Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Affect regulation theory

Grammar

Hey there,

Just letting you know I had a review of you chapter and made a few minor grammatical changes.

For example under your heading relevant theories and research I made a few word changes, as below:

Relevant theories of relevance towards Affective regulation theory:

Below are a mix of theories and areas of research that demonstrate significant relevance towards affective regulation theory:

Hope that's okay.

Cheers,

Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings (or sentence casing). For example, use: ==Cats and dogs== rather than ==Cats and Dogs== -- Jtneill - Talk - c 05:55, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

@Quinopop: Just drawing your attention to this suggestion. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 02:34, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

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 and sub-title Excellent User page Created, with description about self and link to book chapter Used effectively Social contribution None summarised with links to evidence Section headings Basic, 2-level heading structure - could benefit from further development Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings. See earlier comment about Heading casing. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an overview paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings. Key points Key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles. Consider including more examples/case studies. Consider embedding one quiz question per major section rather than having one longer quiz towards the end. Image Provided Use APA style for caption (italics for Figure X.) Cite each figure at least once in the main text. References Excellent Resources See also Also include related Wikiversity book chapters External links Good

Overall Overall, this chapter does a good job of applying psychological theory and research to a real-world problem. A strength is that the chapter is quite comprehensive. Areas for improvement include providing a really clear, simple description of the theory and the quality of written expression, including closer referencing. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits. Theory Relevant theories are considered. It would be helpful to make the distinction between affect regulation and emotion regulation more clear. Consider adding examples. Applications and clinical examples are provided. Research Overall, this chapter makes sufficient use of research. Some relevant research is described, but this could be more systematic and discussed in relation to ART. Many claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags). When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful. Written expression Written expression Use third person perspective rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "below"; instead refer to Figure 1, Table 1 etc.). Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences. Layout Use bullet-points and numbered lists, per Tutorial 1. Learning features No use of embedded links to related book chapters. Embedding interwiki links links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project. For example, this would be ideal for the discussion of applications (e.g., to eating disorders). Very good use of images. Check order. No use of tables. Good use of feature boxes. Increase width for quizzes. Good use of quizzes. Good use of case studies or examples. Grammar The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags). Check and make correct use of commas. Use serial commas[1] - it is part of APA style and generally recommended by grammaticists. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[2]. Abbreviations Check and correct grammatical formatting for abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.). Proofreading More proofreading is needed to fix typos and bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard. Remove unnecessary capitalisation (e.g., Affect). Figures and tables Use APA style to refer to each Table and each Figure (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation). A serial comma is needed before "&" or "and" for citations involving three or more authors. Citations are not in full APA style. For example: Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets. References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and correct use of capitalisation. Social contribution ~3 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence

Overall Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient presentation. The presentation is under the maximum time limit - could slow down. Structure and content Promising, but too much content is covered too quickly - be more selective. There is a lack sufficient scene setting. The sub-title question is not established, so it is difficult for the viewer to know what the presentation is going to be about. There is initial explanation of ART warrants more time being spent on it, because unless it is clearly understood (e.g., include examples), the rest of the presentation doesn't make much sense. This basic explanation is probably more important than "related theories"- instead the presentation starts with a general description of emotion. There is some promising use of applied examples, but these really need to be tied much more closer to understanding and applying key aspects of ART. The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages. No citations? No research? Communication Slow down and leave 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. The presentation makes effective use of text and image based slides with narrated audio. The font size could be made larger to make it easier to read. The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images. Production quality The chapter title but not the sub-title are used in the video title - this would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. The chapter title but not the sub-title are used on the opening slide - this would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Audio recording quality was good.
