Initial suggestions

@U3242909: 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/Bias
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Happiness
• 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?
• Check out Dan Gilbert's work in this area
• Let me know if I can do anything else to support the development of this chapter.

Feedback

Hi @U3242909, I love your starting point for this topic! The focus questions you’ve provided are strong and open-ended and I liked how you've added examples of practical application by talking about how impact bias affects consumer behaviour and health-related decisions adds depth and real-world relevance to your discussion. Maybe for your "Contributing Factors" section, when discussing the interaction between cognitive biases and individual differences, you could mention, how do certain personality traits exacerbate or mitigate the effects of impact bias? - Good luck!

1. Title The title and/or sub-title were not correctly worded and/or formatted (fixed) Note that I've updated/synthesised the original and changes sub-titles so they match 2. Headings Good alignment between focus questions and heading structure The Overview and Conclusion should not have sub-headings (fixed) 3. Overview Excellent - Scenario, image, evocative description of the problem/topic, relevant psychological theory/research, and focus questions A scenario or case study is presented in a feature box at the start of this section. Add an image to the scenario to help attract reader interest. A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is provided Focus questions are aligned with sub-title and top-level headings 4. Key points Excellent – key points are well developed for each section, with relevant citations For sections which include sub-sections, include the key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings 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. Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples 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 Excellent - One or more relevant figure(s) is/are presented, captioned, and cited The figure caption(s) provide(s) a clear, appropriately detailed description that is meaningfully connected with the main text Cite each figure at least once in the main text using APA style (e.g., see Figure 1) 6. Learning feature Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters (see Tutorial 2) Promising use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies This topic lends itself to practical examples Excellent use of quiz question(s) Also consider using one or more tables to summarise key information 7. References Excellent Well done on identifying relevant systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses Check and correct APA referencing style: capitalisation 8. Resources See also Excellent External links Excellent Use sentence casing 9. User page Excellent – used effectively Excellent description about self provided Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn.

Overall Overall, this is an excellent chapter. It successfully uses psychological theory and research to address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. Excellent use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims There are a small number of places which could make better use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Well developed Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon Clear focus questions Theory An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Builds on two previous, related chapter and/or Wikipedia article Build more strongly on related chapters and/or Wikipedia articles (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters) Insightful depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Use tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information Key citations are well used Excellent use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Excellent review of relevant research Very good critical thinking about relevant research is evident Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Integration Excellent integration between theory and research Conclusion Excellent summary and conclusion Key points are well summarised Clear take-home message(s) Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is excellent Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead: it is, most often, not needed at all, or use section linking Embed direct quotes within sentences and paragraphs, rather than presenting them holus-bolus. Even better, communicate the concept in your own words. "People" is often a better term than "individuals" Layout The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections Some psychological perspective heading styles were missing (fixed) Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see tags) Grammar, spelling, and proofreading are excellent Figures Figures are very well well captioned Each Figure are mostly referred to at least once within the main text (except Figure 4) Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., see Figure 4) Citations use excellent APA style (7th ed.) References use very good APA style: Check and correct use of capitalisation[1] Learning features Very good use of learning features Basic 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. Good use of image(s) Some images could be made larger No use of table(s) Good use of feature box(es) Very good use of case studies or examples Excellent use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Also include links to related book chapters Basic use of external links in the "External links" section Use sentence casing Social contribution ~4 logged, useful, moderate social contributions with direct links to evidence
