Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Dopamine fasting

My recommendation:

edit

Hi @emdawson02! I really like your initial example of friend A and friend B, but I thought it could be even more engaging if you included an image of two friends to give the scenario some imagery :) Keep up the good work! Emeweme (discusscontribs) 04:13, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Heading casing

edit
 
Hi Emdawson02. 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

@Emdawson02: This is a reminder about the capitalisation of headings and sub-headings. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 22:42, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply


Topic development feedback

edit

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. The title and/or sub-title were not correctly worded and/or formatted (fixed)
  2. User name removed – authorship is as per the list of topics and the page's editing history
  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Basic, 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development (expand)
  3. Adopt closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings
  4. 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
  1. A scenario or case study is presented in a feature box with an image at the start of this section
  2. Explain the connection between the scenario and the topic (DF and M/E)
  3. Add a brief, evocative description of the problem/topic
  4. Closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings is recommended
  5. These focus questions are too broad/unrelated to the target topic (see the sub-title and unpack it to allow you to synthesise the best psychological science that answers the sub-title question)
  1. Partial development of key points for some sections, with some relevant citations
  2. Too much about definitional/tangential matters; too little about the relationship between DF and M/E
  3. 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.
  4. Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples
  5. It is unclear whether the best available psychological theory and research has been consulted in the preparation of this plan
  6. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Under developed
    2. 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?)
  1. Excellent - A relevant figure is presented, captioned, and cited
  1. One use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  2. Promising use of example(s)/case study(ies) but ideally make it more obvious how the scenario relates to a take-away message
  3. Consider including more examples/case studies, quiz question(s), table(s) etc.
  1. Insufficient
  2. Are there any systematic reviews about this topic?
  3. Move non-academic / non-peer reviewed sources to External links
  4. Check and correct APA referencing style:
    1. italicisation
    2. doi formatting
  5. Remember that the goal is to identify and use the best academic theory and research about this topic
  1. See also
    1. OK
    2. One of two link types provided
    3. Rename links so that they are more user friendly (see Tutorial 02)
    4. Include source in brackets after link
    5. Include "(Book chapter, year)" after links to other motivation and emotion book chapters on Wikiversity
    6. Also link to relevant Wikipedia pages
    7. Use alphabetical order
  2. External links
    1. Not developed
  1. Created – minimal, but sufficient
  2. Very brief description about self – consider expanding
  3. 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.
  4. A link to the book chapter is provided
  1. One out of three types of contributions made with with indirect link(s) to evidence
  2. The other types of contribution are making:
    1. direct improvements to other book chapters (past or current)
    2. posts about the unit or project on other platforms
  3. If 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.

Overall

edit
  1. Overall, this is a promising chapter in terms of its readability and general theoretical background, but it provides insufficient integrated review of relevant research
  2. The chapter is written in plain language, which provides excellent readability
  3. There is some useful theoretical background
  4. More detail about dopamine fasting interventions would be useful
  5. More examples would be useful
  6. Use of academic, peer-reviewed citations is lacking in many places (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  7. There is insufficient critical review of relevant research
  8. Well under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand
  9. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Well developed
  2. Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image
  3. Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon
  4. Clear focus questions
  1. A basic range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained
  2. I didn't get a good sense of where "dopamine fasting" comes from and what its cultural history is from the way in which the concept was introduced.
  3. Ideally, provide more emphasis on dopamine fasting theory.
  4. A promising range of ideas are presented but it is not clear whether this material is derived from a first person reading of the best peer-reviewed psychological theory and research about this topic
  5. Build more strongly on related chapters and/or Wikipedia articles (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters) and move the current embedded external links to the External links section
  6. Reasonably good depth is provided about relevant theory(ies)
  7. Use tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information
  8. Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  9. Basic use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts. Consider using more.
  1. Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  2. Insufficient critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  3. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. discussing the direction of relationships
    3. considering the strength of relationships
    4. acknowledging limitations
    5. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    6. suggesting specific directions for future research
  4. Many claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  1. Basic integration between theory and research
  2. The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research
  1. Basic summary and conclusion
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is reasonably good
    2. 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
  2. Layout
    1. Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see [Provide more detail] tags)
  3. APA style
    1. Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    2. Use serial commas[2]. Video (1 min)
    3. Citations use excellent APA style (7th ed.)
      1. Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section
    4. References use basic APA style:
      1. Check and correct use of italicisation
      2. Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section
  1. Basic use of learning features
  2. One 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.
  3. Move links to non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section
  4. Basic use of image(s)
  5. No use of table(s)
  6. Basic use of feature box(es)
  7. Basic use of case studies or examples
  8. Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  9. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
    1. Also include links to related Wikipedia articles
    2. Use sentence casing
    3. Use alphabetical order
  10. Excellent use of external links in the "External links" section
  1. ~3 logged, minor social contributions with indirect links to evidence
