Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2015/Emotion duration

Comment
Hey! your topic looks really interesting! Maybe you could include something about whether there are cross-cultural differences in the duration of emotions. Maybe shorten the headings a little. Some links (if you haven't already found them :) ) http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs11031-014-9445-y#/page-1 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2815719/Feeling-sad-FIVE-DAYS-shift-mood-Sadness-lasts-240-times-longer-emotions-study-claims.html Good luck! Look forward to reading your chapter! U3097090 (discuss • contribs) 10:34, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Hiǃ Very interesting topic I must sayǃ Few suggestionsː I think it would improve the overall flow of your paper and the aesthetics if you use shorter and fewer headings. Also I would say it is very important to mention why it is so important to have this information? If one does know how long a particular emotion lasts and why, what could one do with that information? I think it would be wise to incorporate why such studies were necessary. I know you have mentioned "continuation" of joy, "prevention" of anger and sadness, however maybe present it as therapeutic implications or practical applications just so it appeals to the reader more and marker can clearly see that you have addressed the marking criteriaǃ Good luckǃǃ I think you'll find this article helpfulː http://www.affective-science.org/pubs/2006/Barrett2006valence.pdf Here is another one that talks about negative emotions, their intensity and duration.

Hey! Your topic looks really interesting so far and will be good to see how it progresses! Just a hint (if you're not already planning to do it), just shorten the headings a bit, instead of saying overcoming/prevention, maybe just stick to saying prevention and explain how people overcome the emotion. I found a cool article about the management of anger after a brain injury and how quickly it can change from before the injury. Here's the reference if you're interested, good luck!

Hi!

Your current outline looks really good and there is a clear breakdown of what you're going to write about. As a suggestion I think it would be helpful to the reader to see comparison tables/graphs/figures of the emotions to see how they differ to each other and maybe also compare them to shorter length emotions. Overall this seems like an interesting topic that I'll keep an eye on and hopefully help you out as you progress! U3096981 (discuss • contribs) 09:01, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi there! I also had a look at your page. Looks good so far. The only thing I was thinking so far is that I'm fairly sure James mentioned something about being careful on how many sub headings we use? Also keeping in mind the word count that we have... Otherwise I have "starred" your page and will aim to contribute more as your page progresses. All the best Linda --U3096823 (discuss • contribs) 10:35, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello there. It looks like a very extensive contents list. As you write you may consolidate some of the headings. As an outline they are good although, you may want to eventually limit titles to simpler one or small amounts of words rather than questions. As they appear in your word count twice. All the best with your research. --David James Stevenson (discuss • contribs) 01:29, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi there,

I think what you've got so far is great! As the others have mentioned - consolidating the headings would be a good idea. I am very interested in learning more about this and I'm keen to see the first draft! Not sure how far you've gotten with your research but I came across this fairly recent article about the relevance of event importance and rumination. I often find myself ruminating on emotional events so it's something I would find interesting to read about http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs11031-014-9445-y --U3046579 (discuss • contribs) 03:36, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
