Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2016/Ideological motivation and violent crime

Comments
Hi, just reading through your chapter, which is coming together well. A note though, your references are not yet in APA format (e.g. Maehr, Martin L; Mayer, Heather, 1997 - Elliot, Andrew J; Covington, Martin, 2001). Assuming you are aware and that this may be because you are still working through so I did not change anything - but would hate to see you miss these before submitting. Also, under violent crimes you may want to make this stand out more by using bold or possibly a table. U109993 (discuss • contribs) 21:23, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, really interested in seeing the end product of your chapter, interesting topic. A few journal articles I found that include different assesment tools for professionals and the ideology of hate crimes. Hopefully they may add to your research. Best of luck with the chapter. http://www.jstor.org/stable/2678630?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/016396290931614 http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.507.5071&rep=rep1&type=pdf--U3090066 (discuss • contribs) 18:38, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

some suggestions to improve the flow of the whole chapter
Hello, I like your way of using a quote to open up your topic, it would be better if you could elaborate further on this quote, eg, connecting this quote with the topic you are presenting. Also, you used Freud's theory to explain why people commit crime, and according to Freud, people have a highly developed superego experiencing excessive guilt and by committing crimes, this guilt can be released. I find this is hard to understand, more elaboration will be good. In 'what is motivation', you have talked about a number of theories, eg, drive, instinct theory, etc, and in the next section, you also talked about theory of motivation, I find it's a bit overlapping, if combining the two into one section would improve the flow of the whole book chapter.(u3121927)--U3121927 (discuss • contribs) 07:55, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

theoretical direction for terrorism as a part of ideological motivation and violent crime
Hey, I was reading the Reeve textbook for class today (chapter 15) and saw a section that you may find interesting, especially on the motivation side of things.

In chapter 15: p.451-452, there is a section on evil, which debates if evil is inherent in human nature, discussing the nature of malevolence and benevolence in human nature....

Anyway, there are few paragraphs which you may find interesting (p.452, half way down the page). This is a quote from the textbook: "Underlying the act of terrorism there is typically a social component (desire to be a part of group), an emotional component (many terrorists are recruited by first being shown films of atrocities being committed against the community), and the ideological component (a set of beliefs that condone violence for the sake of the in-group). It is the ideological component that serves as the person's acquired malevolent value system."

From this, the next section is about the role of positive psychology and indicators of happiness, wellbeing optimism etc. This could be a good way to transition from what makes a terrorist, to how we can solve the underlying problems.

Hey, I like the content in your chapter and it looks as though you are on the right track. I would suggest breaking up the text a little with some interactive components, to increase the level of engagement with the reader. Also I think adding some links to Wiki pages throughout the text, would assist in clarifying some of the terminology. Hopefully these suggestions are helpful and best of luck finishing off the chapter :) --U3090066 (discuss • contribs) 18:44, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
