Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/Mental imagery and emotion

Initial suggestions

@U3224269: Thanks for tackling this topic. Some initial suggestions:

• Check out other related chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work:
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Cognitive
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Emotion
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Visualisation
• What psychological theories can help to understand? What is the main research in this area?

Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 10:00, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello James, thank you for your suggestions! They are very helpful. MaryamNageeb (discuss • contribs) 07:57, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

• Hi Maryam, what an interesting topic you've chosen! I can see you've listed a few ideas you're going to explore for your chapter and I thought of possibly one more you could explore:
  • How imagery-based mindfulness techniques can foster emotional regulation?

Good luck with the topic, I look forward to reading your chapter as it develops! Sincerely, Vanessa U3223114 (discuss • contribs) 09:06, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Vanessa, Thank you for suggesting an idea to explore. I think it would be beneficial to explore this concept. I appreciate your time. MaryamNageeb (discuss • contribs) 07:58, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Heading casing

Hi MaryamNageeb. 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 -- Jtneill - Talk - c 10:49, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello James, thank you for this recommendation, I will make the changes!! MaryamNageeb (discuss • contribs) 11:19, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date.

Title The title and sub-title did not match the wording in the list of topics - changes should be negotiated I've moved the page so the name now includes "mental" and added it to the sub-title on the list of topics Make sure the exact new wording is reflected in the chapter page's title and sub-title Headings Promising 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development by expanding the structure Remove definitions section and just incorporating definitions into the Overview or other sections; or rename this section so that is more substative than definitions Headings should now reflect focus on "mental imagery" Consider adopting closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings Quiz doesn't need separate heading; just embed questions in their relevant sections Remove author name Remove (CBT) Use open-ended question for "6 Is mental imagery beneficial for emotion regulation?" - or drop section (could be merged with previous section) Overview Very good Put opening two paragraphs into a feature box at the start of the Overview; consider also including an image in the box, to help attract reader interest Use 3rd person perspective except in scenarios/feature boxes See comment in previous section focus questions Key points Promising development of key points for each section, with relevant citations Avoid providing too much background information. Briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal wiki links to relevant book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content of this on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title. Avoid being overly clinically-focused, although clinical examples can be useful. Make sure the messaging if for a general audience. For sections which include sub-sections include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings Promising balance of theory and research Conclusion (the most important section): Underway What might the take-home, practical messages be? (What are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?) Figure A relevant figure is presented, captioned, and cited Learning feature One use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters Promising use of example(s)/case study(ies) Consider including more quiz question(s), table(s) etc. References Good For APA referencing style, check and correct: alphabetical order capitalisation Resources See also Good Also link to relevant Wikipedia pages Not developed External links OK Rename links so that they are more user friendly (see Tutorial 02) Include source in brackets after link User page Good Remove extra formatting from headings Description about self provided – consider expanding 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. Link provided to book chapter Social contribution Excellent – at least three different types of contributions with direct link(s) to evidence

Book 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 reasonably good chapter. It makes reasonably good use of psychological theory and research to help address a real-world phenomenon or problem. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Well developed Engages reader interest by introducing a case study and/or scenario with an image in a feature box image Reasonably clearly explains the problem or phenomenon Clear focus questions Theory A reasonably good range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Overly heavy reliance on Cabanac (2002) as a source The chapter takes a strongly cognitive perspective, with some neurological theory; perhaps also consider other perspectives A notable chunk of the theoretical content seems to be only tangentially related to mental imagery and emotion - or at least, place stronger emphasis on the mental imagery aspects e.g., for cognitive reappraisal theory schema therapy Overall, probably too much emphasis on clinical/therapeutic/psychopathology because the sub-title question is more focused on positive aspects: "How can mental imagery be used to regulate emotions?". For example, what about mental imagery and optimal emotion for elite performance? Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters) Reasonably good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) No use of tables and/or lists are to help clearly convey key theoretical information Consider using more examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Reasonably good review of relevant research Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? Greater emphasis on effect sizes could be helpful. Reasonably good critical thinking about relevant research is evident Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies discussing the direction of relationships considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Integration Very good integration between theory and research Conclusion Reasonably good summary and conclusion Key points are summarised Add practical, take-home message(s) Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is good Some paragraphs are overly long. Communicate one key idea per paragraph in three to five sentences. Layout Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see tags) 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" (APA 7th ed., 2020, p. 159) Direct quotes need page numbers – even better, write in your own words Figures Figures are well captioned Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., see Figure 1) Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example: 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) References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and correct use of capitalisation[1] Formatting for page numbers Learning features Excellent/Very good/Good/Basic/Insufficient use of learning features Basic use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text even more interactive. See example. 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. Very good use of image(s) No use of table(s) Good use of feature box(es) Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) The quiz questions could be improved by being more focused on the mental imagery and emotion key points and/or take-home messages Basic use of case studies or examples Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Also include links to related Wikipedia articles Basic use of external links in the "External links" section Include sources in parentheses Social contribution ~17 logged, mostly useful, mostly minor to moderate social contributions with direct links to evidence

Overall Overall, this is a very good to excellent presentation Overview An opening slide with the title and sub-title is displayed and narrated — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation Very engaging introduction to hook audience interest A context for the topic is clearly established through an example Focus questions and/or an outline of topics are presented Content Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section The presentation addresses the topic An appropriate amount of content is presented — not too much or too little The presentation makes excellent use of relevant psychological theory The presentation makes basic, implied use of relevant psychological research; ideally include more explicit review/synthesis of research The therapeutic context is an applied example; but the target topic is broader than therapy The presentation includes citations to support claims The presentation makes very good use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice The presentation provides practical, easy to understand information Conclusion A Conclusion slide is presented with excellent take-home message(s) Audio The audio is easy to follow and interesting to listen to The presentation makes effective use of narrated audio Audio communication is well paced Excellent intonation enhances listener interest and engagement The narration is well practiced and/or performed Audio recording quality was very good Probably an on-board microphone was used (e.g., keyboard and/or mouse clicks were audible). Consider using an external microphone. The narrated content is well matched to the target topic (see content) (more research evidence would be ideal) Video Overall, visual display quality is excellent/very good/good/reasonably good/basic The presentation makes creative use of images and stock video The presentation makes effective/good/basic use of animated slides and/or stock video The presentation makes effective/good/basic use of text and image based slides The presentation makes basic use of text-based slides The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read The visual communication is supplemented in a good way by images and/or diagrams The theories slide could be split in several slides (it is used for over 1 min) The presentation is well produced using simple tools The visual content is well matched to the target topic (see content) (more research evidence would be ideal) Meta-data The chapter title and sub-title (or an abbreviation to fit within the 100 character limit) 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. A link to the book chapter is not provided A link from the book chapter is provided The presentation is incorrectly categorised as being for kids. This introduces limitations, such as being unable to add the presentation to a playlist. More info.
