Overall, this chapter is incomplete and insufficient (it offers less than 300 words for a 4,000 word assignment).
The chapter would benefit from further development of the Overview and Conclusion - it should be possible to only read these sections and get a good sense of why the topic is important and what is known/recommended.
Overview - consider building on the sub-title by establishing focus questions to help guide the reader and the chapter structure.
For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.

Basic development of key points for each section, with relevant citations.
Consider including more examples/case studies.
Rather than referring to "East Asian" and "European" cultures based on geography, consider referring to something like "collectivist" and "individualistic" cultures which is more about their culture.

Relevant research is reasonably well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.
When describing important research findings, consider 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.
Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
Avoid having sections with only one sub-sectio
Learning features
Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.
No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than being presented as a set of questions at the end.
Individual studies made for interesting case studies. Perhaps more individual examples could help make the content more relatable to an everyday audience.
Grammar
The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
~8 logged, useful, social contributions across 2 platforms with direct links to evidence. Most contributions were made in the week before chapters due.

The presentation takes a while (~1 min) to get going/into the specific topic.
Add and narrate an initial title/sub-title slide, to help the viewer understanding the focus and goal of the presentation.
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 basic use of theory.
The presentation makes basic use of research.
The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies.
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?
