Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/Placebo effect and emotion

Heading casing

Hi U3213568. 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 02:18, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Initial suggestions

@U3213568: 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
  • 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 02:19, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Title The title is correctly worded and formatted The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted Headings Promising 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development by expanding the structure Check grammar (e.g., missing question mark) Adopt closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings Overview Add a scenario or case study into a feature box (with an image) at the start of this section to help catch reader interest A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is planned Why focus on guilt? (The topic is not this specific, although guilt could be a useful example) Key points Promising development of key points for most sections, with relevant citations For sections which include sub-sections include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research, with practical examples Conclusion (the most important section): Hasn't been developed Figure Excellent - A relevant figure is presented, captioned, and cited Learning feature 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\ Consider including more examples/case studies, quiz question(s), table(s) etc. References Very good Make doi hyperlinks active (i.e., clickable) Resources Not developed 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.

Social Contribution Suggestion

Hey! I would love to see a table to display the pros and cons of the placebo effect before diving into peer reviewed research! It would make it super clear while also engaging to break up the text. Mia Pearse (discuss • contribs) 05:44, 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 a basic, but sufficient chapter Move non-peer reviewed links into the external links section Under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Underdeveloped An overly long case study of dubious/unclear relevance to the placebo effect is presented Add a relevant image to the case study to help attract reader interest Explains the problem or phenomenon Underdeveloped focus questions This is a reflection question (could be useful separately) For focus questions, unpack the sub-title and set up specific questions which will lead to take-home messages Theory A basic range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Provide clearer justification for the focus on pain. The topic is placebo effect and emotion. This chapter relies overly on Flaten et al. (2011) The theoretical explanations for how placebo can affect emotion was insufficient Builds reasonably well on Wikipedia articles Build more strongly on related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters) Basic depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Very basic use of tables, figures, and/or lists are to help convey key theoretical information Make more use of tables, figures, and/or lists are to help convey key theoretical information Use more 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? 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 Integration Basic integration between theory and research The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research Conclusion Insufficient as a cohesive summary of the best available psychological theory and research about the topic Key points are summarised Add practical, take-home message(s) Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is basic The target audience is international, rather than domestic. Australians represent 0.32% of the world human population. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Convey one idea per paragraph using three to five sentences. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead: it is, most often, not needed at all, or use section linking Spelling Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour) APA style Figures Figures are reasonably well captioned. Remove "This image shows". Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1) Tables Use APA style for captions. See example Each Table is referred to at least once within the main text Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example: Do not use italics Flaten et al., 2011 should be cited instead as Flaten et al. (2011) Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section A limited range of references is cited References are not in full APA style. For example: Include hyperlinked dois Learning features Basic use of learning features Reasonably 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. Move links to non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section Reasonably good use of image(s) Very basic use of table(s) Basic use of feature box(es) Basic use of case studies or examples Very basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) Insufficient use of interwiki links in the "See also" section. Links lack sufficient relevance to the topic. Good use of external links in the "External links" section Social contribution ~3 logged, useful, minor social contributions with direct links to evidence

Overall Overall, this is a reasonably 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 Create an engaging introduction to hook audience interest Establish a context for the presentation (e.g., by using an example or explaining why it is important), to help the viewer understand Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation. Content Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section The presentation somewhat addresses the topic Why does this presentation focus on the PE and pain? (This is not specified in the title/sub-title) An appropriate amount of content is presented — not too much or too little The selection of content is somewhat because it doesn't adequately use the most relevant psychological theory and/or research to address the topic - i.e., placebo effect and emotion The presentation makes reasonably good use of relevant psychological theory The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological research The presentation includes citations to support claims The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies The audience is international (Australians are only .3% of world population) Conclusion A Conclusion slide is presented with basic take-home message(s) Add a title to the Conclusion slide 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? The Conclusion only partly fitted within the time limit The Conclusion did not fit within the time limit Audio The audio is easy to follow The presentation makes good use of narrated audio Audio communication is well paced Very good intonation The narration is well practiced and/or performed Audio recording quality was excellent The narrated content is reasonably well matched to the target topic (see content) Video Overall, visual display quality is reasonably good The presentation makes basic use of text and image based slides The font size could be larger to make it easier to read The amount of text presented per slide could be reduced to make it easier to read and listen at the same time The visual communication is supplemented in a basic way by images and/or diagrams The presentation is basically produced using simple tools The visual content is reasonably well matched to the target topic (see content) Meta-data The chapter title and sub-title (or an abbreviation to fit within the 100 character limit) are used in the name of the presentation — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding.
