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==

Feedback[edit source]

Under the heading "Regulatory Focus Theory"

  • The sentence starting"RFT is about behavioural manifestations of motivation behaviour;" does not make sense to me because I don't know what "motivation behaviour" is. Consider rephrasing or explaining motivation behaviour.

Under the heading "In the Workplace"

  • The paragraph starting "Both promotion- and prevention-focus are crucial to the successful running of an organisation or business" does not have any references, make sure to cite before where you got this information from
  • The paragraph below the one mentioned above you have a long paragraph which contains a long example, to break the text up and to make it a bit more engaging you may want to take everything after "For example" in that paragraph and convert it to a feature box. Also consider if you can add any references to your examples of how RFT will affect the workplace.

Under the heading "references" Your references are looking great, the only thing you could improve is your DOI displays:

FYI, the current way to display a doi in apa format is to precede it with https://doi.org/

For example doi: 10.1037/arc0000014 should be displayed as https://doi.org/10.1037/arc0000014

For more details see https://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2017/03/doi-display-guidelines-update-march-2017.html

General feedback Your writing style is good and easy to read. Your paragraphs are a little bit long particularly for the medium of a web document. consider breaking this up with features boxes and a few more images. At the moment you have a large list of references, however it looks like you could include this more with increases of in text referencing.

hope this makes sense, let me know if I did not explain myself clearly,

Good luck with your assignment
