Starter References
Hi there, I've noticed that this topic might need some references... I've found a few articles listed below: Hope this helps :) Tia U3190467 (discuss • contribs) 01:25, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) Johnson explores the the characteristics of mania in relation to accomplishment, achievement motivation, and goal setting in her article titled Mania and dysregulation in goal pursuit: A review. (2004). This article specifically addresses how during positive moods, confidence is increased, which when coupled with ambition goals can effect a person's pursuit of goals. Although the title of the article does not refer specifically to hypomania, some of the research within the article does (and is very interesting)! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2847498/
 * 2) Meyer and colleagues (2007) in their study Unique association of approach motivation and mania vulnerability found that manic symptoms were associated with higher approach motivation. This effect held true even in threatening scenarios. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2814428/
 * 3) Mason and colleagues (2012) found that the participants who were prone to hypomania were more impulsive, showing increased hypersensivitity to rewards. This speaks to a difference where people experiencing hypomania show differences in their behaviour approach system (BAS). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0006322311009668
 * 4) Kim and Kwon (2017) also address the link between hypomania and BAS sensitivity, finding that BAS sensitivity mediated the relation between hypomania risk and creativity. Perhaps those who experience increased creativity and hypomania do so because of an intrinsic motivation. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0165032716319668

 * Comments on resubmitted book chapter

These revisions have been reviewed. Comments: -- Jtneill - Talk - c 06:16, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) The Overview has been improved, mostly by shifting content into this section, but also be adding focus questions.
 * 2) Use of theory and research is considerably improved.
 * 3) There are some improvements to grammar and spelling.
 * 4) There are some other minor, all-round improvements.
 * 5) 3 social contributions added some general, but thoughtful feedback. Well after original chapter due dates, so of limited value to the original authors.

 * Comments on resubmitted multimedia presentation:
 * 1) Overall, this is a marginally sufficient presentation, based on minor to moderate improvements.
 * 2) The Overview (focus question) was improved, but this slide, as well as several others, were skipped too quickly and not sufficient narrated, so were of marginal additional value.
 * 3) The selection of content was marginally improved.
 * 4) The focus on research was marginally improved by including a focus on a single study. Even better would be to focus on a broader review of relevant literature rather than the deep, overly detailed dive into a single study.
 * 5) The focus on theory was marginally improved by including a behavioural reinforcement theory (kindling theory was removed), but its relationship to hypomania was inadequately explained (e.g., what is PRN?).
 * 6) The audio was communication is improved by slowing down. It could be improved further by scripting, practicing, and improving intonation.
 * 7) There was no improvement in the quality of visual communication (e.g., overly small text is presented) - to improve, consider using larger font and less text per slide).
 * 8) Meta-data: Title/sub-title is worse (no longer matches book chapter). The rest is essentially the same.
 * 9) Audio and video recording quality is similar.
 * 10) Description is improved, but the title/sub-title does not match the book chapter.
 * 11) Licensing is the same.

Hi, I really liked your book chapter, I found it to be very informative and easy to read. However, I think it might benefit from more images to make it a little more engaging. I know it can be hard on wiki commons to find the perfect image for what your discussing. I think you may be able to find some depictions though. Good luck and well done.

2022 I really liked your book chapter and picked the same topic in 2022, although this year it is emotion and hypomania in place of motivation and hypomania. While your page is easy to read, the conclusion would have benefited from having a short paragraph (about three to four sentences) to answer each focus question. I note you focused on the definition in the conclusion which was one of the focus questions and another mentioned motivatoinal theory but not the directions it takes the topic. I also would have benefitted from a paragraph on further research directions, as I would have built on that too and I would have been interested to see if perspectives on the research had changed much over the year. Good luck with your studies and hope this helps. --Alec.cortez (discuss • contribs) 06:34, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
