Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2022/Climate change helplessness

Govermental responses
Hi! this was 100% going to be my second choice of topic, so super interested in it. I was wondering if you were going to touch on how government responses (or lack thereof) to the climate emergency is impacting helplessness. Theres this really interesting study in the lancet that can be found here that directly links climate anxiety and feelings of powerlessness to inadequate government responses.

Relevant Topic
Hi! I am also interested in the topic and am doing a similar one (environmental grief). I really like your figure, I think it breaks up the writing very nicely. I found this resource which you might find useful! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S027249442100102X

Suggestions for this chapter
Hello! Something that I might suggest for your chapter is including more hyperlinks to relevant theories and concepts as well as some Study cases, example boxes, figures and maybe a table. Hope this helps with your chapter! U3216389 (discuss • contribs) 01:59, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

for in-text citations in parentheses 'and' should be '&'. I fixed one that was missed :)--Alec.cortez (discuss • contribs) 01:41, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Potential improvements
Hi !

I enjoyed reading your chapter and would like to add a couple of points which may improve your chapter :)


 * 1) Try and widen the scope instead of focusing on just the Australian government - see if you can find resources that focus on the whole world (I see you have a section on world leader still in the process so maybe this is where that will come in). Remember that Australia only represents 0.33% of the population and we want to think more big picture.
 * 2) In reference to the sub-heading of "what is learned helplessness" remember that you should have a minimum of two subheadings under a major heading (I am not sure if Quizzes as a heading counts) - perhaps you could add an example of learned helplessness directly related to climate change with support of a resource to really highlight the issue.
 * 3) In the eating vegetarian/ vegan part it would be great to have a small explanation on the mechanisms behind gas emissions from beef and dairy productions (You could add a cool picture in here too!). I feel like people tend to assume that these productions are bad but many people (including me!) don't really understand the actual harmful effect.

I Hope this helps you !! Good Luck :) U3210431 (discuss • contribs) 05:33, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Hey! Just some feedback, I didn't want to change anything but just look over your referencing in Climate change helplessness paragraph as some references are not in APA 7 format i.e. (Abrams and Hogg, 1990) to (Abrams & Hogg, 1990) and (Landry, et al. 2018) to (Landry et al., 2018). Hope this helps you! --U3230861 (discuss • contribs) 03:06, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I was just wondering if you have looked into the link between climate change and increase in rates of mental illness. I understand that may lead into a conversation of how much is actual increase in mental illness and how much is simply discovery and labelling that did not previously exist which is outside the scope of this page but I do think it is worth mentioning. - U3216502

Heading structure
The overall number of headings looks reasonable. My main suggestion are to:
 * 1) avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use either 0 or 2+ sub-heading
 * 2) provide at least an introductory paragraph in a section before branching into sub-headings

Content
Hi, I have noticed you've written about the actions some different countries are taking to combat climate change. it would be interesting to see the viewpoints across different cultures and financial demographics and whether this would effect climate change helplessness.
