Initial suggestions[edit source]

@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.

Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 05:16, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Peer suggestion[edit source]

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

Might interest your topic[edit source]

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]

Title[edit source]

  1. The title is correctly worded and formatted
  2. The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted
  3. Remove user name – authorship is as per the list of topics and the page's editing history

Headings[edit source]

  1. Promising 3-level heading structure – could benefit from further development by expanding the structure - simplify down to a 2-level structure
  2. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  3. Remove case study as heading; embed case study is most relevant section
  4. Reduce weight on general earlier sections (Theories and Neurotransmitters & emotion)
  5. & -> and
  6. Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
  7. Check spelling (e.g., seretonin -> serotonin)
  8. Check grammar (e.g., remove question mark unless it is a question)
  9. The most promising section is "How do common antidepressants affect motivation?"
  10. Avoid excessive emphasis on specific antidepressants - concentrate on the general categories
  11. Consider adopting closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings
  12. Headings could be more descriptive e.g., "Theories" is a bit pedestrian

Overview[edit source]

  1. Move the scenario or case study into a feature box (with an image) to the start of this section to help catch reader interest. No heading.
  2. A brief description of the problem/topic is planned
  3. Present focus questions in a feature box at the end of this section; express this in 3rd person perspective and use a way to help structure the rest of the chapter (e.g., can be used as the basis for top-level headings)

Key points[edit source]

  1. Promising development of key points for each section, with relevant citations
  2. Avoid providing too much background information. Briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal wiki links to relevant book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information.

  3. Avoid overcapitalisation (e.g., Negative -> negative)
  4. Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research, with practical examples
