Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Attribution theory and emotion

Initial suggestions

@Spring Pavlova: Thanks for tackling this topic. Some initial suggestions:

• Check out other related chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work:
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Attribution
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Emotion
• Also search past book chapters for related topics
• For the topic development, consider:
  • What psychological theory(ies) can help to understand and explain this topic?
  • What is the main research in this area?
• Let me know if I can do anything else to support the development of this chapter.

Heading casing

Hi Spring Pavlova. 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 -- Jtneill - Talk - c 10:36, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Topic development feedback

The topic development submission has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is below, plus see the general feedback page. Please also check the page history for changes made whilst reviewing the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Marks are available via UCLearn. Marks are based on the latest version before the due date.

1. Title The title and sub-title are correctly worded and formatted 2. Headings Basic, 1-level heading structure – could benefit from further development, perhaps using a 2-level structure Only some of the headings seem to be directly about the topic (e.g., confidence isn't obviously relevant to the topic) Adopt closer alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings 3. Overview The Overview is promising but too long and lacks sufficient focus Move the scenario or case study to the start of this section to help catch reader interest The description is too basic in that it describes each concept separately rather than their relationship Use bullet-points or a numbered list for the focus questions Put the focus questions in a feature box The focus questions lack sufficient focus Closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings is recommended 4. Key points Partial development of some partially relevant key points for some sections, with some relevant citations Overall, lack of sufficient developed of well-targetted content that represents the best psychological science about this topic Avoid providing too much background information. Aim to briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal links to relevant book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title. I recommend using the Studiosity service and/or a service like Grammarly to help improve the quality of written expression such as checking grammatical and spelling errors Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples It is unclear whether the best available psychological theory and research has been consulted in the preparation of this plan Conclusion is underway 5. Figure One or more relevant figure(s) is/are presented and captioned The figure caption(s) provide(s) a clear, appropriately detailed description that is meaningfully connected with the main text Cite each figure at least once in the main text using APA style (e.g., see Figure 1) 6. Learning feature Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters (see Tutorial 2) Promising use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies Promising use of quiz question(s) Focus the quiz question(s) on the take-home messages for each focus question Promising use of one or more table(s) Cite the table at least once in the text Consider including more examples/case studies, quiz question(s), table(s) etc. 7. References Good It seems like maybe this topic development has focused on attribution theory in general rather than the relationship between attributions and emotion Are there any systematic reviews about this topic? Check and correct APA referencing style: capitalisation italicisation doi formatting 8. Resources See also OK Identify more relevant links Use sentence casing External links Insufficient Move academic sources into references and cite in the chapter Include source in brackets after the link 9. User page Very good Very brief description about self – consider expanding Link(s) provided to professional profile(s) A link to the book chapter is provided 10. Social contribution This edit fixed a grammar issue but added a spelling error] Thanks for posting about the accidental edit and getting it sorted Use a numbered list (see Tutorial 02)

Book chapter review and feedback

This chapter 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 to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a very good chapter. It successfully uses psychological theory and makes basic use of research to address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. Excellent use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Well developed Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image Clearly explains the psychological problem or phenomenon The focus questions are clear and relevant Theory An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Builds on two previous chapters and/or Wikipedia article Insightful depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Basic use of tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information Key citations are well used Excellent use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Reasonably good review of relevant research More detail about key studies would be ideal Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? Basic critical thinking about relevant research is evident Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Integration Reasonably good integration between theory and research Conclusion Excellent summary and conclusion Key points are well summarised Summarise key points The focus questions are addressed Clear take-home message(s) Add practical, take-home message(s) Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very good 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 Layout The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections See earlier comments about heading casing Grammar The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags) Check and make correct use of commas Spelling Some words are misspelt (e.g., see the tags). Spell-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages. Proofreading More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard APA style Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used ... as slang, or as an invented or coined expression" (APA Style 7th ed., 2020, p. 159) Figures Briefly captioned; provide more detail to help connect the figure to the text Use this format for captions: Figure X. Descriptive caption goes here in sentence casing. See example. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., "(see Figure 1)") Tables Use APA style for captions (see example) Each Table is referred to at least once within the main text Citations use excellent APA style (7th ed.) References use basic APA style: The reference list is quite short Check and correct use of capitalisation[2] Check and correct use of italicisation Learning features Good use of learning features Basic use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text even more interactive. See example. 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. Very basic use of figure(s) Basic use of table(s) Very good use of feature box(es) Excellent use of scenarios, case studies, or examples Very good use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Use sentence casing (fixed) Use alphabetical order Add more links Basic use of external links in the "External links" section Add more links Social contribution ~7 logged, useful, mostly minor contributions with direct links to evidence
