Initial suggestions[edit source]

@Ishi: Thanks for tackling this topic. Some initial suggestions:

  • Check out other chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work.
  • However, note that although this is a social psychological topic, bring a motivation lens to the chapter e.g., by discussing system justification goal(s)/motive(s)

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

Small things[edit source]

Hey, this topic is looking really interesting, I'm excited to follow along as you post more. I did notice that your figure is currently without a description, adding one could help further develop the visual learning aspect of this chapter. :]--H.Maycock (discusscontribs) 12:55, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply


Topic development feedback[edit source]

The topic development submission 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 for editing changes made whilst reviewing this chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date.

Title[edit source]

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

Headings[edit source]

  1. Poor structure
  2. Simplify to 2 levels
  3. Adopt closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings
  4. Aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Overview and Conclusion, with up to a similar number of sub-headings for large sections
  5. The Overview and Conclusion should not have sub-headings
  6. Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
  7. Quizzes and case studies don't need a separate heading; instead embed quiz questions and case studies within relevant sections

Overview[edit source]

  1. Add a scenario or case study into a feature box (with an image) at the start of this section to help catch reader interest
  2. A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is planned
  3. Present focus questions in a feature box at the end of this section

Key points[edit source]

  1. Partial development of key points for some sections, with limited citations
  2. Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research, with practical examples
  3. It is unclear whether the best available psychological theory and research has been consulted in the preparation of this plan
  4. It will be important to situate/relate SJT to motivation
  5. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Hasn't been developed

Figure[edit source]

  1. A figure is presented
  2. Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text
  3. Cite each figure at least once in the main text

Learning feature[edit source]

  1. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  2. Promising use of quiz question(s)
  3. Consider including more examples/case studies, table(s) etc.

References[edit source]

  1. OK
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. alphabetical order
    2. capitalisation
    3. italicisation

Resources[edit source]

  1. See also
    1. Not developed
  2. External links
    1. Rename links so that they are more user friendly (see Tutorial 02)
    2. Include source in brackets after link

User page[edit source]

  1. Not created – see Tutorial 02

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. None summarised on user page with direct link(s) to evidence – this was covered in Tutorial 03. Looking ahead to the book chapter submission, see how to earn marks for social contributions.

Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a very good chapter. It makes very good use of psychological theory and research to address a real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. Very good use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims
  3. Well under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand
  4. Well over the maximum word count. The content beyond 4,000 words has been ignored for marking purposes.
  5. This chapter "beats around the bush" for ~* words (i.e., too much preamble) before starting to directly tackle the target topic in the section titled "*"
  6. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits

Overview[edit source]

  1. Well developed/Solid/Reasonably good/Basic/Underdeveloped
  2. Engage reader interest via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image. This is underway, but incomplete.

  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  3. Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area?
  4. Very good critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  5. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. discussing the direction of relationships
    3. considering the strength of relationships
    4. acknowledging limitations
    5. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    6. suggesting specific directions for future research

Integration[edit source]

  1. Very good integration between theory and research

Style[edit source]

    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is very good
    2. Develop the bullet points into full sentences and paragraphs
    3. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Convey one idea per paragraph using three to five sentences.
    4. Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes
  2. Layout
    1. Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
    2. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
    3. Abbreviations
      1. Once an abbreviation has been established (e.g., PTSD), use it consistently aftwarwards
  3. Spelling
    1. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour)
  4. Proofreading
    1. Remove unnecessary capitalisation
  5. APA style
    1. Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    2. Direct quotes need page numbers – even better, write in your own words
    3. Figures
      1. Figures are very well captioned
      2. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
    4. Citations use basic APA style (7th ed.). For example:
      1. If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either:
        1. in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or
        2. in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020)
      2. Check and correct how to present two different citations in parentheses
      3. A full stop is needed after "et al" (i.e., "et al.") because it is an abbreviation of et alii
      4. Do not include author first name or initials
      5. Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses
      6. List multiple citations in alphabetical order by first author surname
