Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Vitamin D and emotion regulation

General comments

Hi Chris,

Really like your topic and how you have set up the page so far. Your key questions seem relevant to your topic but make sure you are incorporating psychological theory as part of answering them i.e. what is it psychologically we need to be well/ motivated/ happy theoretically and how does getting vitamin D support that?

You'll have a fair bit of research to do to answer the questions in that way but it's important to reference it.

all the best, Ari --Ubaldo111 (discuss • contribs) 01:39, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Suggestions

I wonder if including information on how to diagnose/know if you are vitamin D deficient might be helpful? Persimmon24 (discuss • contribs) 06:57, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

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 Basic, 2-level heading structure – could benefit from further development (expand) Reasonably good alignment between focus questions and heading structure, but consider closer alignment 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 Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings Definitional headings aren't usually needed (e.g., about vitamin D in general and ER in general). Focus on the question in the sub-title. 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 Vitamin D doesn't have a purpose per se, but it is useful to human beings What is emotional regulation? is not a core question for this topic - there are other chapters that cover this Reasonably good alignment between focus questions and heading structure, but consider closer alignment 4. Key points Partial development of key points for some sections, with some 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. No development 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 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 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 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 one or more scenarios/examples/case studies Promising use of quiz question(s) 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 OK Wikistyle references are fine, but they need to be formatted consistently (suggest use APA style principles as much as possible) Don't cite references behind university logins Are there any systematic reviews about this topic? Move non-academic / non-peer reviewed sources to External links Remember that the goal is to identify and use the best academic theory and research about this topic 8. Resources See also Not developed – needs work (see Tutorial 2) External links Not developed – needs work (see Tutorial 2) 9. User page Excellent – used effectively 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 The three types of required contributions to be demonstrated with direct link(s) to evidence were making: direct improvements to other chapters (past or current) 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: 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. Well done on creating and uploading your own image Use a numbered list (see Tutorial 02)
