Overall Overall comments This chapter outlines vast literature in social support. Additional theoretical considerations and attention to APA style might be beneficial. Theory Theory comments Great discussion of the three types of social support and their differential effects on psychological and physical health! The SDT need for relatedness could be included in the chapter as well as the social need for affiliation/intimacy. Research Research comments The chapter demonstrates extensive research in the area of social support. Some principles in developing the types of relationships that promote wellbeing and goal achievementcould be provided as a form of self-help (e.g., quality, not number, communal vs. exchange etc). The definition of social support could be supported with a citation. Written expression Written expression comments The writing style was exceptional in most instances. However, some sentences could be clarified (e.g., Schizophrenia is not an infection, perhaps use affected instead). APA referencing could be improved (e.g., “Stice, & et al”). While very well structured, the chapter exhibited minimal use of wiki features.

Overall Overall, this is basic, narrated audio with bullet-point presentation. Structure and content Content is well-selected and structured. No summary? Take-home message? Communication Use of self and self-achievement was helpful. Consider using images to help illustrate key points. Audio pace is good (not too fast). Consider increasing tonal range to help facilitate interest and attention. Production quality Production quality was basic. Audio quality is poor (seems distorted? - was an external microphone used?) Well done on using examples - even more could be helpful. Slides were simple but clear. Doesn't make effective use of remaining 30 or so seconds. Provide link back to chapter.
