References and spacing

Hi, I edited your references a bit to add italics to the journal name and volume number. To add italics to the reference box you tap the single dash (') twice, each two on either side of whatever you are putting in italics (eg italics). You also don't need the issue numbers. I wasn't sure with some your references with what part was what so there were some I didn't touch, I'll leave you to that with the previous info. I also added spaces in between sections and theories to make it less of a big chunk. Good job so far and this is an interesting topic to me as I have a dark sense of humour and reading the psychology behind it is cool.

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 10:43, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Comment

Under the reasons for why people find dark humour funny is there any relation to mental and physical states for example are people more likely to find dark humour funny if they are exhausted--Haylzw (discuss • contribs) 06:42, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Related Pathology

it may be of benefit to look into pathological outcomes. If dark humour is a coping mechanism, is there a negative pathological outcome with regard of psychological state of course. It may be a little too much depending on time or your other ideas. Perhaps theres a case study somewhere out there that might contain helpful examples. Just some food for thought. --U3175264 (discuss • contribs) 17:13, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I once used Freud in discussing about the language of humour. Humour is one of the best therapy or perhap defense mechanism that people may not know. I am really eager to know what information I may learn on your page. I am a person who can laugh at a funeral--is it bad? Maybe? Is it disrespectful? depends on the culture. I would suggest reading this article: https://thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-15/edition-9/freud-and-language-humour Hope that helps! U3165244

Feedback

Really interesting topic! When I saw this one on the list in the beginning, I was really excited to read it :) It looks like you're off to a great start, too. Your outline and planning is really strong. It would be nice to see some of the paragraphs filled out with a little bit of information. But super strong base! --Demimimimi (discuss • contribs) 11:54, 20 October 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 A section should contain either 0 or 2+ sub-sections - avoid having sections which contain 1 sub-section. User page Created, with description about self and link to book chapter Used effectively Social contribution Excellent Section headings Well developed 3-level heading structure, with meaningful headings that directly relate to the core topic. However, avoid having 1 sub-section - either reduce to 0 or increase to 2+. Perhaps consider an additional top-level section to break up the long "Why we like dark, dirty, obscure humor" section. 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. For definitions, consider psychological rather than, or in addition to, dictionary definitions. From a psychological point of view, what is the experience of humour. Link to previous related book chapter(s) on humour in this section (e.g., see Category:Motivation_and_emotion/Book/Humour) APA style - direct quotes should also have page numbers Good coverage of relevant theory and research, with lots of examples. Image Provided, with an APA style caption Cite each figure at least once in the main text. References Good. For full APA style: Use correct italicisation 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 Retrieved by dates should no longer be included.

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 UCLearn Canvas, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a solid, interesting chapter that is relatively strong on theory and examples. The main room for improvement is in reviewing and synthesising research. For additional feedback, see following comments and these copyedits. Theory Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained. Research Overall, this chapter makes insufficient use of research. 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 Overall, the quality of written expression is good. Some of the bullet-points should have been in full paragraph format. Use third person perspective rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective[1]. Direct quotes should be embedded within sentences and paragraphs, rather than dumped holus-bolus. Even better, communicate the concept in your own words. Layout The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections. Learning features No use of interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. No use of embedded links to related book chapters. Embedding links links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project. Very good use of images. Good use of tables. Basic use of feature boxes. Basic use of quizzes. The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than being presented as a set of questions at the end. Very good use of case studies or examples. Grammar, spelling, and proofreading are excellent. Abbreviations Abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.) should only be used inside parentheses. APA style See new doi format. Social contribution ~6 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence
