COVID panic buying[edit source]

Have you thought about using COVID panic buying as a case study? ---- Jtneill - Talk - c 09:04, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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 (discusscontribs) 06:17, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested reading to consider[edit source]

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. (discusscontribs)

Hi Zandrine! Thanks, I'm enjoying researching my topic. I agree, that is an excellent article, it is already included in my topic development! --M.Pulford (discusscontribs) 13:18, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit source]

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 (discusscontribs) 09:55, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Above social contribution was left in the body of my topic development. I've moved it here to avoid confusion--M.Pulford (discusscontribs) 17:00, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Heading casing[edit source]

FYI, the recommended Wikiversity heading style uses sentence casing. For example:

Self-determination theory rather than Self-Determination Theory

Here's an example chapter with correct heading casing: Growth mindset development

  1. The title is correctly worded and formatted
  2. The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted
  3. Wording and capitalisation of the title has been corrected to be consistent with the book table of contents
  4. Wording and capitalisation of the sub-title has been corrected to be consistent with the book table of contents
  5. Author details removed - authorship is as per the page's editing history

User page[edit source]

  1. Created - minimal, but sufficient
  2. Brief description about self provided
  3. 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.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Excellent - summarised with direct link(s) to evidence

Headings[edit source]

  1. Well developed 2-level heading structure, with meaningful headings that directly relate to the core topic
  2. See earlier comment about Heading casing

Key points[edit source]

  1. Overview:
    1. currently the key points are more or less the same as the focus questions
    2. so, just provide a description of the problem and what will be covered, then the focus questions
    3. an example or case study can help to highlight/explain the issue/problem
  2. Direct quotes need page numbers (APA style) - even better, write in your own words
  3. Excellent use a table
  4. Use APA style for citations (e.g., no author initials, period after et al)
  5. Perhaps consider discussing and linking to FOMO
  6. Key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations
  7. Good balance of theory and research
  8. There seems to be reasonably good coverage of theory; strive to balance with review of relevant research
  9. 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.
  10. Excellent use of examples/case studies
  11. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. promising
    2. what might the take-home, practical messages be?
    3. in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title?

Figure[edit source]

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

References[edit source]

  2. Reeve (2018) probably shouldn't be a reference - instead use the textbook to identify relevant primary sources

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also
    1. Excellent
  2. External links
    1. Move academic sources into References and cite them in the main body

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:

Suggestion[edit source]

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 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/spc3.12596 --U3202984 (discusscontribs) 11:35, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Written expression — Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is good.
    2. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
  2. Layout
    1. See earlier comments about heading casing.
  3. Grammar
    1. Use serial commas[2] - they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's an explanatory video (1 min).
  4. APA style
    1. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    2. 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).
    3. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10).
    4. Direct quotes need page numbers - even better, write in your own words.
  5. Figures and tables
      1. Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text using APA style (e.g., see Figure 1).

      3. Figure captions use the correct format.
      4. Table captions should use APA style. See example.
    1. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. Check and correct formatting. For example, "(Wang. 2020)" should be "(Wang, 2020)".
      2. A comma is needed after "et al." when used in parentheses (i.e., "et al., year").
    2. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[3]
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation

Written expression — Learning features[edit source]

  1. Overall, the use of learning features is basic.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Basic use of image(s).
  5. Basic use of table(s).
  6. Basic use of feature box(es).
  7. Basic use of quiz(zes).
  8. Basic use of case studies or examples.
