Comments[edit source]

Hi, very well structured and thought through chapter. Makes reading very interesting. References all look good - well done. The only value I can add is that you may want to look at the table title - I restructured mine so that they aligned with APA format. However, I will leave that with you to consider.

Hi! I've just added a couple "wiki-links" to your page and another one in the "see also" section, just to help out with the "interactive learning" criteria of the assessment. Hope you don't mind. Regards, Dana--U3096943 (discusscontribs) 09:11, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The definitions for use in the chapter are a nice touch! i feel like some general edits are needed in the overview section :) well done! HomerIncognito (discusscontribs) 06:35, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]


This chapter looks great so far! I've just added to my watch list as my topic is also drug related, so I thought we may be able to exchange some ideas later down the track. You look like you've made a great start though and I look forward to seeing more to come. --U3100481 (discusscontribs) 02:42, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Heading formatting[edit source]

Just use the standard formatting for headings (e.g., no italics or bold), to help ensure consistency across the chapters. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 12:52, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Image contribution[edit source]

Hi I added an image of Lance Armstrong at the Tour de France, in the Risk taking section. Thought it might be useful. Cheers, --Muzz2016 (discusscontribs) 07:36, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Muzz2016 It fits in well with that section. U3115468 (discusscontribs) 01:11, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Overview[edit source]

The Overview presents a single case-study, which is helpful, but more importantly the Overview needs to describe the problem and how psychology theory/research is relevant to addressing the problem. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 22:42, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Structure[edit source]

Are all these sections meant to be within the Theories section?

  • Self-determination theory
  • Achievement goal theory
    • Task-oriented (mastery) goals
    • Ego-oriented (performance) goals
  • Motivational climate
  • Theory of planned behaviour
