Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2015/Filicide motivation

Comments

just in the overview the sentence about the leading course of death for children and then follows with "is the leading cause of death of children under four." it seems out of place or unfinished, you might just want to read through it. But the rest of it looks great. You have a well written chapter with good flow, good luck with it U3097561 contribs) 21:32, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello, the information in the filicide around the world sections looks really interesting and relevant. I was just wondering if you would consider structuring the content so you talk about the factors of gender, history and mental illness separately so you could expand on these ideas more. You could still use the same studies, but maybe define what history means, what type of mental illness specifically they are talking about, why the studies may have found these results ect U3100474 (discuss • contribs) 01:22, 22 October 2015 (UTC)u3100474

Wow this is a tough and challenging topic. Have you heard about Wilczynski's motivational model? It is from 1995 but could still be useful as it is still researched. Here is the link. Good Luck!!!

Hi! I clicked on your topic because I had no idea what Filicide meant until now! Well done on explaining it in a nice simple way, especially as it's such a tough topic to discuss. I'm sure you're working on adding images and tables, so I can't wait to see the finished product. Maybe a few more subheadings would be good, just to break up each section into smaller sections that are easier to read. Was also wondering if you were going to add something about filicide in different places in the world? As it's likely to happen more in certain countries compared to others. Exploring why that is may be interesting. This article looks at it in 2 European countries - Putkonen, H., Amon, S., Eronen, M., Klier, C. M., Almiron, M. P., Cederwall, J. Y., & Weizmann-Henelius, G. (2011). Gender differences in filicide offense characteristics—A comprehensive register-based study of child murder in two European countries. Child abuse & neglect, 35(5), 319-328. Good luck!! Bt1718 (discuss • contribs) 4:02, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, very interesting topic!

I found a useful resource which looks at a summary of the knowledge on filicide up until now. Might be of some use: http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/pdf/10.1176/appi.ajp.162.9.1578

Hope that helps, Connorkaye (discuss • contribs) 01:46, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi! You might find this resource useful as it gives a great overview of the topic, motivations for such behaviour, prosecution and crime prevention opportunities. It also addresses the topic using Australian statistics and perspectives. http://www.ccc.qld.gov.au/research-and-publications/publications/research/vulnerable-victims-child-homicide-by-parents --U3082322 (discuss • contribs) 23:28, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Hey, you're clearly still working on this so I guess the structure is still being constructed, but don't forget to put in an overview (as per the marking criteria). I see you have a short intro but perhaps rename this as overview to emphasis that that is what it is. Further, a more comprehensive overview/intro would help clarify exactly what you are going to be discussing instead of stating the general topic. Are there any cultural variations in statistics, or is this predominately a western problem, an eastern problem etc. Also, don't forget to put a 'see also' section after the conclusion (sorry don't mean to tell you you suck eggs, just in case that's all :) ). --David M&E7124 (discuss • contribs) 1905, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for all the info and contributions guys, they are so helpful! As you might imagine this is a tough topic and I'm finding it very mentally draining so really appreciate all the suggestions, keep em coming!! Tigeralee (discuss • contribs) 01:51, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi there! Very fascinating topic, and I particularly thought that your applied examples were a good way to show the motivation in real life practise. You go through a lot of motivating factors, but only have one theory explained in your book chapter. I understand that there are multiple motivators for this behaviour, and that they are all diverse and interesting, but I would consider expanding on your theory and possibly finding a second theory for filicide just to hit the marking criteria for the assignment. Evolutionary theory is very interesting, and you could expand on this by explaining how it relates to animal motivation and the theory of natural selection. If you do this, I would recommend reducing the section on other motivators for filicide so that you hit the 4400 word limit. All the best!! --U3081677 (discuss • contribs) 04:57, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Chiara, your page is looking great!! You have a great structure to work off and everything is really interesting to read. The only thing that I would suggest would be making the case studies / images a little smaller as it looks a little bit blocky being places within the text, you could even try justifying images to the left or right which might help the flow of things. I hope this has helped, once again everything is looking great. TurleyB (discuss • contribs) 11:08, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Friend, Thank you for your contribution to my page (infanticide). In your chapter, you speak about the unwanted child. I have read a lot about female infanticide. It is basically about parents (especially in poorer countries) not being able to afford having a female child and the implications of having multiple girls. I have added a contribution to your page.

Hi, looks great - freaked me out a bit as a parent but well done. I think your graphics are visually perfect and a good size, especially Maslow's pyramid, maybe make the baby a little bigger but other than that well done. U3040525 (discuss • contribs) 06:32, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use: ==Cats and dogs== rather than ==Cats and Dogs== -- Jtneill - Talk - c 04:40, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, what an interesting yet devastating topic you have chosen. i just have a few minor suggestions you may find useful for your page. Firstly, i would suggest you add the drive theory to your book chapter. If you look into it further, it basically discusses how people are willing to go to any length in order to achieve inner peace and return to their state of relaxation- sadly for some this may be a psychological reason as to why the commit filicide. Ref: Compton, A. (1983). The current status of the psychoanalytic theory of instinctual drives: I. Drive concept, classification, and development. The Psychoanalytic Quarterly. Another suggestion i have is to work on the formal of your book chapter. i find some of the pictures a bit big and they distract from your excellent content. Maybe changing some of the formatting may help you feel more confident in your chapter! all the best!

For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Theory Psychological theory is well applied to the topic, with a practical, solution-focused view. The case study(ies) was(were) helpful. Research Research is generally well covered. Some statements were unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) Written expression Written expression is generally excellent. Write in third person rather than first person (e.g., "we") Layout Add bullet-points for See also and External links See earlier comments about heading casing The chapter is well-structured. Several useful Figures are presented. No Tables are used. Figure captions should be more explanatory. Learning features The chapter makes excellent use of interwiki links to other book chapters and to relevant Wikipedia articles. Quiz questions could be used to encourage reader engagement. Spelling, grammar, and proofreading are excellent. APA style Check and correct the APA style for figure captions. The reference list is not in full APA style. Direct quotes need page numbers. For the first citation of a source with three or more authors, include a comma before the "and" or "&"

Overall Overall, this is an excellent all-round presentation. Structure and content Well structured. Theory and research weres well covered. Communication Audio is clear and well-paced. Some slides aren't displayed for long enough (i.e., may need to reduce the amount of content for a 3 min. presentatino). Visuals are simple, clear and easy to read. The combination of images and text is effective. Production quality Excellent image attributions. Overall, well produced. Description field is well utilised, but also include a link back to the chapter. Presentation license is appropriately indicated.
