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==

Some suggestions[edit source]

Hi, one suggestion I would make is to consider whether the treatment options you listed actually work. That is does the treatment options address the motivation behind lying in the first place? Your chapter looks great! --BMPENFOLD (discusscontribs) 03:21, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have corrected the spacing in your references and also inserted hanging indents. This TED Talk could be beneficial to put under the external links tab https://www.ted.com/talks/pamela_meyer_how_to_spot_a_liar?language=en#t-496394. Also, you should consider revising the use of italics throughout this topic. --U3173837 (discusscontribs) 17:55, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Really interesting topic and some very interesting research you've put forward. Just as I was going through your article I noticed that you don't have DOI's or "Retrieved from" on all of the references in your list. Also, the second subheading starting with "what motivates people" is missing some wording, I would suggest wording it as "what motivates people to lie so frequently". Thanks --Jackmccann021 (discusscontribs) 08:33, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A link[edit source]

Hi, here is a link to check out that I thought was interesting and could benefit your topic. My topic is on the other end of the spectrum: honesty motivation. --U3169316 (discusscontribs) 21:39, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]


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. Sub-title did not match the book table of contents - fixed
  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.
  2. I've added a link to the book chapter.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Well done

Section headings[edit source]

  1. Basic, 2-level heading structure - could benefit from further development - Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
  2. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an overview paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
  3. Remove Introduction. Either include the material in the Overview of other sections (but note that the Overview should not have sub-sections).

Key points[edit source]

  1. Key points are incomplete (e.g., Overview and Conclusion)
  2. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles.
  3. Consider including more examples/case studies.
  4. Consider embedding one quiz question per major section rather than having one longer quiz towards the end.

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. A single hanging indent template can be used to wrap all references - fixed.
  2. For full APA style:
    1. Use correct capitalisation
    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
  3. If retrieved electronically and there is no DOI, provide the website address.

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also
    1. Use bullet-points (rather than numbered lists)
    2. Provide more details in brackets after links (examples added)
  2. External links
    1. Provide more details in brackets after links (example added)

Example[edit source]

Your book chapter is extremely interesting and I can't wait to read it when it is done. It may benefit to put in some examples of pathological liars. I found this one literature review (Thom, Teslyar & Friedman, 2017) which includes the case study of a woman admitting herself into emergency at the hospital. In another case study, an American judge was a pathological liar, who lied to become a judge as well as lying throughout his career as a judge and even during the investigation into his lies (Dike, Baranoski & Griffith, 2005).

Feedback[edit source]

This is a great start and it is looking good, when you first discuss the false self, as a lay reader I did not understand what a false self is. To improve the readability of the page consider adding a brief description of what a false self is. I look forwards to the finished chapter.

References[edit source]

I noticed that your doi formatting was not consistent with the most recent guidelines that you can find out about here:https://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2014/07/how-to-use-the-new-doi-format-in-apa-style.htmlit basically details that all doi's must be in a url format and how to do that. Hope this helps. --U3173738 (discusscontribs) 12:07, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback[edit source]

Hi, I just wanted to make a comment about the polygraphs that I read about in your book chapter. I had read about them being banned in reality tv recently and found it quite interesting that you mentioned that some countries still use them in use them in the justice system while other do not.--U3144248 (discusscontribs) 13:53, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Chapter review and feedback[edit source]

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[edit source]

  1. Overall, this a mediocre chapter.
  2. There are several promising aspects, but the chapter falls below professional standard with regard to the quality of written expression. It seems rushed in preparation - or at least lacks attention to proofreading detail.
  3. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Some useful theory is considered, particularly in relation to self-presentation and neuropsychology.
  2. Overview - consider adding focus questions.
  3. The Reeve textbook is overused as a citation - instead, utilise primary, peer-reviewed sources.

Research[edit source]

  1. Some relevant research is 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 meta-analyses would be helpful.
  4. Some statements are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Use third person perspective, rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective.
    2. Direct quotes are overused. Direct quotes should be embedded within sentences and paragraphs, rather than dumped holus-bolus. Even better, communicate the concept in your own words.
    3. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
    4. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned").
    5. Some sentences are overly long; consider splitting them into shorter, separate sentences.
    6. Some statements could be explained more clearly - see the [Rewrite to improve clarity] tags
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter uses a basic, 2-level structure.
  3. Learning features
    1. Interwiki links are well used.
    2. Embedding interwiki links links to other book chapters would help to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
    3. Good use of images.
    4. Basic use of tables (also add APA style caption).
    5. No use of feature boxes.
    6. No use of quizzes.
    7. No use of case studies.
  4. Grammar
    1. The grammar for several sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags). Some sentences seemed to be incomplete.
    2. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's).
  5. Spelling
    1. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour; fulfillment vs. fulfilment).
    2. Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags).
  6. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed to fix typos and bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard.
  7. APA style
    1. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    2. Refer to each Table and each Figure at least once within the main text.
    3. Citations use correct 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. See new doi format.
