Hi just letting you know I fixed a bunch of spelling and grammatical errors and some really random in text referencing. Not sure I got everything, but you should check all your references to McClelland which you spelled differently in various places. Also, your links to other pages should be the first reference to the word in the paragraph, not in the title as you have done. I am sorry I don't have time to fix that for you.

Hello just letting you know that your reference list is not in full APA 6 style. Whole sections (like names) are capitalised at the moment and should not be. Great chapter though!!! Ccgmjb (discuss • contribs) 10:55, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Interesting topic!! I would suggest you looking into CEOs and other prominent business employees who have made high risk business decisions that paid off, and how this affected their later decision making processes (were they more likely to engage in high risk decisions or avoid them?). You could also see how people calculate risk, and individual differences for what is an acceptance risk level. Good luck!! --U3081677 (discuss • contribs) 10:14, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Hey! Cool topic. A lot of research has gone into it. I like how you've tied it into the motivation side of things really well. Don't forget to change how you've referenced the images. They have to have figure numbers under them with a little description, rather than the link to them. You've got a variety of external links which is really good, maybe include a few in the actual text, rather than in the headings as it's a bit distracting to see it done so many times and blends in a bit better when it's linked in the text. This title is pretty long too - How can this information be used to help to people live more effective motivational and emotional lives? and the info doesn't really flow, as you just speak about one bit of information and then move onto the next study without a comment about it. In regards to the title, it could be shortened to something like "Living more effective motivational and emotional lives" and then you could say in the first line how the information above can be used to help people live better lives. That's just a suggestion though. Keep up the good work! --Bt1718 (discuss • contribs) 7:16, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, found this page as a good source to get started on my own chapter with some related content. Just noticed a source was missing from the reference list that i would have found interesting for my topic (Greenberg, 2013). Thanks for laying some groundwork for framing further topics. --CMIV (discuss • 2:27, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

hi your chapter looks wicked good but i noticed your citation in the extrintic motivation part is alittle messed up. What you have is (Guay, F., Vallerand, R. J., & Blanchard, C. 2000 & Chantal, Y., Vallerand, R. J., & Vallieres, E. F. (1995). it should be  (Guay, F., Vallerand, R. J., & Blanchard, C.,2000 & Chantal, Y., Vallerand, R. J., & Vallieres, E. F.,1995).

Looks good! there is a lot of info about this topic - I would include a graphic in there and maybe make the ones you have a little bigger. Good luck :) U3040525 (discuss • contribs) 11:29, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks everyone!

Hey! Your book chapter is very thorough and well-researched. I have just made some minor adjustments to your references section so that it complies with the APA referencing formatting style. Other than that, your book chapter looks great! Good luck!--U3096825 (discuss • contribs) 11:07, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
