Topic Suggestion - Something to cover?
editHi there,
In one of my other courses at the moment we were talking about self-serving biases (the tendency to see oneself favourably - or above average). We talked about how it is a function of how we process and remember info about ourselves - we are motivated to enhance our own self-image. This can be either adaptive (protects us from depression) or maladaptive (blame others for failure rather than accept responsibility). Let me know if you have any more questions - the classic example that people tend to use is the 'rate yourself as a driver' study. Hope this helps!

Heading casing
editHi RussellP1. 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 09:25, 29 October 2024 (UTC) |

General feedback
editHey!
Your page on Better-than-average effect (BTAE) is engaging. Here are a few suggestions to enhance your chapter:
Deepen the Explanation of Psychological Factors: You have touched on Self-Enhancement Theory and Social Comparison Theory. However, diving deeper into the neurobiological mechanisms behind these theories could add more depth. For instance, how do dopamine levels influence self-esteem and motivation in the context of BTAE?
Expand on Consequences: While you have mentioned overconfidence and resistance to feedback, it would be beneficial to provide more real-life examples or case studies that illustrate these consequences. This can make the content more relatable and impactful. U3219927 (discuss • contribs) 11:18, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
