Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Empathy versus sympathy

Empathy, sympathy and compassion - social contribution

Hi there,

I found this article that may be useful for your Book Chapter. It includes includes the connection between empathy and sympathy as included in your Book Chapter, as well as compassion, which I thought could make an interesting subheading. I thought this because compassion appears to be closely related with empathy adn sympathy. The interconnection between them all was something I enjoyed reading about.

Heading casing

Hi U3236683. 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 21:17, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Images and case studies

Hello, I've read through your book chapter so far, and you have lots of interesting information. One thing I noticed is that the case studies throughout the chapter are a bit hard to spot. Using a coloured text box would be a great way to draw the reader's eye to your case study examples. Another thing I would recommend is including some more images throughout your chapter. This gives the reader visuals to refer to when reading each section and can make your chapter a bit more colourful. Good luck with the rest of your chapter! --U3236447 (discuss • contribs) 03:24, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

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 See earlier comment about Heading casing Overly complicated 3-level structure – consider simplifying Many of the headings are overly long Adopt closer alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings 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 3. Overview Excellent - Scenario, image, evocative description of the problem/topic, relevant psychological theory/research, and focus questions Move the scenario or case study into a feature box (with an image) to the start of this section to help catch reader interest Add a brief, evocative description of the problem/topic Present focus questions in a feature box at the end of this section 4. Key points Promising development of key points for each section, with relevant citations Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples Direct quotes need page numbers (APA style) – even better, write in your own words Conclusion (the most important section): Hasn't been developed 5. Figure One or more relevant figure(s) is/are presented and captioned The figure caption(s) could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text Cite each figure at least once in the main text using APA style (e.g., see Figure 1) 6. Learning feature Promising use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters Excellent use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies Consider including one or more quiz question(s) about the take-home messages Excellent use of one or more tables 7. References OK Are there any systematic reviews about this topic? All references need to be cited in the text Only include references which have been accessed and read Check and correct APA referencing style: alphabetical order capitalisation italicisation make doi hyperlinks active (i.e., clickable) Use APA style or wiki referencing style, but not both. Currently, a mixture of referencing styles is used. 8. Resources See also Not developed – needs work (see Tutorial 2) External links Not developed – needs work (see Tutorial 2) 9. User page Very good Description about self provided 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. A link to the book chapter is provided 10. Social contribution Good – two out of three types of contributions made with with direct link(s) to evidence. The other type of contribution is making: direct improvements to other chapters (past or current)

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 reasonably good chapter. It makes good use of psychological theory and some use of research to address a real-world phenomenon or problem. Reasonably good use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims Over the maximum word count. The content beyond 4,000 words has been ignored for marking purposes. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Underdeveloped Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image Consider giving the people in the scenario names rather than A and B Overly complex; Simplify the scenario into a single feature box, with a title and an image; move detail into subsequent sections Explain the psychological problem or phenomenon Provide focus questions in a feature box to help guide the reader Theory A very good range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Builds effectively on related chapters and Wikipedia articles Very good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Some content is repetitive Effective use of tables, figures, and/or lists to help clearly convey key theoretical information Key citations are well used Very good use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Good review of relevant research Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? Insufficient 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 Good integration between theory and research Conclusion Over maximum word count, so ignored for marking purposes Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is 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 Bold, colour etc. are overused, making the chapter more difficult to read than if default style was used Use the default heading style (e.g., remove additional italics and/or bold) Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings Some of the standard headings were missing (e.g., External links) and some were incorrect (e.g., Conclusion) Proofreading More proofreading is needed (e.g., missing full-stops) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard Remove unnecessary capitalisation (e.g., Empathy -> empathy) Add required capitalisation (e.g., at the start of sentences, start of sub-titles) Figures Reasonably well captioned Use this format for captions: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text using APA style Numbering needs correcting Tables Add an APA style caption to each table Refer to each Table at least once within the main text (e.g., see Table 1) Move the reference into References; just include the citation in the Table note Citations use excellent APA style (7th ed.) References are over the maximum word count, so not counted for marking purposes Check and correct use of italicisation Learning features Very good use of learning features Very good 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. Good use of image(s) Very good use of table(s) Good use of feature box(es) Very good use of case studies or examples; perhaps could be improved by providing different examples Excellent use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) Over maximum word count, so ignored for marking purposes Over maximum word count, so ignored for marking purposes Social contribution ~13 logged, useful, moderate social contributions with direct links to evidence
