Heading casing edit

 
Hi U3203545. 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

Interactive component edit

Hi, You have the beginnings of a wonderful chapter. I can see how much work you have put in. One way you can make your chapter a bit more interactive is by adding a quiz at the end of a section, rather than a summary.

Keep writing! U3216256 (discusscontribs) 23:08, 26 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Suggestion edit

Hi there, your chapter looks fantastic! One question I had is about your definition - you credit Richard Lazarus and Jennifer Goetz, but they don't appear in your reference list, and your in-text citation is Nussbaum. I'm not sure if you ended up changing direction here and just haven't finished editing, but for such a central concept, it would be good to have a primary source citation. You could look at Lazarus, R. (1991). Emotion and adaptation. New York: Oxford University Press or Goetz, J. L., Keltner, D., & Simon-Thomas, E. (2010). Compassion: an evolutionary analysis and empirical review. Psychological bulletin, 136(3), 351–374. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0018807. Or if the definition you've used is Nussbaum's, maybe delete the Lazarus/Goetz note since they're not referred to again and their significance is unclear? I'm really nitpicking, though, you've done an amazing job! U3141987 (discusscontribs) 10:31, 14 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
