Overall, this chapter does a reasonably good job of applying psychological theory and research to a real-world problem.
The main areas for potential improvement are to provide a more indepth review of research and more proofreading to improve the quality of written expression.
Appropriate depth is provided about the selected theory(ies).
Key citations are well used, although there seems to be a heavy reliance on Sullivan (2018).
Some useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts. Providing more background about the examples could help the reader to understand.
Overall, the quality of written expression is OK, but several sentences are not grammatically correct. UC Study Skills assistance is recommended to help improve writing skills.
"People" is often a better term than "individuals".
Layout
The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
Grammar
The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags). Grammar-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance.
Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[1].
Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags). Spell-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages.
More proofreading is needed to fix typos and bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard e.g.,
Remove unnecessary capitalisation.
Replace double spaces with single spaces.
APA style
Direct quotes need page numbers.
Citations use correct APA style.
References are not in full APA style. For example:
Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.
No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters (e.g., emotional contagion). Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
Basic use of image(s).
No use of table(s).
Good use of feature box(es).
No use of quiz(zes).
Good use of case studies or examples. Some more explanation of the examples would be helpful (e.g., Białystok).

If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.
The chapter title but not the sub-title is used in the name of the presentation - the latter would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding.
