Cultural impact, quote and enhancement[edit source]

This is looking really good, just a few things i have noticed. Number 1 the direct quotes that you have used havent got page numbers which is needed for APA referencing. Within the enhancement section it could be helpful to provide links to websites for the various strategies. Finally within the effects section adding some information about the impact of culture could be beneficial. I found this article which could help https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2008-08084-005. --U3187381 (discusscontribs) 01:12, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What are the physiological experiences of positive emotions?[edit source]

Could be interesting to look at what happens to us physiologically when we experience some of these positive emotions. --Jackson McNee (discusscontribs) 04:55, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback[edit source]

Hey! I found this link on 'Adolescents’ happiness-increasing strategies, temperament, and character: Mediation models on subjective well-being'. I thought it might be helpful in adding another dimension to your last heading. (The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]]) )

Hello! Great stuff so far, it was a fun read. I was thinking it would be nice to add a section about the physiological responses/neural connections associated with positive emotions. It would definitely add more depth to your points. I believe I read a touch about dopamine levels and brain structures related to positive emotions on this article about the broaden-and-build theory - which you have also introduced in this book chapter. Perhaps you could check it out to see if it's anything you'd like to include in your book chapter :) Comment by U3189154

Book chapter focus question

  • Consider adapting focus question to a singular question
  • Can include subquestions in addition to the focus question

Links to further research[edit source]

Hey, Had a look into some articles which may be useful for your chapter. This one 'Positive emotions broaden the scope of attention and thought-action repertoires' has some great information on the Broaden and Build theory that you already mentioned, as well as looking at some effects that positive emotions can have. Also, 'Positive emotions trigger upward spiral towards emotional wellbeing' which I found really interesting to red and had some great relevant information for you! An additional note: I think you could utilise a case study under the heading 'How can we enhance positive emotion' and use a fictional story type scenario to describe the process of one of the mentioned ways.

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 an excellent 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.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, integrated, and explained.
  2. The Reeve (2018) textbook is probably overused as a citation - instead, utilise primary, peer-reviewed sources.

Research[edit source]

  1. Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.
  2. Did you consult Dunker (1945)? If not, this should be a secondary citation.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is excellent.
    2. "People" is often a better term than "individuals"; similarly "participants" is preferred to "subjects".
    3. Use 3rd person perspective rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you")[1].
    4. 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.
    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. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
  3. Learning features
    1. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.
    2. Basic use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding more in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project (e.g., to chapters about different positive emotions).
    3. Good use of image(s).
    4. Very good use of table(s).
    5. Very good use of feature box(es).
    6. Very good use of quiz(zes).
  4. Excellent use of case studies or examples.
  5. Grammar, spelling, and proofreading are excellent.
  6. 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 for Figure captions. See example.
    4. Citations use correct APA style.
    5. References use correct APA style.
    6. References are not in full APA style. For example:
