Images
Yo Jen, so here is the 'syntax' needed for uploading images. You need to use either your own images or images from wiki commons, found at Wikimedia Commons and you just search for a photo that fits. When you get one, pop the file name in this format for photos on the right or this format for left hand side  note the numbers before the px is the size of the photo. . hope this helps!!

Ideas?
Hi there, I'm sure you have already thought of this, but I thought i'd put it on here just incase. You could talk about the role of performance vs mastery goals? And you may even be able to link some of the content to 'successful intelligence' theory, how you can make goals to play your strengths/downplaying your weaknesses. Hope this was of some help! --Janed1987 (discuss • contribs) 09:38, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your post Jen! I would love for you to link my page. I think there is quite an amount of interplay between our topics, so it would be great to keep in contact and support one another with our chapters. I am going to go ahead now and link your page! I hope this is okay :) --Jacki Ball (discuss • contribs) 21:14, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi there! you may already be aware of this, but the SMART model can be an interesting model to talk about when it comes to goal setting:) User:HayleyMuzza17 23 October 2013

Hi Jen, Found an article that may be of use to you, its called 'Goal setting and task performance'. I think its an interesting read, and could help you with further research:) Heres the link; Goal setting and task performance article Verity Foster-Greenwood (discuss • contribs) 04:23, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Jen. One of my favourite quotes of all time is "Obstacles are things you see when you take your eyes off your goal". I think it is beautiful and really emphasises the power of having goals. Maybe you could use this as a foucs point in your chapter or a summary point of some key ideas sorrounding the power of having goals (summed up on pg 212 of the textbook). Hope this can be useful. --Bridgiedidge (discuss • contribs) 00:59, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Goal setting in sport
Hi Jen, not sure if you will be covering goal setting and sporting achievements, but in my research into sporting achievements, I found that goal setting was quite often referenced as an important part of success. Specifically for Olympic athletes. I found this article: http://zh9bf5sp6t.scholar.serialssolutions.com/?sid=google&auinit=D&aulast=Burton&atitle=Goal+setting+styles:+examining+the+role+of+personality+factors+on+the+goal+practices+of+prospective+olympic+athletes.&title=Journal+of+sport+behavior&volume=36&issue=1&date=2013&spage=23&issn=0162-7341 that talks about different personality styles and how they impact goal setting on elite athletes. Good luck with the rest of your chapter TomMarvoloRiddle (discuss • contribs) 04:48, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Linking
Hi Jen, The book chapter I'm doing is called Money and Happiness, and in that I've decided to include a section on goal setting (mainly related to financial goals) however I was wondering if I could link your chapter to mine? I feel like they could compliment each other nicely. In my research I found an article http://web.ebscohost.com.ezproxy1.canberra.edu.au/ehost/detail?vid=3&sid=15b16020-28a6-4b5d-85d1-e728601bd91f%40sessionmgr12&hid=28&bdata=#db=pdh&AN=2009-05862-008 which talks about goal setting and mental health. This isn't particularly useful to my book chapter but I thought maybe it would be for yours if you decide to discuss mental health and goal setting as a technique or something. Goodluck with your chapter! --U3068359 (discuss • contribs) 05:43, 31 October 2013 (UTC)u3068359

GOI
Hi Jen, hope you are going well with your chapter! i noticed Dykman (1998) had a really great article on the goal orientation inventory which talks about measures of validation-seeking and growth-seeking as ensuring personality characteristics. thought this may be of interest to you, although you may have already touched on it! good luck!

Self-Control
Hi there, Just looking through your topic and thought, I might suggest that self-control/self regulation theories might tie in well with goal setting. Good luck !!! Saerah (discuss • contribs)
