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.

  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
  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
  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
  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
  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
  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.
  1. OK
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. alphabetical order
    2. capitalisation
    3. italicisation
  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
  1. Not created – see Tutorial 02
  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.

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
  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.
  3. Explains the problem or phenomenon
  4. Clear focus questions
  5. Consider using single-barrelled rather than double-barrelled questions
  1. An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
  2. Builds effectively on related Wikipedia articles
  3. Build more strongly on related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters)
  4. Insightful depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  5. Basic use of tables, figures, and/or lists are to help convey key theoretical information
  6. Key citations are well used
  7. Some places lacked sufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  8. Excellent use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Very good review of relevant research
  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
  1. Very good integration between theory and research
  1. Reasonably good summary and conclusion
  2. Wishy-washy
  3. Remind the reader about the importance of the problem or phenomenon of interest
  4. Key points are well summarised
  5. Address the focus questions
  6. Add practical, take-home message(s)
  1. Written expression
    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
  1. Excellent use of learning features
  2. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles
  3. 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.
  4. Very good use of image(s)
  5. No use of table(s)
  6. Good use of feature box(es)
  7. Very good use of case studies or examples

    1. Use sentence casing
    2. Use alphabetical order
  10. Basic use of external links in the "External links" section

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is a basic presentation

  1. Overall, visual display quality is basic
