@Josh.Cattle: Thanks for taking on this topic.

Note that the previous 2022 chapter did not adequately address the topic. You can check out the feedback for that chapter here: Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2022/Antidepressants and motivation#Book chapter review and feedback.

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

Hi! This topic looks super interesting and it looks like you're already onto an amazing start. I am very intrigued by the theories you have chosen and the information you have written already is very well informed! The quizzes look like they will be helpful in the user's learning as well as the figures you have chosen. Keep it up! --Lauraei11 (discusscontribs) 08:27, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Heading casing

[edit source]
Hi Josh.Cattle. 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

This topic is really interesting! I have always been intrigued on how different medications can influence someones behaviour. These articles might interest you and could help you out with your book chapter!

Potential changes to "see also"

[edit source]

The page has been done well, Josh, and the information is great. Have you thought about potentially adding different links to the "see also" part of the chapter? You have also done a great job with the formatting, but maybe different colours and flair could be the final touch your chapter needs. Good luck on the chapter. --MojoHides (discusscontribs) 05:30, 8 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

  3. Remove case study as heading; embed case study is most relevant section
