Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Environmental cues and habits

Articles that might be helpful

Hey @MoniqqueK! I ran into this article which discusses how the environment of a metropolitan urban area affects the likelihood of individuals picking up a cycling habit. They've got a massive sample size, so I figured it might be of some use for you. See here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tbs.2020.02.007. D. E. Finlay (discuss • contribs) 04:32, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

This is great! Thank you so much MoniqqueK (discuss • contribs) 02:48, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Initial suggestions

@MoniqqueK: 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/Behaviour
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Environment
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Habit
• 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.

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 Excellent – Well developed 2-level heading structure. Meaningful headings clearly relate directly to the core topic. Excellent alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and heading structure Quiz doesn't need a separate heading; instead embed quiz questions within relevant sections 3. Overview Excellent – Scenario, image, evocative description of the problem/topic, and focus questions Consider abbreviating A scenario or case study is presented in a feature box with an image at the start of this section A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is provided Focus questions are aligned with sub-title and top-level headings 4. Key points Excellent – key points are well developed for each section Very good use of citations Good balance of theory and research A key challenge might be fitting within the maximum word count, so work out what is essential and what is just a nice to have Conclusion is underway What might the take-home, practical messages be? (What are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?) 5. Figure Excellent - One or more relevant figure(s) presented, captioned, and cited The figure caption(s) provide(s) a clear, appropriately detailed description that is meaningfully connected with the main text Figure(s) are cited at least once in the main text Cite each figure using APA style (e.g., see Figure 1) 6. Learning feature One use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters Use internal rather than external linking style for Wikipedia links Promising use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies Excellent use of quiz question(s) Also consider using one or more tables to summarise key information 7. References Excellent Are there any systematic reviews about this topic? Check and correct APA referencing style: page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) 8. Resources See also Excellent Include source in brackets after link (e.g., (Wikipedia) or (Book chapter, year) for Wikiversity book chapters) (fixed) Use internal linking style for Wikipedia links External links Excellent Use alphabetical order 9. User page Very good Excellent 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 At least three different types of contributions with mostly direct link(s) to evidence To add direct links to evidence of Wikiversity comments: view the talk page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and paste the comparison URL on your user page.

Neurology and Habit

Hey @MoniqqueK! I noticed that you're leaning on a significant amount of neurological mechanisms in your discussion of habit formation. I was wondering if it would be worth discussing the memory centres of the brain alongside the executive function centres. Baladron and Hamker, 2020, (see here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ejn.14730) explored the relationship between habit and hippocampal structures in rats. --DFaol (discuss • contribs) 03:39, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

External source suggestion

Hi, super interesting chapter so far! I was just thinking James Clears book Atomic Habits explains habit formation and environmental cues super well in a pop-psychology/ lay term way. Even though it's mostly about habit stacking, it might be a beneficial external source for explaining the basics to people. If you were interested in including it as a source for readers heres a link to James website: https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habits U3239091 (discuss • contribs) 23:37, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

social contribution

hey, you've done a great job writing the chapter clearly, and I really appreciate the link you've made between environmental cues and building positive habits. One suggestion to consider is expanding on how changing/ removing environmental cues can help break unhealthy habits. This could add to the understanding of how habits are formed and disrupted great work so far :) U3236683 (discuss • contribs) 20:59, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
