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.
  2. For additional feedback, see following comments and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained.
  2. There is too much general theoretical material. Instead, summarise and link to further information (such as other book chapters or Wikipedia articles), to allow this chapter to focus on the specific topic (i.e., the sub-title question).

Research[edit source]

  1. Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.
  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.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is excellent.
    2. Use active rather than passive voice[1].
    3. Use third person perspective rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective[2].
    4. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead, use section linking.
    5. The chapter benefited from a well developed Overview and Conclusion, with clear focus question(s) and take-home messages.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
  3. Learning features
    1. Good use of interwiki links to Wikipedia articles, but use in-text interwiki links, rather than external links.
    2. 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.
    3. Very good use of images.
    4. No use of tables.
    5. Good use of feature boxes.
    6. Excellent use of quizzes.
    7. Good use of case studies or examples.
  4. Grammar
    1. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[3].
    2. Use serial commas[4] - it is part of APA style and generally recommended by grammaticists.
  5. APA style
    1. Figures and tables
      1. Use APA style to refer to each Table and each Figure (e.g., remove full-stops).
    2. Citations use correct APA style.
    3. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation.
      2. See new doi format.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~22 logged, minor social contributions with direct links to evidence. Many of these were links to Wikipedia articles using external links. Ideally, add these as interwiki links.
