Book 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 insufficient chapter.
  2. The main issue is the insufficient use of primary, peer-reviewed sources as citations.
  3. Well under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand.
  4. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.

Overview[edit source]

  1. Solid Overview.
  2. Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon.
  3. Engages reader interest by introducing a case study and/or example and/or using an image.
  4. Focus question(s) are under-developed. Unpack the key question; arguably, don't need the first two, but instead explain briefly and link to related resources such as protection motivation theory.

Theory – Breadth[edit source]

  1. Basic but sufficient coverage of relevant theory is provided.
  2. Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other relevant chapters).

Theory – Depth[edit source]

  1. Basic depth is provided about the selected theory(ies).
  2. Basic use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts.

Research – Key findings[edit source]

  1. Insufficient use of relevant psychological research. For example, see https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=protection+motivation+theory+covid-19
  2. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.

Research – Critical thinking[edit source]

  1. Insufficient 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. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    6. suggesting specific directions for future research
  3. Some claims are referenced.
  4. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).

Integration[edit source]

  1. There is basic integration between theory and research.

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Insufficient as a cohesive summary of what the best available psychological theory and research has to say about the topic.
  2. Add practical, take-home message(s).

Written expression – Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic.
    2. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
    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.
  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.
    2. Check and make correct use of commas.
    3. Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats').[2].
    4. Use serial commas[3] – they are part of APA style and agenerally recommended by grammaticists. See explanatory video (1 min).
    5. Check and correct use of that vs. who.
    6. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour).
  4. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed to fix typos (e.g., consistent formatting of COVID-19) and bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard.
    2. Remove unnecessary capitalisation.
  5. APA style
    1. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    2. Figures
      1. Figures are very well captioned.
      2. Figure captions should use this format: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example.
      3. Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text using APA style.
      4. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
    3. Citations use correct APA style.
    4. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Present in alphabetical order by surname.
      2. Check and correct use of capitalisation[4]
      3. Check and correct use of italicisation
      4. "Retrieved from" is no longer used (APA style, 7th ed.)
      5. Include page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–)
      6. Include hyperlinked dois
      7. Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section

Written expression – Learning features[edit source]

  1. Overall, the use of learning features is basic.
  2. Good 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. Good use of feature box(es).
  7. Very basic use of quiz(zes).
  8. Basic use of case studies or examples.
  9. Very good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section.
  10. Basic use of external links in the "External links" section. More specific links would be ideal.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~4 logged social contributions with direct links to evidence.
  2. 3 are basic comments towards the end of semester and tend to be on earlier chapters; 1 contribution was a lot of editing on a chapter page which I've rolled back because some of the changes were problematic (i.e., made the chapter worse). Best to work in a series of small edits, so it is easier to keep the useful ones.
