Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Affective touch and emotion

Suggestions

Hi Ratidzo,

the set up of your page looks great so far. I particularly think that the communication aspect of affective touch is interesting. On that point, https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-07213-4 might interest you it looks at the impacts of COVID on touch.

Mainly though it would be great for the flow of your page if you could find real people for case studies a bit like your initial scenario, my thoughts would be people returning after a long absence to their loved ones, in child birth, or after achieving something really hard and getting a hug from a loved one.

hope this helps,

Heading casing

Hi Ratidzo Nyangu. 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 11:49, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Topic development feedback

The topic development submission has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is below, plus see the general feedback page. Please also check the page history for changes made whilst reviewing the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Marks are available via UCLearn. Marks are based on the latest version before the due date.

1. Title The title and/or sub-title were not correctly worded and/or formatted (fixed) 2. Headings Basic, 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development to better align with the original sub-title questi Consider adopting closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings Note that affective touch can also be unpleasant/unwanted. This isn't currently reflected in the proposed chapter. 3. Overview Excellent - Scenario, image, evocative description of the problem/topic, relevant psychological theory/research, and focus questions A scenario or case study is presented in a feature box at the start of this section. Add an image to the scenario to help attract reader interest. A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is provided Reasonably good alignment between focus questions and heading structure, but consider closer alignment 4. Key points Partial development of key points for some sections, with some relevant citations For sections which include sub-sections, include the key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings Avoid providing too much background information. Aim to briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal links to relevant book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title. Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples Lack of sufficient citations. The best peer-reviewed psychological science may not have been used to inform the plan for this chapter. Conclusion (the most important section): Hasn't been developed 5. Figure One or more relevant figure(s) is/are presented and captioned The figure caption(s) provide(s) a clear, appropriately detailed description that is meaningfully connected with the main text Cite each figure at least once in the main text using APA style (e.g., see Figure 1) 6. 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 (see Tutorial 2) Promising use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies Consider including one or more quiz question(s) about the take-home messages Also consider using one or more tables to summarise key information 7. References OK Are there any systematic reviews about this topic? All references need to be cited in the text Check and correct APA referencing style: capitalisation make doi hyperlinks active (i.e., clickable) 8. Resources See also Very good One of two link types provided Also link to relevant Wikipedia pages Use alphabetical order External links OK One of two required external links provided Move Wikipedia link to the See also section 9. User page Good Description about self provided 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. A link to the book chapter is provided 10. Social contribution Two out of three types of contributions made with with direct link(s) to evidence. The other type of contribution is making: direct improvements to other chapters (past or current). The comment provided should go on the discussion page.

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 basic, but sufficient chapter I suspect that some of this chapter is based on unacknowledged use of genAI content; if so, it violates academic integrity principles Basic use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims In some places, better use could be made of academic, peer-reviewed citations Under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Well developed Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image Clearly explains the psychological problem or phenomenon The focus questions are clear and relevant Theory A basic range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Build more strongly on related chapters and/or Wikipedia articles (e.g., by embedding interwiki links for key terms) Basic depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Basic use of tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations Basic use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Insufficient review of relevant research More detail about key studies would be ideal Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? In some places, there is insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations 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 considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Some claims lack sufficient citation Integration Insufficient integration between theory and research Conclusion Basic summary and conclusion Add practical, take-home message(s) Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is basic Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead: it is, most often, not needed at all, or use section linking Layout See earlier comments about heading casing Grammar The grammar for some/many sentences could be improved Consider using a grammar checking tool Another option is to use a services provided by UC, such as Studiosity Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance Check and make correct use of commas Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats')[2] Check and correct use of that vs. who Abbreviations Only use abbreviations such as e.g., i.e., et al., etc. inside parentheses, otherwise spell them out Spelling Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour) APA style Direct quotes need page numbers – even better, communicate about concepts in your own words Direct quotes are overused – it is better to communicate about concepts in your own words Figures Well captioned Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., "(see Figure 1)") Citations use basic APA style (7th ed.). To improve: Do not include author first name or initials References use basic APA style: Check and correct use of capitalisation[3] Check and correct use of italicisation Move non-peer reviewed links into the External links section Learning features Basic use of learning features No use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text 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. Basic use of figure(s) No use of table(s) Basic use of feature box(es) Basic use of scenarios, case studies, or examples Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Add more links Basic use of external links in the "External links" section Use sentence casing Social contribution ~3 logged, mostly minor contributions with direct links to evidence

Multimedia presentation 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 an insufficient presentation mainly because it lacks audio Overview An opening slide with the title is displayed. Also display and narrate the sub-title — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Create an engaging introduction to hook audience interest (e.g., by introducing a case study or scenario) Establish a context for the presentation (e.g., by using an example or explaining why it is important), to help the viewer understand Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation. Content Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section The presentation addresses the topic The presentation makes reasonably good use of relevant psychological theory There is no acknowledgement that affective touch can be unwanted/unpleasant The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological research Ideally, make more explicit use of research The presentation makes basic use of citations to support claims The presentation makes eno use of examples The presentation provides some practical advice The presentation provides easy to understand information Conclusion The conclusion provides a basic summary of the most relevant psychological theory and research about this topic Audio There is no audio Video Overall, visual display quality is reasonably good The presentation makes reasonably good 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 reasonably good way by relevant images and/or diagrams The presentation is basically produced using simple tools Meta-data The chapter title is used, but the sub-title (or a shortened version of it) is not used, as the name of the presentation. The sub-title (or an abbreviation of the sub-title that fits within the 100 character limit) would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. A link to the book chapter is not provided A link from the book chapter is provided Licensing Image sources and their copyright status are not clearly indicated A copyright license for the presentation is not clearly indicated
