Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/Irrational belief motivation

Initial suggestions

@Concettazicc: 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/Cognitive
  • Also see Conspiracy theory motivation
• What psychological theories 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.

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 Engages reader interest by introducing a case study and/or scenario with an image in a feature box Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon Clear Theory An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Some more examples of each type of irrational belief would be helpful Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters) Insightful depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) More justification needed for the selection of the most common irrational beliefs Good use of images to help clearly convey key theoretical information Key citations are well used Good use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Some more examples of each type of irrational belief would be helpful Research Excellent review of relevant research Excellent critical thinking about relevant research is evident Claims are referenced Integration Excellent integration between theory and research Conclusion Excellent summary and conclusion Key points are well summarised Clear take-home message(s) Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very good to excellent Some paragraphs are overly long. Communicate one key idea per paragraph in three to five sentences. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Convey one idea per paragraph using three to five sentences. 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) Abbreviations Explain abbreviations (spell out) (e.g., REBT) when they are first introduced APA style 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" (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 Excellent use of learning features Excellent 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. Excellent use of image(s) No use of table(s) Excellent use of feature box(es) Excellent use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) 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 ~16 logged, useful, mostly major social contributions with direct links to evidence
