Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/Emotion across the lifespan

Topic selection

@Taliastefanoski: Thanks for tackling this topic. Some initial suggestions:

• Check out other related chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work:
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Developmental
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Emotion
• What psychological theory(ies) can help to understand? What is the main research in this area?

Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 08:35, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Talia, super interested in your topic of choice! What age group across the lifespan would you say is the most vital in emotional development?--U3229619 (discuss • contribs) 12:47, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Heading casing

Hi Taliastefanoski. FYI, the recommended Wikiversity heading style uses sentence casing. For example: Self-determination theory rather than Self-Determination Theory Here's an example chapter with correct heading casing: Growth mindset development -- Jtneill - Talk - c 11:18, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Peer comment

Hello, I find this really fascinating, are there any circumstances whereby emotional development may not be restricted within the set time frames for some people i.e., due to trauma reasone etc. ? Sireyes (discuss • contribs) 13:39, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Title The title is correctly worded and formatted The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted Headings This structure works Probably ageing should also be added Perhaps consider using a table to summarise notable dimensions of emotion across these developmental stages (e.g., as part of the Conclusion) ( optional) Overview Useful ideas Add a scenario in a feature box at the start to help catch reader interest Add a brief, evocative description of the problem/topic Consider adding an image to the scenario or case study to help catch reader interest Key points The first half or 2/3rds has reasonably good development of key points with relevant citations Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research Conclusion (the most important section):## Hasn't been developed What might the take-home, practical messages be? (What are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?) Use Australian spelling (e.g., ize -> ise) 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 - Figure should be capitalised Learning feature Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters Focus the quiz question(s) on the take-home messages for each focus question Consider including more examples/case studies, table(s) etc. References OK but messy Are there any systematic reviews about this topic? For APA referencing style, check and correct: capitalisation italicisation include dois page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) Resources See also Very good I've tweaked the formatting External links Very good Use sentence casing 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. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks. Link provided to book chapter Social contribution Excellent – at least three different types of contributions with direct link(s) to evidence

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

Overall Overall, this is a good to very good chapter. It makes very good use of psychological theory and basic use of research to address a real-world phenomenon or problem. Well under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand For additional feedback, see the following comments and https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Motivation_and_emotion%2FBook%2F2023%2FEmotion_across_the_lifespan&diff=2578168&oldid=2574577 these copyedits] Overview Well developed Engages reader interest by introducing a case study and/or scenario with an image in a feature box Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon The focus questions are all very similar; suggest developing more distinct questions Theory A very good range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Builds somewhat on previous, related chapters Good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) No use of tables, figures, and/or lists are to help clearly convey key theoretical information Lack of sufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Reasonably good use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Basic review of relevant research More detail about key studies would be ideal Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? Greater emphasis on effect sizes could be helpful. Lack of sufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Insufficient 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 pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Many claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) Integration Basic integration between theory and research The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research Conclusion Excellent summary and conclusion Key points are well summarised Summarise key points Clear take-home message(s) Useful figure; Convert it into an editable table and present much earlier Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very good Layout The chapter structure needs work e.g., remove single sub-sections Grammar The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags) Consider using a grammar checking tool Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance APA style Write numbers under 10 using words (e.g., five). Express numbers 10 and over using numerals (e.g., 10). Use serial commas[1] – they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. See explanatory video (1 min) > Figures Figures are well captioned Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example: Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses References use almost correct APA style - check for consistency Learning features Good use of learning features Basic 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. Basic 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. Basic use of image(s) Basic use of table(s) Very good use of feature box(es) Promising use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) Very good use of case studies or examples Excellent use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Very good use of external links in the "External links" section Use sentence casing Social contribution ~4 logged, useful, minor social contributions with direct links to evidence

Overall Overall, this is a very good presentation Overview An opening slide with the title is displayed. Also display and narrate the sub-title — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. This presentation has a basic introduction to engage audience interest A basic context for the presentation is established The focus questions are very similar 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 is well structured The presentation makes good use of relevant psychological theory The presentation makes no explicit use of relevant psychological research. Ideally, make more explicit use of research. The presentation includes citations to support claims The presentation makes very good use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice The presentation provides easy to understand information Conclusion A Conclusion slide is presented with excellent take-home message(s) Audio The audio is easy to follow The presentation makes very good use of narrated audio Audio communication is well paced Reasonably good intonation The narration is well practiced and/or performed Audio recording quality was good There is some buffeting. Review microphone set-up to achieve higher recording quality. The microphone may be too close. The narrated content is well matched to the target topic (see content) Video Overall, visual display quality is very good The presentation makes good use of text and image based slides Some of the font size could be larger to make it easier to read The amount of text presented per slide makes it easy to read and listen at the same time Check and correct spelling (e.g., Experince -> Experience) The visual communication is supplemented in a good way by images and/or diagrams The presentation is well produced using simple tools The visual content is well matched to the target topic (see content) Meta-data The chapter title is used, but the sub-title (or a shortened version of it) is not used, as the name of the presentation. The sub-title (or an abbreviation of the sub-title that fits within the 100 character limit) would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding. Links to and from the book chapter are provided Licensing Image sources are communicated in a general way. Also provide links to each image and the license details (e.g., in the description). A copyright license for the presentation is provided
