Overall, this is a promising chapter that is undermined by becoming too bogged down in theory, with too few examples and a lack of a Conclusion which emphasises practical, take-home messages.
A wide range of relevant theory is discussed, but in some cases there is too much detail and not enough big picture integration. The lack of a coherent Conclusion is telling.
Several useful, relevant research studies are described, but in some cases, in too much detail, with too little connection drawn back to the book chapter topic.
When describing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
Greater emphasis on major reviews and meta-analyses would be helpful.
Some statements are unreferenced - see the [factual?] tags
Several paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
Use of more examples would help to make the heavily theoretical material easy for a lay reader to understand.
Layout
Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
Learning features
Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words would make the text more interactive.
No use of images or tables.
Basic use of quizzes.
Good use of case studies, but these would be more effective if they were integrated/embedded to help illustrate key theoretical points.

Audio recording quality was very quiet - review microphone set up.
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.
The description of the license is CC, but the meta-data indicates a Standard Youtube license - be consistent.
