Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2020/Climate change denial motivation

Wicked Problem

Looking forward to reading the values and world view section as well as the psychological factors. I found the framing of Climate Change as a 'wicked problem' very fascinating when studying the climate change and business futures unit at UC. --U3145017 (discuss • contribs) 14:51, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Research article

Thought this might be an interesting article for your topic! https://www.researchgate.net/publication/311915469_Denial_Versus_Reality_of_Climate_Change --U3187486 (discuss • contribs) 11:58, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for sentence casing. For example, the wikitext should be: == Cats and mice == rather than == Cats and Mice == -- Jtneill - Talk - c 06:42, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.

Title and sub-title Very good Formatting adjusted User page Not created Social contribution None summarised with link(s) to evidence. Section headings Overall, a simple but effective 2-level structure. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an overview paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings. See earlier comment about Heading casing. Key points Overall, the proposed chapter looks promising. Consider providing a little more info/background about the psychology of "denial" (e.g., what else might be "denied" (e.g., anti-vaccination, thinking about death, health screening) and why? And how does this relate to CCD? How is CCD similar to or different from other types of psychological denial?). A lot of what is proposed in the "What motivates people to partake in climate change denial?" section is actually not specific to CCD, so perhaps put this instead in an earlier section about the psychology of denial, so that the "What motivates people to partake in climate change denial?" can be more the specific application of these theories to CCD and CCD research. APA style for citations includes a comma in this situation: (Surname1, Surname2, & Surname 3) rather than (Surname1, Surname2 & Surname 3). Avoid providing too much background information (e.g., about climate change). Briefly summarise generic concepts such as climate change and provide internal wiki links to further information. Then focus most of the content on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters. Consider including more examples/case studies. Image An image (figure) is presented. Caption uses APA style. explains how the image connects to key points being made in the main text. Cite each figure at least once in the main text. References Excellent Resources See also Use bullet-points (see Tutorial 1) External links Include source in brackets after link

Social identity denial for climate change

There is some good research available on how what community an individual identities with can impact their beliefs on climate change. Further, there is examples of how to influence deniers. I have added a link to a good paper if you're interested https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00121/full --Jackson McNee (discuss • contribs) 00:58, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Additional information

I would be interested to read a subheading or section on the effects of climate change denial on the effects of believers, and suggest you could potentially look at cognitive dissonance as a factor causing or sustaining the denial. U3202026 (discuss • contribs) 06:36, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Interactive learning features

Hi, this looks like a great start to a very interesting topic. However, I noticed that you don't have a quiz. Part of the criteria is to have an interactive learning feature. This is a super quick and easy section to add, and helps engage learners. Here's a link to a Wikiversity help page for setting up quizzes. U3189449 (discuss • contribs) 23:49, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Motivations behind denial

I thought you might be able to discuss the different motivations that can cause this denial. I know my grandfather spent made his livelihood in fracking and lithium mining. He uses this denial as a defence mechanism. Maybe look into the Freud defence mechanism denial and why people do it. Maybe discuss how a lot of people who have very little scientific knowledge on the topic are being so vocal. Maybe also look into conspiracy theories and why people cling to them. Good luck! --U3201178 (discuss • contribs) 06:01, 14 October 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 a very good chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits. Theory Relevant theories are well selected, described, integrated, and explained. Research Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory. 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. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags). Written expression Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very good. The chapter benefited from a well developed Overview and Conclusion, with clear focus question(s) and take-home messages. Layout Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections. See earlier comments about heading casing. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections. Learning features Very good use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Links should go to the main Wikipedia articles, rather than Simple Wikipedia articles. 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. Format bullet-points (e.g., for the See also section), per Tutorial 1. Basic use of image(s). No use of table(s). Basic use of feature box(es). No use of quiz(zes). Grammar Check and make correct use of commas. Use serial commas[1] - they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's a 1 min. explanatory video. APA style Citations are not in full APA style. For example: There should be no comma before "&" when there are two authors. If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year. For example, either: in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020) Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets. References use correct APA style. Social contribution ~3 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence. No Wikiversity social contributions.

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 a reasonably good presentation. Structure and content Comments about the book chapter also apply to this section. An appropriate amount of content is presented - not too much or too little. The presentation is well structured. Consider adding and narrating an Overview slide (e.g., with focus questions), to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered. The presentation makes excellent use of theory. The presentation makes little use of research. The presentation provides practical advice. A Conclusion slide is presented with a take-home message(s). Communication The presentation is interesting to watch and listen to. The presentation makes effective use of text and image based slides with narrated audio. Well paced. Excellent pauses between sentences. This helps the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point. Excellent intonation to enhance listener interest and engagement. Consider improving articulation to enhance the clarity of speech. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read. The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images. Production quality The video is well produced using simple tools. The chapter title and sub-title are used in the name of the presentation - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. The sub-title is missing on the opening slide - this would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Audio recording quality was good, although a little quiet. Visual display quality was basic but effective. Image sources and their copyright status are provided. A copyright license for the presentation is provided. A copyright license for the presentation is provided in the video description but not in the meta-data. A link to the book chapter is provided. A link from the book chapter is provided. A written description of the presentation is provided.
