Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Life satisfaction and personality

Initial suggestions

@U3242288: Thanks for tackling this topic. Some initial suggestions:* Breadth vs. depth. This is a broad topic, which is fine, but it will need to be an overview, with embedded links to more specific chapters. However, if you find that you are interested in a specific aspect of this topic we can also tailor a different, more specific topic.

• Check out other related chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work:
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Life satisfaction
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Personality
• 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.

Sub-heading suggestion

Hi! Your page is looking great, and the information provided is very interesting. I noticed that under your heading 'Relationship between personality and life satisfaction' you have a lot of smaller headings, I would recommend changing them to actual sub-headings that way they appear in the contents on the side. Looking forward to seeing the final version! Tatteredwing (discuss • contribs) 00:04, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi @U3242288

Really nice chapter! I just read through it and i thought i might provide some feedback.

One big thing that stood out to me while I was reading was that some sections were quite large without much to break them up, such as quizzes or figures for example. I noticed that all but one of your quiz question were located at the end of the chapter, and a thought they might be more valuable if you spaced them out throughout the chapter, like what you did with the first quiz, having the content related to the info before it.

overall great chapter I enjoyed reading it. U3230258 (discuss • contribs) 22:35, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

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 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 Explains the problem or phenomenon Clear focus questions Theory An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Builds effectively on related chapters and Wikipedia articles Insightful depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Effective use of tables, figures, and/or lists are to help clearly convey key theoretical information Key citations are well used Some use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Excellent review of relevant research Excellent critical thinking about relevant research is evident Integration Excellent integration between theory and research Conclusion Excellent summary and conclusion Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very good Use active (e.g., "this chapter explores") rather than passive voice (e.g., "this chapter has explored" or "this chapter will explore") [1][2] Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead: it is, most often, not needed at all, or use section linking Abbreviations Spell out abbreviations on their first use, to explain them to the reader APA style Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc. Figures Figures are briefly captioned Each Figure is referred to at least once within the main text Tables Table captions use APA style or wiki style Each Table is referred to at least once within the main text using APA style Citations use excellent APA style (7th ed.). For example: References use excellent/very good/good/reasonably good/basic/poor APA style: Check and correct use of capitalisation[3] Separate page numbers using an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section Learning features Excellent use of learning features Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles Reasonably good use of image(s) Very good use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) The quiz questions could be improved by being more focused on the relationship between personality and life satisfaction The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than as a set of questions at the end Reasonably good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Also include links to related book chapters Good use of external links in the "External links" section Could be more focused on the relationship between personality and life satisfaction Social contribution ~13 logged, very useful, mostly major social contributions with direct links to evidence Thanks very much for your contributions

This would help to convey the purpose of the presentation and be consistent. The video title does not match the chapter title and sub-title. This would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation and be consistent. A very brief written description of the presentation is provided. Expand. Excellent use of time codes Links to and from the book chapter are provided Licensing Image sources and their copyright status are communicated A copyright license for the presentation is in the description but not in the license field
