Hey there, I just had a quick look at you book chapter and it looks pretty good! I have gone in and fixed up a few spelling mistakes and added a definition along with a reference. --BlueDreams55 (discuss • contribs) 02:07, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi There,

Just for your topic I have a few articles for your topic that might be useful, https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1023/A:1005500917875.pdf the first gives a nice overview on unrealistic optimism and a little bit on optimism bias, which for the most part in the literature I've read at the moment is a term that is often interchangeable. The second article may also go hand in hand with this second article, which is a much more recent version of unrealistic optimism and splits it up as absolute or comparative (file:///Users/ap/Downloads/1-s2.0-S1053810016300782-main.pdf). Lastly, there's an article looking at the neural basis of optimism, which may help to give you some base for your physiological section (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3807005/). I hope this helps start you off.

Hi, I just fixed some typos in your overview section and edited the 'OCD' hyperlink so that it links the whole phrase. I also saw that you have added a quiz to your 'What is Optimism Bias' section and thought it may be helpful if you add these throughout to provide some more interactive features. Nice work and good luck! U3187813 (discuss • contribs) 05:06, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
