Suggestion[edit source]

Hi there! PBC is a very fascintating topic! I noticed that there was not much applied research for your area of focus. Here is a very fascinting study that highlights how PBC can effect motivation/intentions for exercise behaviours (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1469029204000330). Good luck on completing your chapter :)

Hey! This topic is super interesting, but I noticed that you don't have one of the core articles about learned helplessness. It was super unethical and pretty sad for the dogs but interesting nonetheless. Essentialy the dogs couldn't stop being zapped by the shocks and learned to no longer resist. So they had no behavioural control and as a result no motivation to escape the stimuli https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/pdf/10.1146/annurev.me.23.020172.002203 --U3202984 (discusscontribs) 12:09, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Chapter review and feedback[edit source]

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[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient chapter.
  2. Under the maximum word count.
  3. The main areas for potential improvement are that the written expression is very abstract. Ideally, the chapter could be rewritten is simpler terms, with more examples, to make it more accessible and interesting to a lay audience.
  4. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.

Overview[edit source]

  1. Basic Overview.
  2. Where does the quote end?
  3. Explain the problem or phenomenon more clearly.
  4. The relationship with self-efficacy seems like a side-issue and doesn't warrant a focus question.
  5. Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest.

Theory — Breadth[edit source]

  1. Good coverage of relevant theory is provided.
  2. Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters in this category: Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Self-control).

Theory — Depth[edit source]

  1. The theory could be worded in a more accessible way and abbreviated.
  2. Tables and/or lists could be used to more effectively to help clearly convey key theoretical information.
  3. More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts.

Research — Key findings[edit source]

  1. Relevant research is reviewed.
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal.
  3. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.

Research — Critical thinking[edit source]

  1. Basic critical thinking about research is evident.
  2. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. discussing the direction of relationships
    3. considering the strength of relationships
    4. acknowledging limitations
    5. suggesting specific directions for future research
  3. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).

Integration[edit source]

  1. There is good integration between theory and research.

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Insufficient summary because it is abstract and vague.
  2. Consider reminding the reader about the importance of the problem or phenomenon of interest.
  3. Add practical, take-home message(s).

Written expression — Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic.
    2. A lot of the written expression is quite abstract, which makes this a difficult read for an unfamiliar reader. Consider ways of simplifying the written expression to make it more accessible to a wider audience. This is the essence of science communication.
    3. 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.
    4. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
    5. Avoid overly emotive language (e.g,. incredibly) in science-based communication.
    6. Abbreviations
      1. Check and correct grammatical formatting for abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e., et al., etc.).
  2. APA style
    1. Direct quotes need page numbers - even better, write in your own words.
    2. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    3. Figures
      1. Figures are very well captioned.
      2. Figure captions use the correct format.
      3. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
    4. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either:
        1. in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or
        2. in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020)
    5. Check and correct consistency of formatting across references.

Written expression — Learning features[edit source]

  1. Overall, the use of learning features is basic.
  2. No use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding 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. Good use of image(s).
  5. No use of table(s).
  6. No use of feature box(es).
  7. Good use of quiz(zes).
  8. No use of case studies or examples.
  9. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section.
  10. Basic use of external links in the "External links" section.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~7 logged, useful, minor to moderate social contributions with direct links to evidence.
