Comments[edit source]

Hey, during my research for the chapter I am doing on Music and Study I found an article on the appeal of sad music that may be useful for your article on music and emotional regulation. The link is: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S019745561630082X Hope this helps. --U3182476 (discusscontribs) 04:52, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Music Therapy[edit source]

It would be nice to see some studies where music has been used in a therapeutic context to assist with emotion regulation. A good starting point for more information might be-Australia’s industry peak body for music therapy the Australian Music Therapy Association (AMTA) website; https://www.austmta.org.au/--Hill Sarah Louise (discusscontribs) 02:35, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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

User page[edit source]

  1. Created
  2. Used effectively
  3. About me
    1. 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.
  4. Link provided to book chapter

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Very good
  2. Summarised with indirect link(s) to evidence.
  3. 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. Overall, well developed.
  2. Basic, 2-level heading structure - could benefit from further development (e.g., is there meant to be a music sub-section in the Introduction?)
  3. I suggest changing "Introduction" to something more descriptive or focused, especially given that there is already an "Overview". Some of what you might be planning for the Introduction could probably instead go into the Overview, so that the chapter go more directly into key content.

Key points[edit source]

  1. The latter sections are well developed - these are the most important sections.
  2. For the earlier sections, particularly the Introduction, not as much content will be needed. Avoid providing too much background information. Briefly summarise generic concepts and provide internal wiki links to further information. Then focus most of the content on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title.
  3. I like the use of genre and match between listener preference and genre - that's important e.g., see research about the emotional effects of heavy-metal music for heavy metal fans. If you DM me, I can share a recent UC Honours thesis on this topic which could provide some useful references.
  4. Good development of key points for each section, with relevant citations.
  5. Consider including more examples/case studies.
  6. Conclusion (the most important section) hasn't been developed.

Image[edit source]

  1. An image (figure) is presented.
  2. Caption
    1. uses 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.

References[edit source]

  1. Very good
  2. A mixture of referencing styles are used - choose either APA style or wiki style but not both.
  3. Remove "Retrieved from" (a change for 7th edition APA style)
  4. Include dois where available.

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also
    1. Use bullet-points
  2. External links
    1. Use bullet-points
    2. Rename links so that they are more user friendly
    3. Include source in brackets after link

Reference suggestion[edit source]

Hi, while working on my book chapter regarding mood management theory, media consumption and the effects it has on mood, I came across a peer reviewed journal article that discusses the impact that music engagement has on affect and thought it may be useful. Here is a link to it: Chin, T., & Rickard, N. (2014). Beyond positive and negative trait affect: Flourishing through music engagement. Psychology of Well-Being, 4(1), 1–13. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13612-014-0025-4 --U3190415 (discusscontribs) 23:29, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback[edit source]

Hey! I found this article on 'Listening to Music: Helping Children Regulate Their Emotions and Improve Learning in the Classroom'. I hope this helps with your research!


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 is a very good chapter that successfully uses psychological theory to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. Some research is included, but this aspect could be strenghtened.
  2. This chapter over uses non-peer reviewed sources are over-used. Move non-peer reviewed links into the external links section.
  3. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, integrated, and explained. Nevertheless, theoretical perspectives could be expanded (e.g., what happens to the brain whilst listening to music?).
  2. The lists of emotions were unnecessary, since most of these emotions aren't subsequently discussed.
  3. Utilise primary, peer-reviewed sources.

Research[edit source]

  1. Overall, this chapter provides a basic 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 good professional standard.
    2. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead, use section linking.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
    2. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
  3. Learning features
    1. Good 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). Perhaps more music snippets could be added.
    4. Basic (probably, unnecessary) use of table(s).
    5. Basic use of feature box(es).
    6. No use of quiz(zes).
    7. No use of case studies.
  4. Grammar
    1. Use serial commas[1] - it is part of APA style and generally recommended by grammaticists.
    2. Check and correct use of affect vs. effect.
    3. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[2].
  5. APA style
    1. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    2. In general, do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    3. Figures and tables
      1. Use APA style to refer to each Table and each Figure (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation).
      2. Use APA style for Table captions. See example.
    4. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. 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)
      2. Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets.
    5. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of italicisation.
