Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2014/Gambling addiction and emotion

your structure
Hi, some comments on your structure.

The five questions sound familiar, did you take them from the textbook? Even if you did not, I think you spent too much space on introducing emotion. You only need to discuss emotion in the introduction part where you introduce gambling. The focus of your chapter is on how does gambling influence emotion/ or how does emotion influence gambling? Some related theory concerning gambling could be introduced to understand this behaviour.

Also, important: recreational gambling and problem gambling. I guess when it is not problem gambling, recreational gambling could have some positive effect on emotions. Problem gambling and its negative impact should be discussed. --Xlc (discuss • contribs) 10:41, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

APA style captions for images and tables
I recommend using APA style captions i.e., Figure 1, Figure 2 etc. for all images, graphs etc. and Table 1, Table 2 etc. for all tables. The caption text should not be in italics. For more detail and examples, see http://libguides.newcastle.edu.au/content.php?pid=113807&sid=1208571 -- Jtneill - Talk - c 11:32, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Couple of edits
Hi

I just edited a couple of your headings to correct the caps. Hope that's ok!

I noticed you've got some random syntax just above your Reference list area. I had a look, but I couldn't easily see how to correct it. You may want to take a look.

I also noticed you've got 2 random links down the bottom. If they are your External links you may want to put a heading in and create links.

Referencing style
This chapter uses a mixture of APA style referencing and Wiki style referencing. I recommend just using APA style. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 21:41, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Coloured backgrounds
Coloured backgrounds make it more difficult for people with visual disabilities to read the text. I recommend removing these e.g., there are no coloured backgrounds used in Wikipedia articles. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 21:42, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Physical ordering of page
Hi! I really like the structure of your chapter's contents, it flows really well from point to point, and is all grouped together really well. The only thing about the ordering I would request you change is the having two columns of text the whole way down. It does make it interesting visually, but I don't feel like it would work as well in an online page (it would in a physical book). It's just slightly difficult keeping track of where you are when you have to scroll up and down all the time, and it does not flow like the table of contents lists it out. Great work content-wise though :) ZombrexJim (discuss • contribs)
