Heading casing[edit source]

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings (or sentence casing). For example, use:

==Cats and dogs==

rather than

==Cats and Dogs==

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[edit source]

  1. Good
  2. A section should contain either 0 or 2+ sub-sections - avoid having sections which contain 1 sub-section.

User page[edit source]

  1. Created, with brief description about self and link to book chapter

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. 1 summarised with indirect link to evidence
  2. Use a numbered list
  3. Add direct links to evidence. To do this: View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page. For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions.

Section headings[edit source]

  1. Basic, 2-level heading structure - could benefit from further development.
  2. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
  3. See earlier comment about Heading casing.
  4. 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[edit source]

  1. Use bullet-points for focus questions
  2. Whilst distinguishing between EM and IM might offer one useful theoretical perspective, I'm not sure that structuring the entire chapter around this distinction will give the best representation of what is know about mania and motivation in psychological academic literature. Also consider how other aspects of motivation which are particular to mania may be incorporated.
  3. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles.
  4. Consider including more examples/case studies.

Image[edit source]

  1. Provided, with an APA style caption
  2. Cite each figure at least once in the main text.

References[edit source]

  1. DSM reference is incomplete.
  2. For full APA style:
    1. Use correct italicisation
    2. 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
    3. Do not include issue numbers for journals which are continuously numbered within a volume

Mania Characteristics[edit source]

Interesting read, it would help if you went into about the characteristics of mania. Specifically going into detail about Grandiosity and how it affects motivation. Grandiosity is a key characterisation of mania or hypomania in mood disorders like Bipolar disorder, it is when the individual experiences Grandiose delusions which makes them believe larger-than-life feelings of superiority and invincibility. When an individual experiences this it can exaggerate their sense of importance, power, knowledge, or identity. An example would be them believing they are the best at a video game, and how they will become the best player and earn money through it, and they can't be shaken from this idea. It would be really interesting to speak about how this can motivate people to achieve their goals, and whether it would help or hinder this achievement. --U3175262 (discusscontribs) 02:19, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
