For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions. Headings Excellent Well developed 2-level heading structure, with meaningful headings that directly relate to the core topic Use of questions for headings is effective Key points Key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations Check out People's Postcode Lottery Use British/Australian spelling (e.g., analyze -> analyse; behavior -> behaviour) Perhaps consider the hedonic treadmill (the idea that people have a baseline level of happiness that they return to, regardless of good and bad events) Overview - well planned. Consider adding: an image an example or case study Good balance of theory and research, with an applied focus Excellent use of 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 Conclusion (the most important section): well developed what might the take-home, practical messages be? in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title? Figure A figure is presented Caption should include Figure X. ... Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text Cite each figure at least once in the main text References Very good For APA referencing style, check and correct: doi formatting - hyperlinks should be clickable Resources Excellent

Suggestion

Hi! This is a really good topic and I thought it was little bit similar to mine! I just wanted to suggest perhaps you could write about the not only the addictive qualities of gambling but also the reward pathway that motivates it! Perhaps you could discuss the neurological pathways associated with the lottery pursuit. (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10899-011-9278-5) Good luck! --U3204694 (discuss • contribs) 05:54, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

RE: Helpful suggested articles

Hi! I just read through your chapter and I thought you might find the following journal articles interesting :) The first follows lottery winners in a longitudinal study and discusses a model of cognitive dissonance in relation to deservedness of winning. Usually people don't feel like they don't deserve the money, but over time they adapt and fully enjoy their winnings. I thought it might be useful under the "positive impacts" emotional section

Oswald, A. J., & Winkelmann, R. (2008). Delay and deservingness after winning the lottery (Working Paper No. 0815). Working Paper. https://www.econstor.eu/handle/10419/76207

Access here: https://www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10419/76207/1/612408701.pdf

The second article discusses the "wealth shock" associated with winning the lottery, and uses a model to explain the long/short term effects on happiness.

Sherman, A., Shavit, T., & Barokas, G. (2020). A Dynamic Model on Happiness and Exogenous Wealth Shock: The Case of Lottery Winners. Journal of Happiness Studies, 21(1), 117–137. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10902-019-00079-w

I hope there are helpful! Good luck --u3197931 (discuss • contribs) 02:29, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Tables

Hey love the chapter content! I was thinking you could add in some tables to consolidate the information for easier digestion for the readers :) --Brianna Meddemmen (discuss • contribs) 12:17, 17 October 2021 (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. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a solid chapter that makes good use of psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits. Overview Solid Overview. Clear focus question(s). The focus questions could be improved by being more specific to the topic (i.e., the sub-title). Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest. Theory — Breadth Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained. The chapter doesn't wander off into discussion of irrelevant theory. Theory — Depth Appropriate depth is provided about the selected theory(ies). Some useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts. Research — Key findings Relevant research is reviewed. More detail about key studies would be ideal. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful. Research — Critical thinking Basic critical thinking about research is evident. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations suggesting specific directions for future research Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags). Integration Discussion of theory and research is well integrated. Conclusion Key points are well summarised. Add practical, take-home message(s). Written expression — Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very good. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead: it is, most often, not needed at all, or use section linking. "People" is often a better term than "individuals". Layout The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections. Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings. Headings should use default wiki style (e.g., remove additional bold). See earlier comments about heading casing. Provide more descriptive headings (e.g., consider using a brief description of the key point for the section titled "*"?). Grammar Check and correct use of that vs. who. APA style Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.. Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used as an ironic comment, as slang, or as an invented or coined expression; use quotation marks only for the first occurrence of the word or phrase, not for subsequent occurrences" (APA 7th ed., 2020, p. 159). Figures and tables APA style is used for Figure captions. Each Table and Figure is referred to at least once within the main text. Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example: Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses. References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and correct use of capitalisation[1] Check and correct use of italicisation Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) Written expression — Learning features Overall, the use of learning features is good. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to 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. Basic use of image(s). No use of table(s). Good use of feature box(es). No use of quiz(zes). Good use of case studies or examples. Social contribution ~8 logged, useful, mostly minor social contributions across two platforms with direct links to evidence.

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 very good presentation. The presentation is under the maximum time limit. Overview An opening slide with the title and sub-title is presented and narrated - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. A context for the topic is established. The importance of this topic is explained. Content Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section. The presentation addresses the topic. The presentation is well structured. The presentation makes excellent use of relevant psychological theory. The presentation makes very good use of relevant psychological research. The presentation makes good use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice. Conclusion A Conclusion slide is presented with a basic take-home message(s). The presentation could be strengthened by expanding on the take-home message (e.g., answers to more than one focus question). Audio The audio is easy to follow and interesting to listen to. The presentation makes effective use of narrated audio. Audio communication is clear. Consider slowing down a little and leaving longer pauses between sentences. This can help the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point. Audio recording quality was good. Video Overall, visual display quality is very good. The presentation makes effective use of text and image based slides. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read. The resolution on some of the slides was low, making the text a little fuzzy. The amount of text presented per slide makes it easy to read and listen at the same time. The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images and/or diagrams. The presentation is well produced using simple tools. Meta-data The chapter title and sub-title are used in the name of the presentation - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding. Links to and from the book chapter are provided. Licensing Image sources and their copyright status are communicated. A copyright license for the presentation is not provided.
