Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2020/COVID-19 pandemic impacts on motivation and emotion

Suggestion

Hi, what a relevant and interesting topic. I think adding an additional image would add more interest to your page. I found the following Wikipedia page which links in nicely with your topic. It discusses pandemic fatigue and how this affects people psychologically. w: Pandemic fatigue --U3186377 (discuss • contribs) 10:40, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Hey, awesome topic. I would love to see if there are some statistics on other world pandemics in contrast to COVID and how they have affected us in different ways. Good luck :) sydney

Hey this is such a great topic! If you wanted to do some further research this Leana Wen tedtalk on living with COVID is a great one! https://www.ted.com/talks/leana_wen_our_new_normal_learning_to_live_with_coronavirus?language=en --U3202324 (discuss • contribs) 10:25, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Suggestion

Hey there, I would suggest presenting your chapter with some really in-depth research looking at the effects of covid-19 on psychological health, i.e. there was a massive increase of domestic violence due to the restrictions, as well as increased depression and anxiety as well. A lot of the media looks at physical health but I think discussing the physiological costs of the pandemic would be really interesting and relevant, especially to the people who don't have covid but are still suffering. Take a look at these articles https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7152913/ https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/jocn.15296 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41398-020-00982-4

Hi! I feel that your topic will be extremely interesting to look at during the ongoing pandemic! :) May I suggest also looking into the lack of social interaction and how it may affect university studies? I feel like this could also be a good angle to work from! Here's a couple of links that I hope will help you: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02602930701698892?casa_token=3zEP-ErwSTIAAAAA%3ASA8qCLY5J1lfk2jeeEdYTitXFLDnTRfGgibBSPH0GxEhKf-5kl4i9-D3FpF6SlC0cn_DjgbwWFYMmg and https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/jeductechsoci.7.3.73.pdf U3169316 (discuss • contribs) 02:32, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Australian context?

@U3144808.Lillian: regarding the note that "This is written based on the Australian Response to Covid-19, as of August 2020". Currently the title and sub-title don't specify a regional focus. So, the scope should be global, although local jurisdictions could be used an examples or case studies. Alternatively, if the focus is going to be on the Australian context, be aware that there may be a lack of literature and that we should adjust the title and sub-title accordingly, so that the response is aligned with the question.

False information

Could be worth looking at how the spread of false information through social media or even political parties has impacted the spread of the Covid --Jackson McNee (discuss • contribs) 01:07, 24 September 2020 (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 01:12, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

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. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via UCLearn, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is an insufficient chapter. The main areas for improvement include: Shift the focus from an Australian context to an international context. Specific countries could be used as examples or case studies. There is a lack of adequate academic referencing. Title adjusted to match the main book table of contents. The chapter could benefit from further development of the focus questions in the Overview This chapter is well under the maximum word count. Addressing the topic development feedback could have helped to improve this chapter. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits. Theory Overall, this chapter makes insufficient use of theory. Research Overall, this chapter makes some use of research, but it is insufficient. When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicating the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful. Written expression Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is below professional standard. UC Study Skills assistance is recommended to help improve writing skills to a professional standard. Internationalise: Write for an international, not just a domestic audience. Australians make up only 0.32% of the world human population. Direct quotes should be embedded within sentences and paragraphs, rather than dumped holus-bolus. Even better, communicate the concept in your own words. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences. Layout Headings are poorly chosen and don't accurately reflect the content. Headings should use default wiki style (e.g., remove additional bold). See earlier comments about heading casing. Learning features Format bullet-points and numbered lists, per Tutorial 1. No use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project. Use in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters. Insufficient use of image(s). This image was uploaded and falsely claimed as your own work . No use of table(s). Basic use of feature box(es). Basic use of quiz(zes). The question asked was trivial. Instead, ask about key take-away messages from the chapter. Grammar The grammar for many sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags). Check and correct use of semi-colons (;) and colons (:). Check and make correct use of commas. Check and correct use of that vs. who. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[1]. Spelling Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the tags). Proofreading More proofreading is needed to fix typos and bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard. Covid-19 (incorrect) -> COVID-19 (correct) APA style Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.. Figures and tables Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1). Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text. References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and correct use of italicisation. Retrieved from is not used for APA style 7th ed. Include actively hyperlinked dois. Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section. Social contribution No logged social contributions.

Comments on resubmitted book chapter

These revisions have been reviewed. Comments:

1. Description of the impact of COVID-19 in the Overview has been improved. However, there is still an insufficient focus on motivational and emotional aspects and there is still an overly Australian, rather than international, focus.
2. Citation of some additional research has been included (e.g., Salari et al., 2020) but the material is basically a repeat of the study abstract, so little independent understanding is demonstrated.
3. Academic peer-reviewed referencing has been improved but there is still an overreliance on non-academic/non-peer-reviewed sources.
4. Reporting abouthelpline usage has been improved.
5. Reporting about domestic violence impacts has been considerably improved although is lacking sufficient academic referencing.
6. A source for the case study about Lele is not provided - it appears to be plagiarised from https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/06/world/coronavirus-domestic-violence.html
7. A useful consideration of the psychological impacts of mask-wearing has been added, considered in terms of social identity theory.
8. Material about COVID-19 impacts on educational and work motivation has been incorporated.
9. A section about benefits of COVID-19 has been included.
10. The Conclusion has been rewritten.
11. More peer-reviewed references have been included, but there is still an overreliance on non-academic sources.
12. A mixture of referencing styles is used (wiki style and APA style), rather than adopting a single style.

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn 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 an insufficient presentation. The presentation is over the maximum time limit - content beyond 3 mins is ignored for marking purposes. Structure and content This presentation doesn't adequately address the topic. Most of the comments about the book chapter content also apply here (e.g., especially addressing the topic, using psychological theory and research, and addressing an international audience). What are the practical take-home message(s) that we can use to help improve our everyday lives based on the best available psychological theory and research about this topic? Communication The presentation makes very basic use of text based slides with narrated audio. The visual communication could be improved by including some relevant images. The audio communication is hesitant - could benefit from further practice. Production quality Communicate the chapter title and sub-title in both the video title and on the opening slide - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Audio recording quality was OK - probably an on-board microphone was used. Consider using an external microphone. Visual display quality was basic. A copyright license for the presentation is not provided. A link to the book chapter is provided. A link from the book chapter is provided. An adequate written description of the presentation is not provided.
