Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2018/Humour and emotion regulation

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 00:22, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

Comments etc.

Feel free to add any comments/discussions/feedback in this section. Thank you!

Hi, I would like to advise you that your references are not currently 100% APA style.
When including doi's the latest APA style begins the prefix with https://doi.org/ instead of the previously used 'doi:'
For example your first reference: Crawford, S.A. & Caltabiano, N.J. (2011). Promoting emotional well-being through the use of humour. The Journal of Positive Psychology, 6, 237-252. doi: https://doi-org.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/10.1080/17439760.2011.577087
Should be:
Crawford, S.A. & Caltabiano, N.J. (2011). Promoting emotional well-being through the use of humour. The Journal of Positive Psychology, 6, 237-252. https://doi.org/10.1080/17439760.2011.577087

Topic development feedback

The topic development has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. 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 Excellent Social contribution Excellent; perfect Section headings Logical structure, which incorporates theory Avoid having only one subsection - use no subsections or at least two subsections Key points Overview - consider including one or more case studies or examples that perhaps illustrate effective and ineffective use of humour for emotional regulation As well as positive vs. negative, it may be helpful to distinguish between self-directed vs. other-directed humour Conclusion - any ideas about what the take-home messages are likely to be? This will be arguably the most important section. Image Well done on uploading a self-created image Current display of figure 1 is probably too small to easily read - consider centring horizontally and increasing size References Several relevant references identified - but keep searching because I think there's more that could be useful e.g., https://www.google.com.au/search?q=how+to+use+humor+to+regulate+emotion Use APA style Resources See also - use more topic-specific links e.g., to emotional regulation rather than emotion etc. Excellent - maybe also indicate in brackets what type of resource is being linked to - e.g., TEDtalk video etc.

Chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. 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, competent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits. Theory Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained. Consider integrating and making stronger connections with chapters and work about smiling, laughter, and emotion. These are likely related, overlapping concepts. Research Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory. Written expression Written expression Use third person perspective, rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Layout Avoid having sections with only one sub-section. See earlier comments about heading casing. Use the default Wikiversity heading styles. Learning features Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words would make the text more interactive. Basic use of images. Basic use of tables. Good use of quizzes. Good use of case studies or examples. Citations Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets. References are not in full APA style e.g., Add spaces between author initials.

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Canvas 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 basic presentation. Structure and content Overall, too much detail is presented too fast. A higher level overview would be better. The presentation is well structured (Title, Overview, Body, Conclusion). A Conclusion slide is presented with a take-home message(s). Communication The presentation makes basic use of text based slides with narrated audio. Consider slowing down and leaving longer pauses between sentences. This can help the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point. Set up focus questions and be more selective about what to present. The visual communication could be improved by including some relevant images. Production quality The presentation is over the maximum time limit. The full chapter title and sub-title are used in the video title - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. The full chapter title and sub-title are used on the opening slide - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Audio and video recording quality were very good. A copyright license for the presentation is not provided. A link to and from the book chapter is provided.
