Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Humour and stress relief

Initial suggestions

@U3236303: 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/Humour
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Stress
• 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.

Heading casing

Hi U3236303. 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 ~~~~

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 Problematic 2-level heading structure. Too much focus on background concepts. Too little focus on the target topic. Revise. Revise focus questions and adopt closer alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and 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 The description is too long. Abbreviate. Move relevant detail into subsequent sections. Closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings is recommended The first and fourth questions are not questions The first and second questions are not relevant to this topic (too general) 4. Key points Insufficient development of key points that demonstrate an excellent plan to synthesise the best psychological science (theory and research) about the target topic Insufficient use of relevant peer-reviewed citations Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples It is unclear whether the best available psychological theory and research has been consulted in the preparation of this plan 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. Consider using the Studiosity service and/or a service like Grammarly to help improve the quality of written expression such as checking grammatical and spelling errors Conclusion (the most important section) hasn't been 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 One or more relevant figure(s) presented and captioned The figure caption(s) could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text Cite each figure using APA style (e.g., see Figure 1) Consider decreasing image size to make it less dominant in relation to the text 6. Learning feature Promising 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 one or more scenarios/examples/case studies Basic use of scenario/example/case study Placeholder use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies Consider use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies 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 Insufficient Are there any systematic reviews about this topic? Move Wikipedia links to the See also section Move non-academic / non-peer reviewed external sources to External links Remove numbered list 8. Resources See also Excellent External links Not developed (see Tutorial 2) 9. User page Very 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 None summarised on user page with direct link(s) to evidence (see Tutorial 03). Looking ahead to the book chapter submission, see social contributions. There is a list of social contributions on the chapter page. Move these to the user page in order to receive credit for the book chapter social contribution component.
