Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings (or sentence casing). For example, use: ==Cats and dogs== rather than ==Cats and Dogs== -- Jtneill - Talk - c 03:34, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Title and sub-title Excellent User page Created, with description about self I've added a link to the book chapter Social contribution Well summarised, with links to evidence Section headings Basic, 1-level heading structure - could benefit from further development, perhaps using a 2-level structure. Key points Basic key points are developed for each section, except Conclusion. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles. Image Good Cite each figure at least once in the main text. References Good.

Feedback

Your page is looking seriously fantastic at the moment and is a really interesting read.

• under the heading Combining the theories; I made a flow chart to demonstrate the process as you described it. If you think this can be improved you can make your own using www.draw.io or send me a message on my user discussions page.

• under the heading qualitative research; you begin by discussing the physiological effects of SCF. I don't think this belongs here and could be its own heading.

• under the heading qualitative research; you discuss Braverman and Blumentahl-Barby (2012) you could expand this and discuss the implications of the study.

• A way to structure the heading examples and evidence would be to separate it into 2 headings;

Evidence

• Physiological effects
• quantitative research

Examples

• The concord effect
• Gambling addiction

• under the heading conclusion; you do not have any references to support what you are saying, make sure to support what you say even if you have explained with references earlier. This is applicable to you whole page; when you read through next look for places you can add references to support what you are saying.

• Under the heading References; really fantastic APA! there was one duplicate reference aside from that it looks really good.

Hello!

I would be interested in learning more about the effects of sunk costs motivation from a individual level. Is there any case studies involving interviews with business leaders or government officials who fell victim to this cognitive bias? Perhaps a section on loss-aversion or the effects of framing effects could be interesting when examining this topic?

Was an interesting read so far and thank you for your efforts here

Regards CMIV

This is a really good chapter, however I feel it would be better if the combination of theories proceeding the individual components as I feel they are better explained when you have a clear idea of how they all interact, or at the least have the components under headings of cognition and behaviour so it's more evident of what goes where. Also under optimism I'm not sure whether you meant to use overestimate or whether you meant underestimate whilst talking about the potential for negative effects --Haylzw (discuss • contribs) 03:02, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

this looks like a seriously good book chapter - you should be very happy with it! My one suggestion would be with the conclusion. My understanding is that no new information should be displayed in the conclusion - and as such no use of subheading or references. I do like how you are using the space to answer your focus question though! all the best --U3100384 (discuss • contribs) 05:20, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Chapter review and feedback

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 Overall, this is an excellent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits. Theory Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained. Perhaps also consider synthetic happiness Research Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory. 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. Greater emphasis on major reviews and meta-analyses would be helpful. Written expression Written expression Overall, the chapter is very well written. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences. The Conclusion could be strengthened by abbreviating; perhaps also consider how the SCF can be avoided or prevented. The chapter benefited from a well developed Overview and Conclusion, with clear focus question(s) and take-home messages. Layout Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings. The conclusion should not have sub-headings. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections. Learning features Good use of quizzes. The questions could be even more effective learning tools if they are embedded within their corresponding section. Excellent use of interwiki links and embedded links to other book chapters. Excellent use of images, especially Figure 2. Good use of tables. Good use of feature boxes. Good use of case studies or examples. Grammar, spelling, and proofreading are very good. APA style Use APA style when citing figures and tables. Citations use correct APA style. References are not in full APA style. For example: A comma should follow the volume number (not a period). Check and correct use of italicisation. Social contribution ~9 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Canvas site.

Overall Overall, this is a basic presentation. This presentation makes use of simple tools. The presentation is over the maximum time limit - content beyond 3 mins is ignored for marking purposes. Structure and content Narrate the Title slide, to help the viewer understanding the focus and goal of the presentation. More examples would be helpful. Add and narrate an Overview slide (e.g., with focus questions), to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered. A Conclusion slide is presented with a take-home message(s). Communication The presentation makes effective use of text and image based slides with narrated audio. Well paced. Some of the font size should be larger to make it easier to read. The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images. The visual communication could be improved by including some relevant images. Production quality The chapter title but not the sub-title are used in the video title - the latter would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. The chapter title and sub-title are used on the opening slide - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Audio recording quality is problematic - seems to fade in and out during animations. Visual display quality was OK. Image source links are provided. Also indicate the copyright status of each image. A copyright license for the presentation is provided. A link to the book chapter is provided. A link from the book chapter is provided. A written description of the presentation is not provided.
