Hi James, absolutely. As COVID-19 is accepted to be the first broadly researched modern pandemic (Loxton, M. et al, 2020), I have found that most of the current literature on panic buying is heavily situated around COVID-19. It may even enrich my chapter to search for resources in the literature that do not concern the COVID-19 pandemic. --M.Pulford (discuss • contribs) 06:17, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hello! Very excited for this as it is very relevant to current lockdown behaviour. I suggest reading this [1] article as it summarises the behavioural influences well
Proper source format to make it easier to cite:
Yuen, K., Wang, X., Ma, F. and Li, K., 2020. The Psychological Causes of Panic Buying Following a Health Crisis. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 17(10), p.3513.

Hi! I've found an article related to panic buying that may be of use to you.
Analysis of over-purchasing during Covid-19 using data from the UK and Republic of Ireland. Includes possible contributing factors to an increase in over-purchasing (income, psychological factors, distress, presence of children, threat sensitivity, mistrust of others) using a psychological model. Also includes comparisons between urban and rural communities, as well as across countries. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0246339
Hope this could be useful!

Hi I really enjoy your chapter so far but I do have a suggestion. For your section on 'How to prevent panic buying', I think it could be useful to include a section on education. Although government and retail intervention are great points, educating the public on why there is no need to panic buy and explaining consumer supply chains would be useful. Education could be described in radio or television ads, posters at stores, letters to households or website and digital marketing. I think this would be a great addition to your chapter! You could even use ACT Health's facebook page would supplied constant updates during the lockdown period. I hope this helps, if you have any questions please let me know :) --U3204463 (discuss • contribs) 09:55, 17 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

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.
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.
Key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations
Good balance of theory and research
There seems to be reasonably good coverage of theory; strive to balance with review of relevant research
Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters. This is particularly important for this chapter as there are several other chapters about closely related concepts.
Excellent use of examples/case studies
Conclusion (the most important section):
promising
what might the take-home, practical messages be?
in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title?
What a very real and immediate topic. Love it!
I would seriously consider if those pictures are 'legal' though Wikiversity simply because I noticed that when I used google images someone kept removing them from my page. Just a little tip. If they are licensed for wiki then you are all good.
Also, the quiz someone has popped below for your use is a great idea, and I would keep on trying to be more interactive with some colour. Check out my chapter for some inspo:

Hey! I actually did an assignment a while back to do with COVID19 restrictions and did a little on panic buying. One of the main reasons I found was to do with prescriptive and descriptive norms, The government is saying to do one thing, yet media is showing the complete opposite. Anyway give this article a read its really interesting

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. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.
Overall, this is a solid chapter that makes reasonably good use of psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
Reasonable depth is provided about the selected theory(ies).
In some places, this chapter is overly focused on panic buying in the context of COVID-19. However, panic buying during the COVID-19 pandemic can be a useful case study.
Key citations are well used.
Some useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts.
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).
Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10).
Direct quotes need page numbers - even better, write in your own words.
Figures and tables
Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text using APA style (e.g., see Figure 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. See example.
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.
