Comments

Hi there :) Looks like you have a great foundation for your chapter! I have found some articles that might be of use http://www.sciencedirect.com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/science/article/pii/S0167268115000050 http://muse.jhu.edu.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/article/517484 http://link.springer.com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/article/10.1007%2Fs10902-011-9301-7 http://ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=rlh&AN=9603196282

• For your sub headings on Traditional relationships and Open relationships; it might be interesting for you to source some known examples of how these relationships work or don't work? Like celebrity couples for instance that are in traditional/open relationships
• You could also research how couples who engage in more foreplay before sex may be more happier than those who go straight into sex with no foreplay?

Goodluck with your chapter :)--U3100166 (discuss • contribs) 06:20, 20 October 2016 (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 00:16, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

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. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Feel free to make ongoing changes to the chapter if you wish to address any of these comments or make other improvements. Theory Overview Clear and well-written, includes example and focus questions. Body Well-selected, critical focus on a range of relevant theories. Well integrated with discussion of research. Conclusion Offers a succint summary and emphasises solutions. Research A good range of useful/relevant research studies are described. Some statements are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) Isn't there some more concrete research about the happiness couples have sex X times per week? (Or the least happiness couples are those who ...) 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 For academic writing in psychology, such as this book chapter, write in third person rather than first (e.g., avoid "I', "we", "our") or second (e.g., "you", "your" etc.) person perspective. Use an active rather than a passive voice. The chapter successfully addresses the topic and book theme. Structure and headings The chapter is well-structured. Layout Add bullet-points for See also and External links. Tables and/or Figures are used reasonably effectively. Integration with other chapters Limited integration with other chapters is evident - for more, see Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Sexual motivation. Learning features Limited use of interwiki links to relevant Wikipedia articles - more could be added. Quiz questions are used effectively to encourage reader engagement. Spelling, grammar, and proofreading are excellent. APA style Check and correct the APA style for how to report numbers (Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numbers (e.g., 10)). Check and correct use of single versus double quotation marks Check and correct the APA style for citations when there are six or more authors. The APA style for the reference list is very good; remove issue numbers for paginated journals.
