For the Frustration and anger, I see you have just lockdowns so far, It would be interesting from the anti-vaxxers point of view and also vice versa peoples frustration and anger towards the anti vaxxers. I imagine there is a lot of anger from both sides trying to cope (U3202710 (discuss • contribs) = U3202710) 28/08, 21.06
Hello there, I enjoyed reading your chapter!, just a suggestion I know that you have included your takeaway points for your conclusion but I think it would be beneficial to also provide some practical takeaways in your conclusion which address each of your focus questions. Good luck! -U3202315 (discuss• contribs) 18:30, 17 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Well developed 2-level heading structure, with meaningful headings that directly relate to the core topic
The Overview should not have sub-headings
The key content is sections 3 to 5. There is a good chance you'll run into the maximum word count, so look to keep the content currently in sections 1 to 2 brief.
Avoid providing too much background information (e.g., about COVID-19). 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 on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title.
Overview - Consider adding:
a description of the problem and what will be covered
examples of the range of emotions people have experienced during the pandemic, such as through a case study
focus questions
an image
For sections which include sub-section include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
Key points are reasonably well developed for most sections, with relevant citations
The content about emotions during the pandemic appears to be the current strength of this chapter
Excellent focus on "solutions" - how to regulate emotion during the pandemic. Also consider exercise. And different forms of social contact.
Strive to balance and integrate theory and research
Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
Conclusion (the most important section):
hasn't been developed
what might the take-home, practical messages be?
in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title?

Overall, this is a very good chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.
This focus question isn't needed: "*Why do we have emotions and what are the core psychological theories of emotion?" (too general). Concentrate on the COVID-specific impacts on emotion.
Consider adding a case study or example to help engage reader interest.
There is too much general theoretical material about basic theories of emotion, with insufficient application to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, summarise and link to further information (such as other book chapters or Wikipedia articles) and focus on the specific topic (i.e., the sub-title question). There appears to be little connection between sections 2 and 3. Perhaps rewrite this section to focus on cognitive appraisal theory?
The previous comment aside, the chapter does an excellent job of explaining how a range of emotions, both positive and negative, have been impacted by COVID-19 and how these might be coped with.
Overall, the quality of written expression is good to very good.
Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes.
Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
"People" is often a better term than "individuals".
Layout
The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections.
Grammar, spelling, and proofreading are generally very good.

Audio communication is clear and well paced. Excellent pauses between sentences. This helps the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
Excellent intonation to enhance listener interest and engagement.
