Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2017/Compatibilism

Feedback

Hey there! I made a couple of grammatical changes in the conclusion, nothing major though. I also changed the bolded words "free will" as I could see a reason for them to be bold? Feel free to change back if there was a reason. Also, your images seem rather large, I didnt reformat them as I wasnt sure if that was the look you were going for or not. Your chapter is super interesting though and you have done a really good job on it. I have temptation as a topic and also talk about ego depletion, but you do a much better job than I do! :) U3111270 (discuss • contribs) 09:47, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

Something similar

I've discussed this topic in the past with people, and I'm not sure whether this is compatabilism or something similar:

To some extent, one can argue that determinism and free will are the same or have the same result, its just that one is in a positivistic and the other in a realistic language: -If someone's actions are pre-determined, the best argument we have is that they are internally determined, not instead determined by external forces outside of a person's inclinations and potential. -What we also know is that people will act or respond in concordance with their best interests in regards to their perceived opportunities in any given moment, thus, whatever you decide is based on whatever you have learned and becomes part of your personality, schemas, scripts etc, and although you are aware of those things, you are still at the mercy of them, just in a way that you like (you are being forced by your brain to do what you want); because you would always do what you ideally would want to, and if you didn't, that would be a thing that you would want to do (by definition). In other words, you are at the deterministic mercy of your self.

Good luck with your chapter, it sounds like a really interesting can of worms - I've loved past discussions on it ;D

Regards,

Hey Liam, Great chapter with a really interesting topic which I actually really enjoyed reading !. I have done an assignment for a previous psych unit focusing on the theory of planned behaviour which might be relevant to your section on Fundamental attribution error. The theory proposes that self efficacy contributes to behaviour, in the compatibilism debate determinism may contribute to altered self efficacy which may effect behaviour. This study might prove useful in incorporating this idea into the chapter - http://zh9bf5sp6t.scholar.serialssolutions.com/?sid=google&auinit=I&aulast=Ajzen&atitle=Perceived+behavioral+control,+self%E2%80%90efficacy,+locus+of+control,+and+the+theory+of+planned+behavior&id=doi:10.1111/j.1559-1816.2002.tb00236.x&title=Journal+of+applied+social+psychology&volume=32&issue=4&date=2002&spage=665&issn=0021-9029

Peer comments

Hi Liam, I had a read over your chapter and it is well put together, easy to follow and conveys a clear idea. I made some minor grammatical changes for you. Karly --U3117418 (discuss • contribs) 09:01, 22 October 2017 (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 01:30, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks will be available later via Moodle. Keep an eye on Announcements. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.

Title, sub-title, TOC Excellent User page Created Used effectively Social contribution Clear, direct links Also consider adding a brief summary of the contribution to the user page Section headings Well structured Key points As this topic is quite conceptual/theoretical, consider including more explanatory examples e.g., how might compatibilism function/be used in everyday life? Also make sure that the chapter clearly and unambiguously describes compatibilism and how it relates to the determinism-free will spectrum - it probably doesn't yet provide a sufficiently clear understanding of what compatibilism is and how it might apply to everyday life Are the three theorists compatibilists? Needs more explanation e.g., why or why not? Who are the leading compatibilists? Is this really just a philosophical question? Is there any relevant research evidence? Consider. Include more citations for key points. Maybe consider self-other differences (e.g., we don't to blame/see others at fault for their failures, but tend to give environmental explanations for our own failures) Image Very good - have expanded sizes. Consider expanding the caption for Fig. 2 References Very good APA style - do not include issue numbers not needed for continuously number journals Use the new recommended format for dois - http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2014/07/how-to-use-the-new-doi-format-in-apa-style.html Resources Good Internal links e.g., to Wikipedia/Wikiversity pages go in See also External links to go in External links Maybe consider linking to other chapters about e.g., autonomy, reactance, ego depletion

Overall This is an excellent all round chapter. It is particularly impressive that it takes a challenging, abstract concept, and integrates theory and research with practical implications or our everyday lives. Theory Theories were well very described and explained in an easily understandable manner, with lots of meaningful examples. Research Research is well described and integrated, with a critical perspective Written expression Written expression is excellent, with a well developed Overview and Conclusion APA style is excellent. The sizes of some images have been reduced. Excellent use of wiki learning features. Perhaps more in-text links to Wikipedia could be added.

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 simple, but effective presentation. Structure and content Add and narrate a Title slide, to help the viewer understanding the focus and goal of the presentation. Add and narrate an Overview slide, to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered. Well selected and structured content - not too much or too little. The example was helpful. Perhaps also present some other examples. Research? The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages. Communication The text on some slides is too small to read easily (e.g., ego depletion) The presentation is well narrated. Production quality Use the full chapter title and sub-title on the opening slide and in the name of the video because this helps to match the book chapter and to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Audio and video recording quality was very good. Excellent acknowledgement of image sources and licensing. Software used to create presentation?
