Hi, Looking forward to reading your chapter on emotion and health. I'm interested in finding out whether there's a correlation between the number of negative emotions experienced and the individuals overall health... very interesting! S K Hill (discuss • contribs) 02:37, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Hey, it was really interesting,I just fixed a few spelling and grammer mistakes, hope you don't mind. I'm sure you have a bit more to add, visually it looks quite good just needs a bit more work. Punkey77 (Punkey77 • Punkey77)

Some thoughts
Hello! Not sure if you're still looking for help on your chapter but I have a couple of suggestions:

Maybe some focus questions for your overview
 * What emotions impact our health?
 * What can we do to improve our health through emotions?

Potentially add something interactive like a quiz on the chapter content? Happy to get you started if you need some help figuring out the back end stuff :)

Didn't want to tread on any toes by editing but minor changes:

The Purpose of Emotions The answer to "How Many Emotions are There?" is quite arbitrary, but there are a set of basic 6; fear, anger, disgust, surprise, happiness, and of course, sadness (Ekman & Friesen, 1982).

Would consider changing it to: Ekman & Friesen (1982) suggest a set of 6 basic emotions comprised of fear, anger, disgust, surprise, happiness, and of course, sadness.

Hope this helps!

Adding a quiz
Really easy!

Depends on what you want to do though. If it's just a simple A B C D quiz all you have to do is as follows...

Just paste the following into your page: {The brain structures that deal with motivation and emotion are known as what system? (note that type="" means radio buttons (only one correct answer) + Limbic. - Endocrine. - Digestive.
 * type=""}

{My second quiz question goes here - note that type="[]" means checkboxes (multiple correct answers) + First correct answer + Second correct answer - Wrong answer
 * type="[]"}

{Put as many questions as you want, as long as it starts with curley brackets - wrong + right - also wrong
 * type=""}

Then it comes out like this:

{The brain structures that deal with motivation and emotion are known as what system? (note that type="" means radio buttons (only one correct answer) + Limbic. - Endocrine. - Digestive.
 * type=""}

{My second quiz question goes here - note that type="[]" means checkboxes (multiple correct answers) + First correct answer + Second correct answer - Wrong answer
 * type="[]"}

{Put as many questions as you want, as long as it starts with curly brackets - wrong + right - also wrong
 * type=""}

I did one for emotion and sleep that looks like:

{When it's time for me to go to sleep - I don't have any problem falling asleep. + I seem to have trouble falling asleep. + It takes me more than 30 minutes to get to sleep
 * type="[]"}

{During the night I find myself waking up

- Not at all - I sleep through the night - Once or twice + Three or more times
 * type="[]"}

{When I wake up in the morning

- I feel bright and refreshed + I don't feel like I've had a good night's rest + If I feel unrefreshed, I'd rate it as moderate, severe or very severe + If I feel unrefreshed, it is despite having enough time to sleep
 * type="[]"}

{When it's time for me to go to sleep - I don't have any problem falling asleep. + I seem to have trouble falling asleep. + It takes me more than 30 minutes to get to sleep
 * type="[]"}

{During the night I find myself waking up

- Not at all - I sleep through the night - Once or twice + Three or more times
 * type="[]"}

{When I wake up in the morning

- I feel bright and refreshed + I don't feel like I've had a good night's rest + If I feel unrefreshed, I'd rate it as moderate, severe or very severe + If I feel unrefreshed, it is despite having enough time to sleep
 * type="[]"}

One more thing...
If you're still stuck with it happy for you to give me a call :) I work with computers so can imagine how daunting it is when you're struggling to learn how to use the thing as well as doing the actual work! Cheers Chris 0423426198
