Differences between poor and good ageing

edit

It may be interesting to create a table looking at the differences and effects of poor emotional regulation and ageing as well as good emotional regulation and ageing. This will allow a reader to get a good grasp of the importance of maintaining and understanding the topic. --U3187381 (discusscontribs) 08:05, 30 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Feedback

Hey, this is looking great. There are some small things that i found while reading. Within the first section about theory, the first sentence seems quite factual and i would suggest adding a reference here. Secondly the section about how to improve emotion regulation later in life is great, however i would suggest to maybe add some links or examples for how the reader can practice this themselves. For example when talking about mindfulness it could be helpful to add a 'pretty box' that has an example of a mindfulness activity. The headspace app could even be helpful for this (https://www.headspace.com/mindfulness). This is if you have the space to fit this into your chapter. Looks really good though! --U3187381 (discusscontribs) 09:34, 17 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Title and sub-title

edit
  1. Excellent

User page

edit
  1. Excellent - used effectively
  2. Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks.

Social contribution

edit
  1. Excellent - summarised with direct link(s) to evidence.

Section headings

edit
  1. Remove extra numbering from headings
  2. Keep the background emotion regulation material relatively brief - and link to other related chapters and/or Wikipedia articles. Then concentrate most of the chapter on the relation between ER and ageing.
  3. Reasonably good 2-level heading structure - could benefit from further development of the ER and ageing material.

Key points

edit
  1. Overall, well developed.
  2. Writing tip: Trim out superfloud words and cut to the chase - I've changed the beginnings of a few paragraphs by way of example.
  3. Avoid providing too much background information. Briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal wiki links to other book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content of this chapter on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title.
  4. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters.
  5. Consider including more examples/case studies.
  6. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. what might the take-home, practical messages be?
    2. in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question in the sub-title?

Image

edit
  1. Excellent
  2. Cite each figure at least once in the main text.

References

edit
  1. OK
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. capitalisation
    2. italicisation

  2. See also
    1. Include source in brackets after link
    2. Also link to relevant Wikipedia pages
  3. External links
    1. Very good
    2. Moved to end
