Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/Environmental volunteering motivation

Initial suggestions
Thanks for tackling this topic. Some initial suggestions:
 * Check out other related chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work:

Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 12:43, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * What psychological theories can help to understand? What is the main research in this area?


 * Many thanks James. I'm rethinking the structure. I'm feeling it will be far more useful to end users (vols and those who create experiences for them) if the structure
 * - briefly intro'ed the key theories
 * - then focused on what the theories tell us about the motivations behind:
 * 1 why vols join in the first place
 * 2 why vols stay
 * 3 why vols leave
 * I'll keep reading and see if the refs support the structure/approach above. It feels more practical than the current approach/structure. I might also contact a few people I know who work directly with env vols and ask them what they would like to see/read so it is directly relevant to what they do in the real world.

Peer Suggestion
Hi Damian, you've picked an interesting topic! Could you consider adding a feature where the audience could consider what motivates (or could motivate) them? This may help the audience begin to understand the different types of motivations that exist in this field... and then they can explore the ideas/theories more as they read your chapter. Looking forward to coming back later in the semester to see more. --U3218323 (discuss • contribs) 09:14, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Damian, I made some minor edits to your reference list by changing the journal titles from sentence case to title case (as per APA 7 style). All the best with your chapter :) Emma --U3230003 (discuss • contribs) 09:42, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi Damian! you have read about this topic and discussed it really well. I was just suggesting if you wanted to expand of your studies and research into more depth. eg., explaining the aims and methods and discussing how the researchers found their results. It could promote more growth for discussion! you have a lot of credible studies and support your theme well. U3226707 (discuss • contribs) 01:35, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
