Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2015/Workaholism motivation

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 20:20, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Feedback

Hi! I thought you might want to consider looking at individual differences in terms of being motivated to become a workaholic. Is it their personality, upbringing etc? And then continue to look at situational forces such as pressure to succeed and fitting into social norms which you most likely are already looking into. I also thought maybe putting the differences between a workaholic and a work enthuiast into a clear table as it might be more effective.

Overall Overall, this is an excellent, well-written and explained chapter which provides an integrated, readable consideration of psychological theory and research on the topic. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Theory Theory is well explained, with useful examples. Research Research is well explained, although key studies could be considered in more detail 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 is excellent. The Overview and Conclusion are excellent. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences. Layout Add bullet-points for See also and External links. The chapter is well-structured. No images or tables were used. Learning features Add interwiki links to relevant Wikipedia articles and related book chapters. Quiz questions are used effectively to encourage reader engagement. Spelling, grammar, and proofreading are excellent. APA style Direct quotes need page numbers. Put in-text citations in alphabetical order. Check and correct the use of "&" vs. "and" (Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets). The reference list is not in full APA style.
