Feedback on chapter
Hi, I just wanted to shoot you another couple of starter references and thoughts for the intro sections - hope they might be useful. Some references to intro the general benefits of being near water are: The effects of exercising in different natural environments on psych-physiological outcomes in post-menopausal women: a simulation study. White, Pahl, Ashbullby, Burton, & Depledge (2015); Blue space: the importance of water for preferences, affect and restorativeness ratings of natural and built scenes. White, Smith, Humphryes, & Depledge (2010). A reference for the general definition of well-being: Eid and Larsen (2008) The Science of Subjective Well Being. Also there's a previous chapter you could link to that looks at water and emotion: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Motivation_and_emotion/Book/2016/Water_and_emotion. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Hi, if you follow the instructions in the purple box at the top of this page https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Motivation_and_emotion/Assessment/Chapter, you can get a template for your book chapter, this should make it a lot easier for you to do your chapter. Cheers, Annie

Hi, I have added a youtube video to your external links section. Also I have listed some links below to surfing images which might be appropriate for your chapter. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Surfing_in_Hawaii_retouched.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2010_mavericks_competition_edit1.jpg I look forward to seeing your chapter develop.

Hi, Just a reminder to insert a hanging indent for your reference list. There are instructions on the motivation and emotion discussion page; https://uclearn.canberra.edu.au/courses/5330/discussion_topics/35390. Thanks, --U3154928 (discuss • contribs) 07:35, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

TED talk video, images, heading suggestion
Hello,

You have a really interesting topic! I found a TED talk that illustrates your chapter really well: https://www.ted.com/talks/chris_burkard_the_joy_of_surfing_in_ice_cold_water#t-556394

In the TED talk, Chris Burkyard talks about his surfing experiences in extreme weather conditions and very remote locations, and how this brought him optimal challenge and joy.

After watching the TED talk and looking at your book chapter, I think you could maybe have a sub-heading for the challenge of surfing, as this TED talk seems to demonstrate that this is what gives Chris most of his joy when surfing. Perhaps you could find some research evidence to back this up.

I also added 'Figure 1' and 'Figure 2' to your images so they correspond with APA 6th edition. Maybe add a little bit more information under figure 2, for example how does the ocean image relate to your book chapter? I also uncapitalised the sub-headings as the format for Wikiversity is to not capitalise the titles.

I hope this helps and goodluck!
