Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2022/Disappointment

Minor suggestions
Hi! I think your chapter is coming along really well, especially at this stage of the semester. My main suggestions would be to have a think about adding some more case studies, particularly earlier in the chapter. I also noticed that in your paragraph about whether disappointment should be managed, you referred to Table 1, even though I think it was meant to be Table 2. Hope that helps and good job!

Hey there! This chapter is extensive and more importantly very clear and concise which I appreciate, having struggled with this very thing during the writing of my own chapter. Don't really have too many suggestions however it might be interesting to explore the effects of disappointment in children and how there is some research suggesting emotion masking of disappointment actually leads to positive differences in cognition. --U3210264 (discuss • contribs) 07:54, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi, your chapter looks great. It's very well-written and easy to understand. I added some links to your page to other Wikipedia pages for some of the technical words used. You have already done this well, but I added a couple you didn't include that I thought would be helpful. Feel free to remove the links if you want. I added links for the following terms: prefrontal cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, stimuli (I specifically linked to the psychology definition of stimuli) and neurological. I also noticed that you didn't reference disappointment in the first case study (about the uno game). It may be good to include an explanation of how it related to disappointment somewhere like you did for your other case studies. I hope this helps :) - --GabbieUC (discuss • contribs) 01:56, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Reeve (2018) as a citation
Consider removing Reeve (2018) as a citation (e.g., especially where there are multiple citations) because it is not a primary, peer-reviewed source and the chapter is generally very well referenced already. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 10:49, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Minor suggestion
Hi, Am a bit confused as to the 3 x case study boxes within the "What causes disappointment" subheading, i.e., amongst all the neuroanatomy info. I'd suggest moving them to the next sub-heading "How disappointment can be managed" - IF they are relevant to each of the three strategies. I'd probably flesh out the 'should disappointment be managed' section with some more recent peer-reviewed sources, as it's a really interesting part of your chapter. I'd also wonder whether info about developmental influences could also be relevant (alongside the neuroanatomical contributions)? U943292 (discuss • contribs) 00:04, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
