Overall Overall, this is some promising content but clearly this is an incomplete chapter that never actually addresses the question - the content that is provided is preliminary/adjunct. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Theory Theory of a general background nature is provided, but this isn't clearly related to how anger affects decision-making. Examples could be helpful. Research Research pertaining to how anger affects decision-making is not covered. When describing important research studies, provide some indication of the nature of the sample and possibly cultural context. When discussing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. The Reeve textbook is over-used as a citation; preferably consult and cite primary, peer-reviewed sources. Written expression Written expression is reasonably good. Layout Use default heading styles; remove bold The chapter is well-structured. Learning features The chapter makes some use of interwiki links; more could be added. Grammar and proofreading Use abbreviations such as "e.g." inside brackets and "for example" outside brackets APA style Check and correct the use of "&" vs. "and" (Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets). The APA style for the reference list is very good; remove issue numbers for seriated journals.

Book chapter resubmission feedback

1. See these additional copyedits.
2. The chapter is now more complete.
3. Avoid using 1st and/or 2nd person (e.g., "we"); write in the 3rd person perspective.
4. Use default heading styles; remove italics
5. Check and correct grammar (e.g., "Should I lie to my friend or should I tell them the truth?" - them should be singular e.g., s/he)
6. One interwiki link was added; many more could be incorporated to make the text more interactive.
7. The Reeve textbook is still over-used as a citation.
8. A significant amount of new theory and research material has been added to the second half of the chapter.
9. Additional references have been added to the reference list.
10. Previous advice about using checking correct use of ampersands hasn't been heeded.
11. Check and correct APA style for in-text citations (e.g., alphabetical order).
12. Three useful theoretical perspectives have been added.
13. The most important new section is titled "Negative and positive implications of anger on decision-making" - this is the key section because it cuts to the chase and clearly spells out psychological science's answer(s) to the question. This section could be exanded.
14. A helpful Conclusion has been added.

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Moodle site. 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 a basic presentation. Structure and content This presentation fails to get to grip with presenting the best that psychological science has to offer about the effect of anger on decision-making. The first third of the presentation is spent on definitions of the separate constructs - abbreviate. The second third of the presentation examines emotion theory (but still not the topic - the effect of anger on decision making). The actual topic is only addressed briefly at the very end. The apology that you've run out of time doesn't cut it! Communication Audio is clear and well-paced. Visuals are clear and easy to read. Production quality Audio is a bit distorted/muffled - microphone may be too close to mouth - check set-up. Overall, well produced.
