Initial suggestions

@U3191574 (PHP): 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/Dark triad
• What psychological theories can help to understand? What is the main research in this area?

Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 07:58, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Title The title is correctly worded and formatted The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted Headings Reduce emphasis on background/description. Increase emphasis on relation between VDT and M and E. Promising 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development by expanding the structure Adopt closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings Overview Underdeveloped Add a scenario or case study into a feature box (with an image) at the start of this section to help catch reader interest Add a brief, evocative description of the problem/topic Closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings is recommended Key points Background is overemphasised - reduce/simplify Avoid providing too much background information. Briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal wiki links to relevant book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content of this on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title. Significant expansion on the connections with M and E needed Basic development of key points for each section, with relevant citations Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research, with practical examples Conclusion (the most important section): Well developed Underway Figure A figure is presented, captioned, and cited Ideally, select more obviously relevant figures Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text Figure(s) are cited at least once in the main text 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 Promising use of quiz question(s). # Focus the quiz question(s) on the take-home messages for each focus question. Consider including more examples/case studies, table(s) etc. References OK For APA referencing style, check and correct: capitalisation italicisation doi formatting make doi hyperlinks active (i.e., clickable) page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) Resources See also Excellent External links Excellent OK Use sentence casing Include source in brackets after link Only include links directly related to the sub-title Target an international audience; Australians only represent 0.33% of the world population User page Good Description about self provided Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn.

Workplace motivation?

Hey! This seems super good so far! I not long did an essay for another unit on the dark triad! A good idea for the motivation aspect could be looking into social identity theory a little for things like the workplace and social settings. Good luck! :) U3224203 (discuss • contribs) 07:23, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Heading casing

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 10:56, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Initial suggestions 2024

Thanks for tackling this topic. Some initial suggestions:

• Breadth vs. depth. This is a broad topic, which is fine, but it will need to be an overview, with embedded links to more specific chapters. However, if you find that you are interested in a specific aspect of this topic we can also tailor a different, more specific topic.
• Note that there was a previous attempt, so check out that chapter and the feedback on its talk page.
• Check out other related chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work:
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Dark triad
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Emotion
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Motivation
• 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.

1. Title The title and sub-title are correctly worded and formatted 2. Headings Overly complex The topic is VDT not DT. These are different. See w:Dark triad#Vulnerable dark triad Needs work Quiz doesn't need a separate heading; instead embed quiz questions within relevant sections 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 Address VDT instead of DT 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 VDT -> M&E Simplify and focus on VDT instead of DT 4. Key points The topic should be VDT not DT The topic should be VDT not DT 5. Figure No comment 6. Learning feature Excellent use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters Promising use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies Excellent use of quiz question(s) Excellent use of one or more tables 7. References Insufficient focus on VDT Use APA style or wiki referencing style, but not both. Currently, a mixture of referencing styles is used. Well done on identifying relevant systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses. Read it to learn more. Check and correct APA referencing style: italicisation 8. Resources See also Excellent External links Promising Select the most relevant VDT links Use alphabetical order 9. User page Excellent – used effectively Excellent description about self provided Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn.

Clarifying focus questions suggestion

Hi,

I think your chapter would benefit from being more succinct in defining the three vulnerable dark triad traits. For example, you could clarify their specific motivations as follows:

• Narcissists are motivated by a need for admiration and validation.
• Machiavellians seek power and control, often through manipulation.
• Psychopaths are driven by impulsive gratification or thrill-seeking behaviours.

Additionally, you might consider clarifying your subheadings and making them more distinct by either combining or removing certain sections. The current scope of the chapter feels quite broad, so narrowing your aims could help make it more concise and focused, possibly by honing in on one or two key themes related to motivation and emotion.

I think a way you could achieve all of the aforementioned is by clarifying the focus questions to be more distinct.

Your current focus questions are:

• What is the vulnerable dark triad (VDT), motivation, and emotion?
• What is the relationship between motivation and VDT?
• What is a motivation theories that relates to VDT?
• What is the relationship between emotion and VDT?
• What is an emotional theories that relates to VDT?
• How do we help the VDT?

They might be clearer by being labelled as follows:

• What is the vulnerable dark triad?
• VDT motivation
• VDT emotion
• How do the VDT traits influence motivation and emotion?
• Theories underpinning VDT motivation and emotion
• Effective interventions for individuals with VDT traits (not sure you even need to cover this topic at all)

This may make your research a little more streamlined rather than covering such a breadth of information.

Another interesting avenue to go down would be to bridge the gap between whether there is a positive affect to having VDT driving emotion and motivation and in what instances this may actually be beneficial? That is just some extra food for thought.

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 good to very good chapter. It makes excellent use of psychological theory and basic use of research to address a real-world phenomenon or problem. Very good use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims There are some places which could make better use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Reasonably good Engage reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image Briefly explains the problem or phenomenon Explain the problem or phenomenon in more detail Basic focus questions Theory An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Builds effectively on related chapters and Wikipedia articles Insightful depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Use tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information Key citations are well used However, in some places there is insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) If you didn't consult an original source (e.g., ?), cite it as a secondary source The Reeve (2018) textbook is overused as a citation – instead, utilise primary, peer-reviewed sources Basic use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Basic review of relevant research More detail about key studies would be ideal 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 discussing the direction of relationships considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Integration Basic integration between theory and research The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research; strive for an integrated balance Conclusion Excellent summary and conclusion 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 Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead: it is, most often, not needed at all, or use section linking "People" is often a better term than "individuals" Layout Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings (fixed) Proofreading More proofreading is needed (e.g., fix punctuation and typographical errors) to bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard Remove unnecessary capitalisation APA style Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc. Use serial commas[2]. Video (1 min) Figures Figures are reasonably well captioned Use this format for figure captions: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use bold, italics, check and correct capitalisation) Citations use excellent APA style (7th ed.) References use excellent APA style: Learning features Excellent use of learning features Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles Good use of image(s) No use of table(s) Reasonably good use of feature box(es) Basic use of case studies or examples Very good use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than as a set of questions at the end Very good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Good use of external links in the "External links" section Be more selective about which links to include (focus on VDT) Use sentence casing Social contribution ~9 logged, useful, mostly moderate with mostly direct links to evidence (indirect links were ignored for marking purposes)

Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is an excellent presentation Overview An opening slide with the title and sub-title is displayed and narrated — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation Engaging introduction to hook audience interest A context for the presentation is established through an example Who is Ted in the picture? Focus questions and/or an outline of topics are presented (very quickly) Content Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section The presentation addresses the topic An appropriate amount of content is presented — not too much or too little The presentation makes excellent use of relevant psychological theory The presentation makes reasonably good use of relevant psychological research The presentation makes excellent use of citations to support claims The presentation makes very good use of one or more examples The presentation provides practical advice The presentation provides easy to understand information Conclusion The conclusion provides an excellent summary and take-home message(s) Audio The audio is easy to follow,and interesting to listen to The presentation makes very good use of narrated audio Audio communication is well paced Very good intonation The narration is well practiced and/or performed Audio recording quality was very good The narrated content is well matched to the target topic Video Overall, visual display quality is very good The presentation makes very good use of text and image based slides Some of the font size could be larger to make it easier to read Some slides are a bit too busy The visual communication is effectively supplemented by relevant images and/or diagrams The presentation is well produced using simple tools The visual content is well matched to the target topic Meta-data The chapter title is used, but the sub-title (or a shortened version of it) is not used, as the name of the presentation. The sub-title (or an abbreviation of the sub-title that fits within the 100 character limit) would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. An excellent written description of the presentation is provided Links to and from the book chapter are provided Licensing Image sources and their copyright status are communicated A copyright license for the presentation is clearly indicated
