Comments[edit source]

Great work Brydie! I think your Figure 1 is excellent. Suggestion: maybe using the DSM-5 to help define the Mental disorders will be beneficial for you as your chapter progresses! I look forward to seeing the final chapter once its completed! --Maddkilby (discusscontribs) 22:10, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, awesome topic you've picked! One comment I would make is to consider putting empirical data in your mental disorders section to explore help reflect the extent of the problem. --BMPENFOLD (discusscontribs) 03:24, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi i would just like to link you a paper I have used previously in another unit that may be helpfulǃ When feeling attractive matters too much to women: A processunderpinning the relation between psychological need satisfaction and unhealthy weight control behaviors - Thanks u31149665 (social contrib. 20th October)


Great book chapter! suggestion would be adding in a few more external links that relate to topic a bit more. A good one I found that talk about body image in context in psychological need satisfaction. https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/publications/body-image-report/exec-summary. --U3187314 (discusscontribs) 01:34, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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. Capitalisation of the title has been corrected to be consistent with the book table of contents

User page[edit source]

  1. Created, with basic description about self
  2. Add link to book chapter

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Summarised with indirect link to evidence.
  2. 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. Under developed 2-level heading structure - lacks disciplined focus on address the question in the sub-title.
  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.
  5. Avoid providing too much background information. Instead, briefly summarise generic concepts and provide internal wiki links to further information. Then the focus of most of the content can be on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title.

Key points[edit source]

  1. Overview - Consider adding focus questions.
  2. Some development for some sections; minimal or missing for other sections.
  3. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters.
  4. Consider introducing a case study in the Overview.
  5. Consider embedding one quiz question per major section rather than having one longer quiz towards the end.

Image[edit source]

  1. An image (figure) is presented.
  2. Caption uses APA style.
  3. Caption explains how the image connects to key points being made in the main text.
  4. Cite each figure at least once in the main text.

References[edit source]

  1. Good.
  2. For full APA style:
    1. Use correct capitalisation
    2. Use correct italicisation
    3. 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
    4. Do not include issue numbers for journals which are continuously numbered within a volume

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also
    1. Excellent
  2. External links
    1. Lacks direct relevance to topic

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 is an insufficient chapter.
  2. The Overview could be improved by adding a case study.
  3. This chapter is well under the maximum word count.
  4. For additional feedback, see comments below and [ these copyedits].

Theory[edit source]

  1. The chapter doesn't present a sufficient description of how psychological needs may influence body image based on the best and most relevant psychological theory.
  2. It is unclear why this chapter goes beyond SDT as a theoretical framework. SDT would be quite sufficient as it is the main contemporary theory about psychological needs and can be readily applied to analysing its effects on body image.
  3. There is too much general description of background theory and too little application of psychological need theory to body image.
  4. The Reeve (2018) textbook is overused as a citation - instead, utilise primary, peer-reviewed sources.

Research[edit source]

  1. Overall, this chapter makes insufficient use of research to inform its understand of the relationship between psychological needs and body image.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic, with some repeated errors. Mostly the issue is that the chapter is light-weight and too brief.
    2. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
    3. 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 major sections using sub-sections.
  3. Learning features
    1. Basic use of interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.
    2. No use of embedded links to related book chapters. Embedding interwiki links links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
    3. Good use of images.
    4. Basic use of tables. Figures 1 and 2 should be re-captioned as tables.
    5. Very good use of feature boxes.
    6. Basic use of quizzes.
    7. 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.
    8. Basic use of a case study. To improve, tailor the case study to the topic (i.e., the relationship between psychological needs and body image).
  4. Grammar
    1. Check and correct use of affect vs. effect.
    2. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').
  5. APA style
      1. Use APA style to refer to each Table and each Figure (e.g., Figure 1 rather than figure 1).
      2. Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
    1. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation.
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation.
      3. Check and correct use of author initials.
      4. See new doi format.
