Initial suggestions[edit source]

@BM3062384: Thanks for tackling this topic.

Some initial suggestions:

  • Check out this video (also a podcast) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2og1DJvQ94. The title of the episode is misleading - it is an excellent discussion about the psychology of sadism in relation to personality, the dark triad, and dark tetrad.
  • Check out other pain chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work.
  • 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.

@Jtneill: Thank you for the podcast link, I had discovered this in the wild first before reviewing this post - but I'm glad you raised it here and that you too had a view on the title. I had considered not adding it to my external links owing to the title, and to the controversy surrounding the host but this message helped convince me to do so, that amount of interview with Dr. Paulhaus is too hard to pass up. I hope you enjoy reviewing my work up to this point, I've enjoyed drafting it.

Title[edit source]

  1. The title is correctly worded and formatted
  2. The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted

Headings[edit source]

  1. Excellent – Well developed 2-level heading structure, with meaningful headings that directly relate to the core topic
  2. Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings

  4. Trigger warning optional
  5. Consider closer alignment with focus questions

Overview[edit source]

  1. Excellent - Scenario, image, evocative description of the problem/topic, relevant psychological theory/research, and focus questions
  2. Move case study to top of section; add image; to help attract reader interest
  3. I think maybe the quote might work best as a right-hand box (e.g., like an image) and perhaps placed into a later section. Keep the Overview tight.
  4. A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is provided
  5. Promising focus questions, but align with headings

Key points[edit source]

  1. Excellent – key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations
  2. Conclusion (the most important section):

References[edit source]

  1. Excellent – used effectively
  2. Description about self provided
  3. Brief description about self provided – consider expanding
  4. 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.
  5. Link provided to book chapter

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Very good – at least three different types of contributions with some direct link(s) and some indirect links to evidence
  2. To make the indirect links more direct: If adding the second or subsequent link to a page (or a talk/discussion page), create a direct link like / Add direct links to evidence. To do this: View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page.

Edits[edit source]

Hi, thank you for this book chapter! I found the contents to be very interesting (and scary). I have made some changes to your reference list, I hope you don't mind! The only issue you had was the unnecessary capitalisation of words in the article title. Remember to only capitalise the first word, the first word after a colon, initials or acrynoms :).
