Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/Community resilience

Initial suggestions

@U3213682: Thanks for tackling this topic.

Some initial suggestions:

• Check out previous psychological resilience chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work.
• Consider what case studies/scenarios might be relevant e.g., community resilience to natural disasters
• If you would prefer to focus on a more specific context for community resilience, rather than in general, let me know and we can renegotiate the topic.

Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along.

Peer comment

Hello,

I find it really important that you mention climate change under your topic. I suggest looking at how communities close to the equator can foster "climate resilience". Especially in light of the unjust and disproportionate effects this has on their communities compared to those in more safeguarded locations Sireyes (discuss • contribs) 13:44, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Title The title is correctly worded and formatted The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted Headings Basic, 3-level heading structure Could be improved by expanding the top-level and next-level headings The headings seem to emphasise specific groups/examples - these can be useful as case studies but the topic is more about the psychology theory and research pertaining to CR Top-level headings could be more closely aligned with the focus questions Overview Move scenario in feature box to start to help catch reader interest. Consider adding a figure to the scenario. Includes image and accessible description of the problem/topic Consider alerting reader to relevant psychological theory/research Focus questions are promising and aligned with topic Key points Excellent – key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations Promising balance of theory, research, and applied examples Be wary of "overdoing" minority group resilience Consider embedding links to relevant chapters about psychological resilience (which is usually understand as individual resilience) Conclusion (the most important section): Well underway Provide a take-home message for each focus question Figure A relevant figure is presented Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text Figure(s) are cited at least once in the main text Learning feature Promising use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters Promising use of examples/case studies Excellent use of quiz question(s) References Very good For APA referencing style, check and correct: italicisation Resources See also Excellent External links Excellent User page Excellent – used effectively Excellent description about self provided Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn.

Small tweak on Figures

Hi Robbie @U3213682, Your new Figure looks great :)

Just in case you missed it - You now have two Figures with Caption "Figure 2"

And I couldn't find a callout/in-text reference to your (now) Figure 3 - hand holding image.

Great chapter though - clear and well researched :)

All the best, Cheers, Jorja -- JorjaFive (discuss • contribs) 11:36, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi @JorjaFive:, great catch. I forgot to update my callouts when I modified my figures. Thank you! U3213682 (discuss • contribs) 13:11, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Book chapter review and feedback

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 Overall, this is an excellent chapter. It 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 Clear focus question(s) Theory A very good range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters in this category: Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Resilience) Very good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) No use of tables and/or lists are to help clearly convey key theoretical information Excellent use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Key citations are well used Research Good review of relevant research, but more is possible here e.g., what about systematic reviews etc.? e.g., https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5693357/ Good critical thinking about relevant research is evident Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies discussing the direction of relationships considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations Claims are referenced Integration Excellent integration between theory and research Conclusion Very good summary and conclusion Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is excellent See my copyedits for a few suggestions about where extra words can be eliminated Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead: it is, most often, not needed at all, or use section linking Layout The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections Grammar, spelling, and proofreading are excellent Use serial commas[1] – they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. See explanatory video (1 min) APA style Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc. 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 Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text Citations use correct APA style List multiple citations in alphabetical order by first author surname References use correct APA style Learning features Very good use of learning features Very good 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 even 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. Good use of image(s) No use of table(s) Excellent use of feature box(es) Basic use of quiz(zes) Good use of case studies or examples Excellent use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Excellent use of external links in the "External links" section Social contribution ~12+ logged, useful, mostly major social contributions with direct links to evidence

Multimedia presentation feedback

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.

Overall Overall, this is a very good presentation Overview An opening slide with the title and sub-title is displayed and narrated — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation This presentation has a basic introduction to engage audience interest A context for the topic is established Consider using a practical example (case study or scenario) to help communicate the application of the phenomenon Focus questions and/or an outline of topics are presented on a slide but are not narrated Content 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 makes very good use of relevant psychological theory The presentation makes implied use of relevant psychological research; ideally make more explicit use of research The presentation includes citations to support claims The presentation makes basic use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice Conclusion A Conclusion slide is presented with very good take-home message(s) What are the practical take-home message(s) that we can use to help improve our everyday lives based on the best available psychological theory and research about this topic? Audio The audio is easy to follow The presentation makes good use of narrated audio Audio communication is well paced The narration is well practiced and/or performed Audio recording quality was good Review microphone set-up to achieve higher recording quality (e.g., mouse/keyboard clicks were audible) The narrated content is well matched to the target topic (see content) (but lacks research review) Video Overall, visual display quality is very good The presentation makes good use of text and image based slides The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read The visual communication is supplemented in a basic way by images. Also consider using diagrams. The presentation is well produced using simple tools The visual content is well matched to the target topic (see content) (but lacks research review) Meta-data The chapter sub-title but not the chapter title is used in the name of the presentation. The title would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. A written description of the presentation is provided Excellent use of time codes Links to and from the book chapter are provided Licensing Image sources and their copyright status are communicated A copyright license for the presentation is provided

Grammatical comments

@U3213682:, @Jtneill: Suppose the topic had been phrased differently, e.g. "What makes a resilient community?", "The features of a resilient community", etc. Jtneill, I understand you choose the exact wording of the title and topic? The fourth sentence of the resource reads "Yet, their social capacities, shared goals, and common knowledge resulted in a level of community resilience that facilitated effective recovery efforts." If you try rewording it without nominalized adjective 'resilience', then you end up with something more concise and clean, like The community recovered quickly because of its social capacities, shared goals, and common knowledge. I think this is a matter of how the assignment is posed. Phrasing like community resilience tends to encourage the sort of style represented by the sentence I quoted. If the topic is community resilience itself then there's nothing to write about unless the student invents a more specific topic, as in the alternate titles I suggested. AP295 (discuss • contribs) 09:57, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

In other words, the phrasing should not make a nominal adjective such as resilience the subject itself. We already know what the word resilience means. One feels like they're trying to add to a dictionary. AP295 (discuss • contribs) 10:05, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

@AP295: Helpful suggestions, thanks. Feel free to comment on draft wording for 2024 topics: Motivation and emotion/Book/2024. Some topics are intended to more general "gateway" topics which lead into more specific related topics. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 23:13, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
