Headings[edit source]

Key points[edit source]

    2. an image
  3. No mention of psychopathy as a personality trait? Also perhaps mention how it fits into the dark triad.

  5. Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research
  6. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters.
  7. Consider including more examples/case studies

Social contributions[edit source]

Hello! This was such a fascinitating read, what an awesome chapter! When reading the relational agression section it reminded me of a concept taught in the forensic psychology unit about corporate psychopaths - as they are not outright physically agressive but can be very manipulative and domineering in the workplace. I will link a possible article here (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10551-015-2908-6) but I thought this could be am interesting concept for you to add as you finish off your chapter. Also I fixed some errors in your referencing. Good luck and love the good work :)

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 an excellent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.

Overview[edit source]

  1. Well developed Overview.
  2. It is debatable whether psychopathy is a disorder per se (have removed that part).
  3. A dramatic example is good to gain reader attention (e.g., Ted Bundy), but remember that far more common is everyday garden variety psychopathy.
  4. Clear focus question(s).

Theory — Breadth[edit source]

  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained.
  2. The chapter doesn't wander off into discussion of irrelevant theory.

Theory — Depth[edit source]

  1. Appropriate depth is provided about the selected theory(ies).
  2. Some of the theoretical discussion is quite dense.
  3. Key citations are well used.
  4. Tables and/or lists are used effectively to help clearly convey key theoretical information.
  5. Some useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts.
  6. More micro-examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts.

Research — Key findings[edit source]

  1. Relevant research is well reviewed.

Research — Critical thinking[edit source]

  1. Very good critical thinking about research is evident.

Integration[edit source]

  1. Discussion of theory and research is well integrated.

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Well developed summary.
  2. Add practical, take-home messages.

Written expression — Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good.
    2. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead:
      1. it is, most often, not needed at all, or
      2. use section linking.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
  3. Grammar
    1. 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.
  4. 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. (e.g., Dark Triad -> dark triad).
    3. 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).
    4. Figures and tables
      1. Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
      2. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text.
    5. Citations use correct APA style.
    6. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[1]
      2. Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)

Written expression — Learning features[edit source]

  1. Overall, the use of learning features is very good.
  2. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.
  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. No use of table(s).
  6. Good use of feature box(es).
  7. Excellent use of quiz(zes).
  8. Excellent use of case studies or examples.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~3 logged, useful, minor/moderate/major social contributions with direct links to evidence.
