Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Morbid curiosity

Initial suggestions

@Scarlett Neilson: 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/Curiosity
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Death
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Disgust
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Interest
• 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.

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/or sub-title were not correctly worded and/or formatted (fixed) 2. Headings Under-developed, 1-level heading structure – develop further, perhaps using a 2-level structure for larger section(s) Excellent alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and heading structure Unclear how media relates to the sub-title; but media could be used as an interesting example 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 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 Focus questions are aligned with sub-title and top-level headings 4. Key points Partial development of key points for some sections Insufficient use of citations Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples Conclusion (the most important section) is underdeveloped 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 The figure caption should use APA style (e.g., start with Figure 1.) 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) Consider use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies Consider including one or more quiz question(s) about the take-home messages Also consider using one or more tables to summarise key information 7. References OK Are there any systematic reviews about this topic? All references need to be cited in the text Only include references which have been accessed and read Check and correct APA referencing style: author initials (instead of first names) remove quotation marks capitalisation italicisation provide all available dois and make doi hyperlinks active (i.e., clickable) 8. Resources See also Very good Rename links so that they are more user friendly (see Tutorial 02) External links Very good Use sentence casing 9. User page Basic – minimal – see Tutorial 02 Very brief description about self – consider expanding Add description about self 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 Rename the link to the book chapter to make it more user-friendly (see Tutorial 02) 10. Social contribution Good – two out of three types of contributions made with with indirect link(s) to evidence. The other type of contribution is making: comments on the talk pages of other chapters (past or current) posts about the unit or project on other platforms such as the UCLearn discussion forum or on X using the #emot24 To add direct links to evidence of Wikiversity edits or comments: view the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and paste the comparison URL on your user page. For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions.

Heading casing

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 01:28, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a promising but insufficient chapter because it is incomplete I suspect that some of this chapter is based on unacknowledged use of genAI output; if so, it violates academic integrity principles Very good use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims Under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Underdeveloped Engage reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image Explains the psychological problem or phenomenon reasonably well Add focus questions in a feature box Theory An excellent range of relevant theories are considered Builds reasonably well on other chapters and/or Wikipedia articles Basic/ depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Use tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information Key citations are well used Consider using more examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Insufficient review of relevant research More detail about key studies would be ideal Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? Insufficient 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 Insufficient integration between theory and research The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research; strive for an integrated balance Insufficient integration with chapters Conclusion Missing Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is OK but there are several aspects which are below professional standard Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Communicate one idea per paragraph using three to five sentences. Bullet points are overused. Develop more of the bullet point statements into full sentences and paragraphs. Layout The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections, but may be overly ambitious given that the chapter is incomplete Use the default heading style (e.g., remove additional italics, bold, and/or change in font size) See earlier comments about heading casing Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see tags) Proofreading Remove unnecessary capitalisation – more info APA style Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc. Figures Briefly captioned; provide more detail to help connect the figure to the text Use this format for captions: Figure X. Descriptive caption goes here in sentence casing. See example. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., "(see Figure 1)") Citations use excellent APA style (7th ed.) References use reasonably good APA style: Check and correct use of capitalisation[1] Check and correct use of italicisation Learning features Basic use of learning features Very good 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. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project. Insufficient use of figure(s) No use of table(s) Basic use of feature box(es) No use of scenarios, case studies, or examples No use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Rename links per Tutorial 02 Use alphabetical order Reasonably good use of external links in the "External links" section Add more links Social contribution ~1 logged contributions without direct links to evidence, so unable to easily verify and assess. See tutorials for guidance about how to get direct links to evidence.
