Overall Overall, this is an excellent chapter. It successfully uses psychological theory and research to address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. Very good use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims In some places, better use could be made of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) 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 Explains the psychological problem or phenomenon reasonably well The focus questions are clear and relevant The focus questions could be improved by being: presented in a feature box to help guide the reader (fixed) Theory An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Very good coverage of key theories It could have been helpful to concentrate more specifically at times on NC Builds effectively on other chapters and/or Wikipedia articles Insightful/ depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Some use of tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information Key citations are well used In some places, there is insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Excellent use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Excellent review of relevant research This is a strength of the chapter Good 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 Excellent integration between theory and research Conclusion Excellent/ summary and conclusion Key points are well summarised Clear take-home message(s) Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very good The target audience is international, not domestic. Only 0.3% of the world human population lives in Australia. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Communicate one idea per paragraph using three to five sentences. Layout The heading wordings are a bit disorganised/messy Use the default heading style (e.g., remove additional italics, bold, and/or change in font size) Use sentence casing APA style Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc. Use serial commas[1]. Video (1 min) Figures Very well captioned Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text using APA style Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., "(see Figure 1)"; do not use bold, italics, check and correct capitalisation) Tables Use APA style for captions (see example) Refer to each Table using APA style (e.g., do not use bold, talics, check and correct capitalisation) Citations use poor APA style (7th ed.). To improve: For page number formatting e.g., p120 -> p. 120 A study by (Ballew & Omoto, 2018) -> A study by Ballew and Omoto (2018) References use excellent APA style: Separate page numbers using an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) Check and correct capitalisation Learning features Excellent use of learning features Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles One 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 figure(s) Basic use of table(s) Reasonably good use of feature box(es) Very good use of scenarios, case studies, or examples Excellent use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) Good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Use sentence casing Add more links Very good use of external links in the "External links" section Add more links Social contribution ~10 logged, useful, mostly moderate to major contributions with direct links to evidence
