or an appropriate hyperlink that provides readers with some context or background to this phrase. The same applies to SDT.

Under the heading 'self determination theory' you wrote: '...popularity are less important to well-being that goals...' and you may wish to change 'that' to 'than'?

You may wish to consider using a table or diagram for the 'five types of value for luxury goods' as this appears to occupy a key place in your chapter.

The last sentence before the heading 'types of customer commitment...' may benefit from a reference.

Under the heading 'placing LGPM on a continuum...' you wrote: '...illustrate this with the example of a watch In material...', you may wish to insert a full stop after the word watch.

The material presented under the heading 'LGPM and well-being', particularly regarding benefits and harms may benefit from being presented in a table or diagrammatic format as a way of summarising the salient points.

I very much enjoyed reading your chapter and thought that you brought a great deal of intelligence to the way concepts were explained, discussed and contrasted.

Thank you again for your help with my own chapter and I wish you all the best with yours.

Kind regards

Hi everyone.

Thanks very much for your thoughtful comments and for the positive feedback.

I made some changes to the chapter because of these and if I had more space would have made some more.

Best of luck with the assessment.

Overall Overall, this is a very solid chapter which makes effective use of the wiki environment and provides an integrated, indepth, and readable synthesis of psychological theory and research on the topic. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Theory Theory was well covered. What is a luxury good - this is never really defined. The Conclusion could be expanded to provide a more cogent summary of the key take-home messages. Research Research is well considered. 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 very good. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences. Layout Check and correct heading levels. Tables and/or Figures are used effectively. Learning features The chapter makes excellent use of interwiki links to other book chapters and to relevant Wikipedia articles. Quiz questions are used effectively to encourage reader engagement. Spelling Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize -> hypothesise). APA style Check and correct APA style for direct quotes. Put in-text citations in alphabetical order. Add APA style captions to tables and figures. The reference list is not in full APA style.
