Hi there,
I have found a relevant peer-reviewed journal article that may be able to help you. It can be found by clicking on this link and signing in via your UC institution login. I have also found a highly relevant Ted Talks presentation video that can be found by clicking on this link. These two sources provide in-depth information on the relationship between mindfulness and creativity which can be helpful for developing your book chapter. --Vertese (discuss • contribs) 03:36, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi there,
It looks like this section of your chapter has nothing in it so far, and because there is a need to discuss theory in the chapter it will be important to have this section well written. I'm not sure how far you have gotten with this and I apologise if this is already going over things you are currently writing, but I hope this is helpful in some way nonetheless.
As a note, all links to references can be accessed via APAPsyArticles, logging in via the UC Library databases.
One place to consider starting at is writing about mindfulness as part of implicit motivation. This is mentioned in the textbook on p407 (Chapter 16) but implicit motives affecting behaviour is a good starting point for theory. There's not much to go on in the book per se, but writing about implicit motivations may help.
Another avenue to potentially write about is here - https://doi.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fteo0000027. Of particular note is how this reference talks about how Edward Langer approached mindfulness from a cognitive perspective, but also about how Langer's work compares with relational mindfulness (another theory about mindfulness tied to Eastern thought). Given that Ellen Langer is a bit of a big name in regard to cognitive mindfulness you might be able to find a video to link to for your 'See also' section, depending on if you think it lines up with your chapter.
Finally, I found this piece on mindfulness and Buddhist emptiness theory. It's pretty new so the only piece I found so far is here: https://doi.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Frel0000079. The idea that Eastern psychology could influence how Western psychology is approached would be an interesting idea to present.

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.
There is too much general theoretical material about mindfulness in general - and too little about mindfulness and creativity. Instead, summarise mindfulness and link to further information (such as other book chapters or Wikipedia articles), to allow this chapter to focus on the specific topic (i.e., mindfulness and creativity).
Overall, the quality of written expression is basic.
"People" is often a better term than "individuals".
Reduce use of weasel words (e.g., "prove to be" -> "be") which bulk out the text, but don't enhance meaning.
Avoid overly emotive language (e.g,. incredible) in science-based communication.
Avoid starting sentences with a citation unless the author is particularly pertinent. Instead, it is more interesting for the the content/key point to be communicated, with the citation included along the way or, more typically, in parentheses at the end of the sentence.
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.
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.
Format bullet-points and numbered lists, per Tutorial 1.

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.
Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section.
The presentation addresses the topic.
An appropriate amount of content is presented - not too much or too little.
The presentation is well structured.
The presentation makes good use of relevant psychological theory. Ideally, more detail about the specific (how mindfulness can affect creativity) could be presented.
The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological research. Including key citations could help to map the key points to research.
The presentation makes very good use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice.
The chapter title is used, but the sub-title (or a shortened version of it) is not 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.
Links to and from the book chapter are provided.
The presentation is incorrectly categorised as being for kids. This introduces limitations, such as being unable to add the presentation to a playlist. More info.
