Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2014/Hedonic treadmill

Another useful article
I found another article that may be of interest to you. It essentially is a longitudinal study of emotion to test the theory of the hedonic treadmill.

Useful article maybe
Hey, I wasn't sure what the hedonic treadmill was so I did a bit of research to find out. I came across this article which gives a brief explanation of what it is and the negativity bias associated with it and thought perhaps you would find this useful. I'm not sure if the link will work but this is the link to it from EBSCO: http://web.b.ebscohost.com/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=318aac94-cccf-4028-9e75-dc83a60b2e73%40sessionmgr110&vid=1&hid=125 if that doesn't work here is the reference (search the title on EBSCO and you should be able to find it): 'Larsen, R. (2009). The Contributions of Positive and Negative Affect to Emotional Well-Being. Psihologijske Teme / Psychological Topics, 18(2), 247-266.' Good luck! I look forward to reading your finished book chapter :) U3081383 (discuss • contribs) 05:52, 12 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)

Editing changes
Hey, so I've just gone over your whole chapter and made some edits. Most of the edits were fixing spelling errors however I did add in a couple of sentences in the overview and in the 'take home messages'. I thought your topic was really interesting and I really like how you have used examples throughout the whole chapter it made it really easy to understand what the concepts meant. I also liked how I could relate to some of the examples personally, so good job! One thing I noticed was there were a couple of sentences that may have needed to be referenced... just have a squiz over to make sure everything is appropriately in-text referenced :) Overall good job! :D #dreamteam U3081383 (discuss • contribs) 05:07, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
