Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2016/Extreme sport motivation
Comments
editHi there, this definitely is an interesting topic and is linked with mine in external links. I think you should add some information about daredevils, like crusty demons, the dirt bike riders who made high risk jumps while performing stunts and using various other objects, or go into the history of the days of Evil Canival (one of the early daredevils). You could also talk about intrinsic motivation, the reason someone may take part in extreme sports is because not many people do engage in these sports and to be one of the very few that has done it. Also what the role of adrenaline has in extreme sports in the sense of does it make people nervous and anticipate what will happen during the event and the feelings after they have accomoplished it. Keep up the good work be interested to read it once it is completed. U3121724 (discuss • contribs) 11:19, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
Hi there, this definitely could be an interesting read. Physiological factors may also be something you might like to consider adding to this topic, such as release of epinephrine and why that may motivate people.Hope that helps :) HomerIncognito (discuss • contribs) 06:31, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi, this is a really interesting topic. I would interested to read something about if personality types play a role in whether certain people are more likely to engage in extreme sports. Hope that helps. Good luck! can't wait to read your chapter. --U3115468 (discuss • contribs) 03:23, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I found two full-text articles for you about the positive psychological effects of extreme sports. The articles are both studies using fairly small groups - I suppose since there aren't huge numbers of undergrad psych students involved in extreme sport :P - but found interesting themes about the constructive effects of extreme sports in the lives of those who do it. Here are both urls: http://hpq.sagepub.com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/content/18/4/477 http://jhp.sagepub.com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/content/49/1/114
Good luck :)--U3083662 (discuss • contribs) 08:55, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi! I added a template to your overview section to create an inviting first paragraph. Hope this is okay. You can change the colour by going edit and changing the theme number anywhere from 1-4. Good luck with the rest of your chapter!U3115468 (discuss • contribs) 05:00, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
Heading formatting
editJust use the standard formatting for headings (e.g., no bold), to help ensure consistency across the chapters. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 12:51, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
Correct labelling of figures
editHi, I noticed that some of your pictures don't have the correct labelling. Just in case you missed it, it starts with Figure 1. and continues from there. Hope this is helpful!--Jbboys (discuss • contribs) 09:31, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
Structure
editAvoid sections with only sub-section; either add another sub-section or merge the content into the higher-level section. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 22:08, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
References
editRemove numbering of references. Also note that generally issue numbers shouldn't be included - http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2011/10/how-to-determine-whether-a-periodical-is-paginated-by-issue.html -- Jtneill - Talk - c 22:08, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
Comments
editHi, I was very interested in your topic so I thought I would give it a read. I am very impressed, it was really interesting. I took the liberality of removing those number references for you which Neill refereed to. I hope you weren't using them for anything and sorry if you were. I also made some APA changes to your reference list :) - u3119387 23/10/16
