Feedback[edit source]

Hey! I found a page on positive psychology which might be helpful when talking about theories of coping strategies. I have also found a website that provides a brief explanation of the different types of positive psychology interventions which I have used for my own book chapter. I hope this helps! https://positivepsychology.com/positive-psychology-interventions/ --Taylor Mamukic (discusscontribs) 00:12, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there! I just wanted to say that it may be beneficial to look at early research on this topic and how it has developed over time. For example, you may find this article helpful. It is titled "the relationship between coping and emotion: implications for theory and research" by Folkman & Lazarus in 1988. you can find it with this link https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0277953688903954

FYI, I added the title to this page. ---- Jtneill - Talk - c 02:25, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Social Contribution[edit source]

Hey there, I really hope you manage to finish this, the content is so interesting :) I would suggest adding a couple of more references, as well as making sure you are expanding on all of your brilliant ideas :) Good luck! --U3175502 (discusscontribs) 07:59, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Heading casing[edit source]

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for sentence casing. For example, the wikitext should be:

== Cats and mice ==

rather than

== Cats and Mice ==

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. Problematic - sub-title didn't match the book table of contents - fixed now.
  2. Capitalisation of the title/sub-title has been corrected to be consistent with the book table of contents

User page[edit source]

  1. Created
  2. About me
    1. Description about self provided
    2. Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks.
  3. Add link to book chapter

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. None summarised with link(s) to evidence.

Section headings[edit source]

  1. The Overview and Conclusion should not have sub-headings.
  2. Basic, 1-level heading structure - could benefit from further development, perhaps using a 2-level structure.
  3. Headings need to better match the topic sub-title (which was not about chronic illness). CI could be used as an example or case study. Alternatively, we can negotiate a change of topic. But this chapter is about: "Coping and emotion - What is the relationship between coping and emotion?"
  4. Aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Overview and Conclus, with up to a similar number of sub-headings for large sections.
  5. See earlier comment about Heading casing.

Key points[edit source]

  1. Some promising development, but lack of alignment between official sub-title for this page and the planned content.
  2. Overview is promising - Consider adding:
    1. an example or case study.
  3. Remove or adapt generic template content.
  4. Consider including more examples/case studies.
  5. Conclusion (the most important section) has limited development.

Image[edit source]

  1. An image (figure) is presented.
  2. Caption
    1. does not use APA style.
    2. explains how the image connects to key points being made in the main text.
  3. Cite each figure at least once in the main text.
  4. Consider increasing image size so that it is easier to read.

References[edit source]

  1. OK
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. italicisation
    2. doi formatting

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also
    1. Contains a mixture of internal and external links - move external links to an "External links" section
    2. Use bullet-points
    3. Rename links so that they are more user friendly
    4. Include source in brackets after link
    5. Also link to relevant book chapters
    6. For more assistance with this, see the skills taught in Tutorial 1

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, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this chapter does a good job of applying psychological theory and research to a real-world problem.
  2. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, integrated, and explained.
  2. There is too probably much general theoretical material (e.g., about coping and emotion as separate constructs). Instead, summarise and link to further information (such as other book chapters or Wikipedia articles), to allow this chapter to focus on the specific topic (i.e., the sub-title question).

Research[edit source]

  1. Overall, this chapter provides a gppd overview of relevant research.
  2. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
  3. When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicating the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
  4. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good.
    2. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
  2. Learning features
    1. Format bullet-points and numbered lists, per Tutorial 1.
    2. No use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example.
    3. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
    4. Use in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters.
    5. Very good use of image(s).
    6. Very good use of table(s).
    7. Basic use of feature box(es).
    8. No use of quiz(zes).
  3. Grammar
    1. Use serial commas[1] - they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's a 1 min. explanatory video.
    2. Check and make correct use of commas.
  4. Spelling
    1. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour).
  5. Proofreading
    1. Remove unnecessary capitalisation.
    2. Replace double spaces with single spaces.
  6. APA style
    1. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    2. Figures and tables
      1. Use APA style for Figure captions. See example.
      2. Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
    3. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. When citing a source with two authors there should be no comma between the author names.
      2. When citing multiple sources in parentheses they should be separated by semi-colons.
      3. If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either:
        1. in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or
        2. in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020)
      4. Select up to a maximum of three citations per point (i.e., avoid citing four or more citations to support a single point).
    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. Include hyperlinked dois.
      4. Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section.
