Interesting Area!

[edit source]

Hello,

I found this chapter to be a interesting read. Especially in regards to the changing way society functions with the advent of social media. The fact that a mistake from 15+ years ago can resurface online and so often society fails to accept any apology that may have been made on the part of the (much younger and less experienced) offender. I found your use of theoretical models and case study well done and useful.

Thanks for your efforts here

Social contribution

[edit source]

I found this chapter interesting to read. You did a good job at explaining Boyds apology model. Great work! --U3158296 (discusscontribs) 01:00, 20 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

I think it's clear you've done a lot of work to your book chapter and it looks great. Have you considered putting in case studies to ensure your explanation is related. --BMPENFOLD (discusscontribs) 07:41, 20 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is an excellent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. Theory and practice are strengths. The main area for development is the integration of critical review of research.
  2. This chapter is slightly over the maximum word count (e.g., consider abbreviating the Overview; focus questions (repeated) removed from Conclusion).
  3. For additional feedback, see comments below and [ these copyedits].
  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained, with examples.
  2. Perhaps there is more room to consider the role of emotion.
  1. Relevant research citations are well integrated, but probably lacks detail/depth.
  2. 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.
  3. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the chapter is very well written.
    2. Use third person perspective rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with the major section using sub-sections.
    2. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
  3. Learning features
    1. Use in-text interwiki links, rather than external links.
    2. Excellent use of embedded links to related book chapters. Other chapter topics to connect to include: sorrow.
    3. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words would make the text more interactive.
    4. Excellent use of images. Resize images that are difficult to read.
    5. No use of tables. This could be an effective way to summarise the suggested apology steps.
    6. Very good use of feature boxes.
    7. Excellent use of quizzes.
    8. Excellent use of case studies or examples.
  4. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
    2. Use serial commas[1] - it is part of APA style and generally recommended by grammaticists.
    3. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's).
    4. Abbreviations
      1. Check and correct grammatical formatting for abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.).
  5. Spelling
    1. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour; fulfillment vs. fulfilment).
  6. APA style
    1. Excellent use of APA style for Figure captions. See example.
    2. Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
    3. Citations are in full APA style.
    4. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation.
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation.
      3. Add spaces between author initials.
  1. ~7 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence
