Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Breaking bad habits

Topic suggestion

Hi, I think your chapter is very well written and thorough. However I think a good topic to research would be how learned behaviour creates bad habits. For instance my mother drinks a lot of coca-cola which I always observed. This lead me to drink a lot of coca-cola as I didn't realise it was a bad habit. I think there would be lots of similar situations like that. (~~~~ = Boomboompow4 19:08, 15 August 2024 (UTC)). Boomboompow4 (discuss • contribs) 09:09, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Heading casing

Hi Pelleot. 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 ~~~~

1. Title The title and/or sub-title were not correctly worded and/or formatted (fixed) 2. Headings See earlier comment about Heading casing Basic, 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development (expand) Adopt closer alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings Aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Overview and Conclusion, with up to a similar number of sub-headings for large sections The Overview and Conclusion should not have sub-headings 3. Overview Move the scenario or case study into a feature box (with an image) to the start of this section to help catch reader interest A description of the problem/topic is provided The description overall is too long; move detail into subsequent sections Focus questions look like unacknowledged genAI-generated content; too broad; lacks specificity and understanding of topic 4. Key points Some promising development of key points for each section The topic hasn't been well understood (read the sub-title more closely e.g., doesn't refer to emotion) Insufficient evidence of citation Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples It is doubtful whether the best available psychological theory and research has been consulted in the preparation of this plan Use APA style 7th edition for citations with three or more authors (i.e., FirstAuthor et al., year) Avoid overcapitalisation (APA style) – more info Is this genAI content? If so, it needs to be acknowledged as such in the edit summaries, otherwise it violates academic integrity. 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?) 5. Figure Cite each figure at least once in the main text using APA style (e.g., see Figure 1) Consider increasing image size from to make it easier to view Consider decreasing image size to make it less dominant in relation to the text Well done on creating and uploading your own image! – this can also be listed as a social contribution 6. Learning feature Excellent use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters Excellent use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies Promising use of quiz question(s) Also consider using one or more tables to summarise key information 7. References Insufficient Are there any systematic reviews about this topic? Only include references which have been accessed and read Move non-academic / non-peer reviewed sources to External links All references need to be cited in the text Check and correct APA referencing style: capitalisation include all dois Remember that the goal is to identify and use the best academic theory and research about this topic 8. Resources See also One of two link types provided Also link to relevant Wikipedia pages External links Excellent 9. User page Basic – minimal, but sufficient Brief description about self – 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. A link to the book chapter is provided 10. Social contribution One out of three types of contributions made with with direct link(s) to evidence.
