Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Underdog versus favourite motivation

Initial suggestions

@Sarah Pendlebury: 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/Competition
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Sport
• 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

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 10:05, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

The topic development submission has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is below, plus see the general feedback page.

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 I suspect that these headings may have been genAI-generated but not acknowledged. Please consult and follow the using genAI guidelines. See earlier comment about Heading casing I like this 2-level heading structure. It is pragmatic, clear, and interesting. However, make sure that it is used to synthesise the best psychological theory and research about this topic. Adjust the 2nd-level heading up (currently uses level 5 style) Good alignment between focus questions and heading structure Use default heading formatting (i.e., avoid bold, italics, underline, changing the size etc.) 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 with an image at the start of this section 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 I seem to recall some interesting research about play between dominant and submissive rats. The dominant rat doesn't try too hard so that there is more fun. Use APA style 7th ed. for citations (e.g., et al. for 3 more authors) Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples Conclusion (the most important section): Under 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 A relevant figure is presented, captioned, and cited Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text Figure(s) are cited at least once in the main text 6. Learning feature Excellent use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters Promising use of example(s)/case study(ies) Excellent use of quiz question(s) Also consider using one or more tables to summarise key information 7. References Excellent Are there any systematic reviews about this topic? For APA referencing style, check and correct: italicisation 8. Resources See also Excellent External links Move academic sources into references and cite in the chapter 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. 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 Excellent – at least three different types of contributions with direct link(s) to evidence
