Interesting Research Paper

[edit source]

Hi U3239762, please see this interesting research paper titled 'Randomized Trial of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Versus Light Therapy for Seasonal Affective Disorder:Acute Outcomes'(hyperlinked). I think you may find this helpful as I saw you mentioned both the use of CBT and Light Therapy in your topic development. This one compares both which is always a good way to assess psychological treatments.

Best of luck - Iva Puskarica

Heading casing

[edit source]
Hi U3239762. 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

  1. Overall, this is a very good chapter. It makes very good use of psychological theory and research to address a real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. Excellent use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims
  3. Under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand
  4. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Well developed
  2. Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image
  3. Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon
  4. Clear focus questions
  1. An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
  2. Builds somewhat on Wikipedia articles; build more strongly on related book chapters
  3. Reasonably good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  4. Use tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information
  5. Key citations are well used
  6. Basic use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Very good review of relevant research
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal (e.g., effect sizes from meta-analyses?)
  3. Basic critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  4. 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

  1. Very good summary and conclusion
  2. Add practical, take-home message(s)

  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
  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 use a services provided by UC, such as Studiosity
      3. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance
    2. Check and make correct use of commas
    3. Check and correct use of affect vs. effect
    4. Abbreviations
      1. Once an abbreviation has been established (e.g., PTSD), use it consistently aftwarwards

      2. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1)
    3. Citations use excellent APA style (7th ed.)
    4. References use excellent APA style:
  1. Basic use of learning features
  2. Key point boxes were useful
  3. Consider following the case study through to resolution (e.g., how did Stacey deal with SAD?)
  4. 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.
