My peer is doing a chapter on mood management theory and media consumption, I think an interesting section to include could be tips and application after reading these points and learning about the effects of media consumption. #Emot20 (u3200789)

Types of media

[edit source]

Hi, this is looking good! Sorry if i skimmed over this, but maybe see/add if there is a difference between traditional media and social media?

Topic development feedback

[edit source]

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. Excellent
  2. FYI, have updated MMT in sub-title to make it shorter

User page

[edit source]
  1. Excellent - used effectively
  2. Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks.

Social contribution

[edit source]
  1. Excellent - summarised with direct link(s) to evidence.

Section headings

[edit source]
  1. Basic, 3-level structure; consider revising and building to a more balanced, elaborate 2-level structure
  2. Aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Overview and Conclusion, with up to a similar number of sub-headings for large sections.

Key points

[edit source]
  1. In general, too much general background material and too little about MMT.
  2. Overview - Consider adding:
    1. a description of the problem and what will be covered
    2. focus questions
    3. an image
    4. an example or case study
  3. Avoid providing too much background information (i.e., about media consumption and mood as separate constructs). Briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal wiki links to other book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content of this chapter directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title.
  4. Expand theory and research about MMT.
  5. Key points are reasonably well developed for most sections, with relevant citations.
  6. Consider including more examples/case studies.
  7. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. more detail about MMT
    2. What's the answer to: "What is mood management theory and how does it explain media consumption and its effects on mood?" in a nutshell?
  1. Excellent

References

[edit source]
  1. Good
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. capitalisation
    2. doi formatting - make dois active hyperlinks

Resources

[edit source]
  1. See also
    1. Good
  2. External links
    1. Include source in brackets after link

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is a solid chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. For additional feedback, see the following comments and [ these copyedits].
  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, integrated, and explained.
  1. Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.
  2. When describing important research findings, consider indicating the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
  3. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
  4. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is good.
    2. Reduce use of weasel words which bulk out the text, but don't enhance meaning (e.g., "evident to be based off" -> "based on").
    3. "People" is often a better term than "individuals"; similarly "participants" is preferred to "subjects".
    4. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead, use section linking.
    5. The chapter benefited from a well developed Overview and Conclusion, with clear focus question(s) and take-home messages.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
  3. Learning features
    1. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.
    2. 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.
    3. Very good use of image(s).
    4. Basi use of table(s).
    5. Excellent use of feature box(es).
    6. Excellent use of quiz(zes).
  4. Grammar
    1. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[1].
    2. Use serial commas[2] - it is part of APA style and generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's a 1 min. explanatory video.
    3. Check and make correct use of commas.
    4. Check and correct use of affect vs. effect.
  5. Spelling
    1. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour).
  6. APA style
    1. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10).
    2. In general, do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    3. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    4. Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used as an ironic comment, as slang, or as an invented or coined expression; use quotation marks only for the first occurrence of the word or phrase, not for subsequent occurrences" (APA 7th ed., 2020, p. 159).
    5. Figures and tables
      1. Refer to each Table and Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation).
    6. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Select up to a maximum of three citations per point (i.e., avoid citing four or more citations to support a single point).
      2. Multiple citations in parentheses should be listed in alphabetical order by first author surname.
    7. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of italicisation.
  1. ~7 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence
