Initial suggestions

@Krutipatil: 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/Death
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Motivation
• Also search past book chapters for related topics
• For the topic development, consider:
  • What psychological theory(ies) can help to understand and explain this topic?
  • What is the main research in this area?Let me know if I can do anything else to support the development of this chapter.

Life regrets

I wonder if the research about what people regret later in life might be useful?---- Jtneill - Talk - c 08:31, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

you could add to this by researching if people take advice from others about what they regret? Biancagouws (discuss • contribs) 09:15, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Heading casing

Hi Krutipatil. 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 05:30, 23 August 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 sub-title are correctly worded and formatted 2. Headings See earlier comment about Heading casing Promising 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development by expanding the structure Adopt closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings Definition(s) tend to be pedestrian headings. Incorporate definitional material into the Overview and/or subsequent sections with embedded inter-wiki link(s) to further information. 3. Overview Add a scenario or case study in 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 Present focus questions in a feature box at the end of this section 4. Key points Basic development of key points for each section, with relevant citations 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. For sections which include sub-sections, include the key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings It is unclear whether the best available psychological theory and research has been consulted in the preparation of this plan For example, consider referring to the concept of mortality salience Replace citations to internet webpages with citations of peer-reviewed academic literature Use APA style 7th edition for citations with three or more authors (i.e., FirstAuthor et al., year) Conclusion (the most important section): Under developed 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 A relevant figure is presented and captioned Cite each figure at least once in the main text using APA style 6. Learning feature One in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters used (see Tutorial 2) Consider use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies Promising use of quiz question(s) Focus the quiz question(s) on the take-home messages for each focus question Also consider using one or more tables to summarise key information 7. References OK Are there any systematic reviews about this topic? 3 out of 6 references provided Check and correct APA referencing style: capitalisation italicisation 8. Resources See also Move the external link to the external links section Also link to related book chapters Also link to relevant Wikipedia pages Include source in brackets after link (e.g., (Wikipedia) or (Book chapter, year) for Wikiversity book chapters) External links Not developed 9. User page Good 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 None summarised on user page with direct link(s) to evidence. This was explained in Tutorial 03. Looking ahead to the book chapter submission, see social contributions.
