Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/Toxic positivity

Initial suggestions

@Lauraei11:

Thanks for tackling this topic.

Some initial suggestions:

• Check out this podcast: https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/allinthemind/toxic-positivity-when-happiness-becomes-harmful/13749368
• Check out other positive psychology chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work.
• 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.

Comprehension Development

Your initial topic development and a solid groundwork and foundational developments. It will look great when it is finished, however some smaller initial changes could be due. Have you considered intertwining the dark triad and different aspects of that theory into your chapter? Personally, I would think there is an abundance of theory of the dark triad and toxic positivity. Good luck on your assessment! --MojoHides (discuss • contribs) 05:43, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Peer suggestion

Hi! You have chosen a very interesting topic! I feel like it is so common to come across or even engage in toxic positivity nowadays, especially with social media encouraging people to keep up a seemingly 'perfect and happy' life. You may find this article helpful: https://ejournal.undiksha.ac.id/index.php/JoPaI/article/view/60616

I look forward to reading it! --Concettazicc (discuss • contribs) 09:32, 23 August 2023 (UTC) Concettazicc (discuss • contribs) 09:31, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Heading casing

Hi Lauraei11. 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 11:27, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Topic development feedback

The topic development submission 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 for editing changes made whilst reviewing this chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date.

Title The title is correctly worded and formatted Remove user name – authorship is as per the list of topics and the page's editing history Headings Basic, 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development by expanding the structure Consider rephrasing all top-level headings between Overview and Conclusion e.g., "5 The harms of toxic positivity" as a question Consider how to integrate theory and research (e.g., currently there is a theory heading but not a research heading) - one way to use theory, research, and examples in tackling the focus questions, but to not have a question/heading for theory per se - this would address the integration criterium for the book chapter marking criteria Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings Overview Large block of text. Abbreviate. Put the scenario into a feature box (with an image) at the start of this section to help catch reader interest Add a brief, evocative description of the problem/topic Use 3rd person perspective (except 1st/2nd person can work for feature boxes/scenarios) Focus questions are aligned with sub-title and top-level headings Align sub-title, focus-questions, and top-level headings Key points Promising development of key points for some sections, with relevant citations For sections which include sub-sections include key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research - check whether the best available psychological theory and research has been identified and selected for the topic Conclusion (the most important section): Hasn't been developed Figure A relevant figure is presented Expand caption to connect to text Use correct capitalisation Cite each figure at least once in the main text Learning feature Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters Scenario in Overview Consider including more examples/case studies, quiz question(s), table(s) etc. References Very good Apply italicisation Resources See also Excellent External links Very good Use sentence casing User page Good 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 At least three different types of contributions with direct link(s) to evidence At least one contribution has been made and summarised with indirect link(s) to evidence When adding the second or subsequent link to a page (or a talk/discussion page), create a direct link like / Add direct links to evidence. To do this: View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page.

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 very good use of psychological theory and limited use of research to 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 Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon Clear focus questions Theory A reasonably good range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Build more strongly on other related chapters and/or Wikipedia articles(e.g., by embedding links to other chapters) Very good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Some use of tables, figures, and/or lists are to help clearly convey key theoretical information Lack of sufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Very good use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts One good use of an example to illustrate theoretical concepts. Consider using more. Consider using more examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Insufficient use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Basic review of relevant research More detail about key studies would be ideal Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? Greater emphasis on effect sizes could be helpful. Lack of sufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Insufficient 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 Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) Integration Basic integration between theory and research The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research Conclusion Reasonably good summary and conclusion Remind the reader about the importance of the problem or phenomenon of interest Key points are summarised Add practical, take-home message(s) Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very good Abbreviations Only use abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e., et al., etc.) inside parentheses APA style 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 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) Do not include author first name or initials References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and correct use of capitalisation[1] Check and correct use of italicisation Learning features Good use of learning features Very good 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. Excellent use of image(s) No use of table(s) Excellent use of feature box(es) No use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) Excellent use of case studies or examples Minimal use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Minimal use of external links in the "External links" section Use sentence casing Social contribution ~3 logged social contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess
