Hi again, just wanted to say now that your done it looks really good and reads well. I think you did an amazing job on a very interesting topic. u116040 -

Hi, I found your topic really interesting. could i suggest one thing, defining the difference between psychopath verses sociopath as these are commonly thought of as the samething. u116040 -- Hey Belinda, You're chapter is really great! I looked through it looking for things you could improve on and I don't think I could find a single thing other than a few minor grammatical errors. I love how engaging your chapter is with your use of visuals and questions. Also, you write wonderfully! Sorry I couldn't give you much constructive criticism, I would have if I could.

Hey There! I came accross an article you might find useful :) its called "Psychopathy and identification of facial expressions of emotion" by: Hastings, Tangney, & Stuewig (2008). Doi:10.1016/j.paid.2008.01.004 Hope it helps :) u3100310

Hey :) I was looking at some of the research for your topic and i have a suggestion for a heading you could have: "Emotion Recognition". under this there's heaps of research about picture perception of emotion and facial emotion recognition etc and how they struggle with that. Anyway, have a look. Hope this helps (180.200.150.117 (discuss) 00:04, 30 September 2015 (UTC)=u3083783)(3083783ro (discuss • contribs) 00:08, 30 September 2015 (UTC)=u3083783)

Hey, Great topic!

Im doing a topic on empathy and your topic reminded me on a interesting case on the subject of empathy and psychopaths from a book I just finished reading. Empathy is partially created through mimicry of another's facial expressions, most people do this naturally. However it seems that psychopaths have difficultly being able to understand another's facial expressions. This lack of ability to be able to recreate one's facial expressions could lead to the lack of empathy. In "The Psychopathy Test" by Ron Jonson he records this conversation with Essi Viding (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essi_Viding) "She showed him [a psychopath] a picture of a frightened face and asked him to identify the emotion. He said he didn't know the emotion but it was the face people pulled right before he killed them". Could be an interesting point to bring up under your emotion deficits heading.

By the way, the book "the psychopath test" is a really interesting book by Ron Jonson and offers a great summary of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-revised, including a lot of conversations with Hare himself. If you have time you should check it out.

Hope that helped,

Howdy. Fantastic book chapter. Only thing I noticed is your word count when I check is 5,022, sorry to bear bad information. I could see anything that was unnecessary or irrelevant which doesn't make it any easier. I am over I think also by a tiny bit but one possibility is linking some info to another page. The examples throughout are great and I think you have comprehensively covered the topic. Good luck with your final tweaking it is awesome.

Hey There! I've done an edit to reduce your word count to within the expected range. I would most suggest removing some of the examples, and the table within the inventory section. I also noted you haven't yet include external links, which from my understand of the information available for the assessment are a requirement. Ive tried to make my edits quite noticable so you can decide which ones you like. Good luck!! U3100310 (discuss • contribs) 05:16, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Hey, your book chapter looks great, the layout is easily readable and the images help to get you point across very well. I really can't comment on much to change, it looks so good already, but maybe you could consider citing the figures in the actual text as well? In class James mentioned that it is good to write about the images within the text. Good luck !

A few suggestions
Hi,

Just read your page. Great job really well written and well set out. Very interesting and informative too. Only have two suggestions. -First line wrote “its”, maybe change to “it is” to keep up formality. -Maybe add a reference or two into your overview. Apart from that great job  ---u3079526---
