Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2022/Choice overload

Really interesting topic. Looking good!

Hi there,

This is a really interesting topic and I struggle with choice overload often.

An interesting term that might be of useful is Analysis Paralysis. It seems to be very similar to choice overload, but might help broaden your searches :)

Subtitle edits

Hi, It looks like you are well underway! Looking good. One thing you could do is edit the chapter subtitle so that it reads 'What is choice overload and what is the optimal amount of choice?'. U3216256 (discuss • contribs) 02:44, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Interesting Topic

Hello, I agree with u3131472 in that I also struggle with choice overload! I look forward to reading the chapter in full when you have finished writing it. No suggestions but to encourage you to keep going as you are :)

Title The title is correctly worded The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted The capitalisation of the title has been corrected to be consistent with the book table of contents User page Good Brief description about self provided – consider expanding 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. Link provided to book chapter Social contribution Good – at least one contribution has been made with direct link(s) to evidence Provide a summary of each contribution If adding the second or subsequent link to a page, create a direct link like this: View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page. For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions. Use a numbered list Headings Promising, 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development Key points Excellent – key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations Note that APA style is a down-style, so watch out for overcapitalisation (e.g., of theory names) Use Australian spelling (e.g,. customization -> customisation) APA 7th ed. style goes straight to First Author Surname et al. for citations with 3 or more authors Overview - Consider adding: an image an example or case study Good balance of theory and research Excellent use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters Avoid starting sentences with author names. Instead start with the key point and use the citation at the end, unless the author name is particularly important to the point being made. Promising use examples/case studies Conclusion Underway Figure Excellent – A relevant figure is presented and it is appropriately captioned Cite each figure at least once in the main text References Excellent Watch out for overcapitalisation (e.g., of theory names) Resources Excellent Watch out for overcapitalisation (use sentence casing)

Hi, the chapter is looking good, in the conclusion section, maybe consider some take away message to prevent a long paragraph of conclusion. The case study was nicely used. Jingru shao 0906 (discuss • contribs) 13:59, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is an excellent chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits. Overview Well developed Overview. Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon. Engages reader interest by using examples and a friendly style. Explains key term(s). Reasonably clear focus question(s). Theory – Breadth Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained. The chapter doesn't wander off into discussion of irrelevant theory. Theory – Depth Appropriate depth is provided about the selected theory(ies). Some useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts. Research – Key findings Relevant research is well reviewed. Research – Critical thinking Excellent critical thinking about research is evident. Claims are referenced. Integration Discussion of theory and research is well integrated. Conclusion Key points are well summarised. Clear take-home message(s). Written expression – Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very good. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences. Some sentences are unnecessarily wordy – strive for the simplest expression of the point being made. Some sentences are overly long; consider splitting them into shorter, separate sentences. "People" is often a better term than "individuals". Reduce use of weasel words which bulk out the text, but don't enhance meaning. Layout The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections. Grammar, spelling, and proofreading are very good. Use serial commas[1] – they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's an explanatory video (1 min). APA style is excellent 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). Figures Figures are very well captioned. Check and correct figure numbering. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1). Tables Table captions use APA style. Table captions should use APA style. See example. Tables are referred to using APA style. Refer to each Table using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation). Each Table is referred to at least once within the main text. Refer to each Table at least once within the main text (e.g., see Table 1). Citations use correct APA style. References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and correct use of capitalisation[2] Check and correct use of italicisation (do not italicise commas) Written expression – Learning features Overall, the use of learning features is excellent. Good use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. 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. Very good use of image(s). No use of table(s). Very good use of feature box(es). No use of quiz(zes). Excellent use of case studies or examples. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section. Good use of external links in the "External links" section. Social contribution ~5 logged, useful, moderate to major social contributions with somewhat direct links to evidence.

What an interesting topic! I know this is a late question but I would be interested in investigating still satisfying choice while not creating too much waste. One of the issues with fast fashion in particular is the amount of clothing that is thrown away ending up in landfills. Is the a way to make consumers still feel like they have been able to choose while minimising environmental impact?--U3037979 (discuss • contribs) 22:45, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
