Body Dsymorphia and Eating disorders[edit source]

Might be interesting to look into self-criticising that individuals with eating disorders and body dsymorphia experience.--U3177510 (discusscontribs) 12:52, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion[edit source]

Hey there! Adding on to the other comments here, there seems to be a topical discussion of self-criticism and psychopathology. Therefore, I just wanted to add that high self-criticism plays an important role in Social Anxiety Disorder. If you decide to add a section related to a variety of disorders, this article may help you discuss its role in Social Anxiety Disorder: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010440X14003423?casa_token=xIcpq6TqulgAAAAA:4tez_GGoo_qJKWIGl-29HHV8ZNnHNkzY8MvFRDRPkJ9X-_QMkL-4IV0Fpxw3pyPLsWtpZ5ehcTY This article provides evidence for the role of high self-criticism in Social Anxiety Disorder and is from Lancu et al., 2015 Hope this helps with any new additions! :) --U3190016 (discusscontribs) 04:55, 14 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. Excellent

User page[edit source]

  1. Excellent

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Excellent

Section headings[edit source]

  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing.
  2. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
  3. Promising 2-level heading structure - could benefit from further development.

Key points[edit source]

  1. Overview and Conclusion plans are excellent
  2. I'm not convinced that Maslow's hierarchy of needs is the best theory for this topic.
  3. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters.
  4. There is a lack of development around "Self-criticism and its effects on human emotions" - which is vital, because this is the topic.
  5. Excellent focus on examples and case studies.

Image[edit source]

  1. Excellent
  2. Cite each figure at least once in the main text.

References[edit source]

  1. Good.

Images[edit source]

Hi, love the look of your chapter so far. However, I would suggest making the images slightly smaller. The large images give the chapter a messy feel, and having smaller images, of the same size would give your chapter a cleaner, more professional feel.

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 promising chapter that does a reasonably good job of applying psychological theory and research to a real-world problem.
  2. The final sections, including the Conclusion, were incomplete (at the time of submission).
  3. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Several relevant theories are selected, described, and explained.
  2. The chapter presents a balanced view of the potential benefits and problems associated with self-criticism.
  3. The chapter emphasises the relationship between destructive self-criticism and psychological disorders. However, this probably to the exclusion of more everyday/normal relations between self-criticism and emotion, particularly specific emotions (e.g., anger, shame, self-compassion)

Research[edit source]

  1. Overall, this chapter provides a good overview of relevant research.
  2. Several relevant research studies are summarised. Ideally, seek to synthesise the findings across several similar studies, rather than providing a lot of depth about a few studies (i.e., describe the forest rather than trees).
  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. Use 3rd person perspective rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you")[1].
    3. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead, use section linking.
    4. The lack of Conclusion meant that all-important take-home messages weren't provided.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is reasonably well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
    2. For numbered lists, use Wikiversity formatting per Tutorial 1.
  3. Learning features
    1. Basic use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive.
    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.
    3. Good use of image(s).
    4. Basic use of table(s).
    5. Very good use of feature box(es).
    6. Good use of quiz(zes).
    7. Basic use of case studies or examples. More examples would be helpful (e.g., how could someone move from destructive to constructive self-criticism and what might the emotional impacts be?)
  4. Grammar
    1. Check and correct use of that vs. who.
  5. APA style
    1. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    2. Figures and tables
      1. Use APA style to refer to each Table and each Figure (e.g., do not use italics).
    3. 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 (e.g., Smith et al., 2020)
    4. References use correct APA style.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~17 logged, useful (minor to moderate), social contributions with direct links to evidence

Communication[edit source]

  2. The presentation is sometimes hard to follow because so much visual and auditory content is presented so quickly.
