Suggestions for 2024 Chapter

[edit source]

Hi there,

I've had a look at the 2023 Chapter for Abusive Supervision and it is dense with text! My suggestion for your chapter to improve on the last is to consider some separation between your main points, include knowledge checks, images, etc. so the reader isn't staring at a wall of text.

Unlike the 2023 chapter, I hope yours can include a definition of Abusive Supervision!

Best of luck! SMurray24 (discusscontribs) 08:03, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Initial suggestions

[edit source]

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

Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 11:50, 10 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey James
Was just continuing with fleshing out some of the points on my page, and was wondering about the side effects of Abusive Supervision, both Mental and Physical and was just wondering about some advice for how much detail I should really go into. Mental area covers emotion and motivation, and then I can go further into the two in the physical with hormones etc, and then have a section on Extrinsic and Intrinsic motivation having been affected, do you think that is enough?
Alongside that with the word count (hopefully) having a section on how to prevent the behaviour from possibly occuring.
Is that enough?
Thanks

@TJDuus:
I think concentrate on the psychosocial impacts because any physical effects likely flow from those effects unless of course the abuse is physical.
The task is really to synthesise what has been identified in the best psychological science about the causes and impacts of AS. See if you can find any major reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses to help guide decisions about what is notable. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 06:43, 26 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Heading casing

[edit source]
Hi TJDuus. 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

I'll get on that now sir, thank you!

Some suggested sources for research on the dark triad.

[edit source]

Hey @TJDuus,

I've have a read through page and I'm super interested in your topic. I saw that you mentioned the dark triad but hadn't yet fleshed out your ideas and was wondering you needed some resources to look into. I did an essay on the dark triad traits in Personality and Individual differences last year and have a bunch of sources and peer reviewed articles you can look into.

Happy researching :)

Feedback

[edit source]

Hi @TJDuus,

This was a really interesting read, thank you!

I think there could be some benefit to simplifying your content. For example, I used the hemmingway app on your first scenario, and it had 5 of 7 sentences being very hard or hard to read. You could try rephrasing it like the below:

A possible scenario

A small game company called Maple consists of around 100 workers. Their size aside, they are the industry's epitome of innovation and collaboration.

Reports say the supervisor is "overbearing, a micromanager, and verbally abusive." Workers report they are unsatisfied and unwilling to work, and some show signs of severe stress.

The supervisor has been rude and abusive to a coworker. He reportedly harassed the worker and blamed him for all the division's mistakes. Due to the abuse, he cannot return to work. He fell ill with a serious illness and was admitted to the hospital.

Is this a case of abusive supervision?


Goodluck with the rest of the assignment. :)

[edit source]

Hey TJDuus,

I really love how you've tackled this topic. I found myself learning lots about abusive supervision and I love how everything comes back to the psychological foundation of motivation and emotion. I really liked how you broke down the information with the boxes which made reading very clear. I liked how you included real world examples, like the case study of the game company Maple, as this helped me understand the actual consequences of abusive supervision within a workplace setting. The quiz and "What do you think?" sections help to encourage engagement with the material, which I really liked and is something I'd like to try in my page.

Something I think you could improve is by adding a section on potential interventions or strategies for addressing abusive supervision. I think you have covered everything about the cause and impacts of abusive supervision so this section could help to add more to the conclusion. However, it is not essential because I think you have done a great job of summarising your points regardless. Well done! U3236669 (discusscontribs) 00:55, 4 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

  3. Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area?
  4. Basic 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. considering the strength of relationships
    3. acknowledging limitations
    4. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    5. suggesting specific directions for future research
  1. Reasonably good integration between theory and research
  2. The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research
  1. Good summary and conclusion
  2. Remind the reader about the importance of the problem or phenomenon of interest
  3. Add practical, take-home message(s)
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is reasonably good
    2. Some paragraphs are overly long. Communicate one key idea per paragraph in three to five sentences.
    3. 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
    4. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead:
      1. it is, most often, not needed at all, or
      2. use section linking
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
    2. Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
    3. See earlier comments about heading casing
  3. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags)
      1. Consider using a grammar checking tool
      2. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance
  4. Spelling
    1. Some words are misspelt (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags). Spell-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages.
  5. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard
    2. Remove unnecessary capitalisation (e.g., Supervision -> supervision)
  6. APA style
    1. Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    2. Use serial commas[2]. Video (1 min)
    3. Express numbers < 10 using words (e.g., two) and >= 10 and over using numerals (e.g., 99)
    4. Figures
      1. Figures are well captioned
      2. Each Figure (except Figure 1) is referred to at least once within the main text
    5. Citations use very good APA style (7th ed.). To improve:
      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. Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses
    6. References use reasonably good APA style:
      1. Remove descriptive information
      2. Remove publisher locations
      3. Check and correct use of capitalisation[3]
      4. Check and correct use of italicisation
  1. Reasonably good use of learning features

  5. Good use of feature box(es)
  6. Good use of case studies or examples

  8. Good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
    1. Use sentence casing
    2. Use alphabetical order
    3. Move external links to the external links section
  9. Basic use of external links in the "External links" section
    1. Use sentence casing
    2. Use alphabetical order
