Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2011/Leaving home

Comments
I really like the colours you have picked for your box and I am looking forward to reading this chapter when you have finished Noodles&#38;Wedges 08:33, 3 November 2011 (UTC) Very interesting topic especially because I still live at home and will do so until I'm 25 (so another 4 years). I stay because of youth allowance and because mum cooks my food. I think the points you have made at the bottom for the child and the parents to consider is a great idea. It's good to know someone else had to cut back their words. It's difficult but gets rid of the excess that is not needed. Congrats on a interesting and helpful chapter. Also, thank you for commenting on my chapter. I could not find the image that you were referring to above pair 3, could just be your browser. And I have left the border as lime green, but thank you for your input. Noodles&#38;Wedges 04:09, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey, good topic! I'll def be back to check it out once it's finished. Something you could talk about in the social/cultural sections (if you can find any research on it!) is about how it's more of a tradition for students in countries like America to move away for college and move out of home, and I don't think that's really a big trend here in Australia? Something i'd be interested to find out about. Good luck with the rest! Tashc 09:41, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Another hot topic at the moment. More people are staying at home and i hear so many reasons why, its really cool to see why in terms of motivation and as i am doing self-efficacy as a book chapter i love seeing efficiacy involved :-) EamesA 00:03, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

I love how you've included practical applications, and places you can contact for assistance. Great idea! You're chapter looks great! A-bryant 15:17, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

This chapter is really direct and easy to read. and it flows very well. great job in covering the theory first, and then making practical notes at the end. Good Work Atice 01 12:17, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Editing tip - Paragraph length
Thanks James, yeah I am aware that some of the paragraphs are to long, at the moment I am over the word count and now have to cut a lot of words. The one to two sentances in the practical applications, is so people can quickly read an idea about what to do, and if they want more information, read about it more in the text, Should I still change this? .

As depicted below, young people are more likely to be living with their parents, with now almost one in four people between the ages of 20-34 living at home compared to only 19% of the same demographic doing so in 1986 (ABS, 2009). Likely cause? Housing prices maybe? Overall looking pretty good, have you considered maybe creating a graph in excel to illustrate the People Aged 20-34: Moving out of trend?

If anything I think this article might need a few more pictures.

Also organisation of paragraphs might be improved slightly.

A psychological explanation to why some adults stay at home longer:

Thanks for suggestion, I might create a graph later. Unfortunately I have no more words to added a Psychological explanation. Oh and I have now added some pictures. Mlac 14:26, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your chapter. As a parent with both children (and their partners) living with me, I can relate to much of the chapter first-hand. Thankfully we all get along and the pooling of resources helps pay our way thru Uni (psychologically and financially). I found the 'case study' amusing and the 'help details' potentially useful. Sad thing is, I'll miss them when they all move out - sort of!Crazydaisy 05:35, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Comment by Magnolia - very interesting stories from Italy - it would be interesting to do an entire book on this topic and get stories from around the world - well done with your chapter
