My name is Jacqueline Spence and i'm a 3rd year psychology/management student. Although I am not a heavily religious person, I respect the entity and I'm intrigued by its potential effect on mental health. Hence, I've chosen the topic of religiosity and mental health for my book chapter.

=Motivation and emotion (Book, 2014)=

Authored topic
Religiosity and mental health (Book chapter)

•	The basis of your work looks both effective and information. I wondered however if you would consider examining religion as a stress reliever? This might be a different view that you had not previously thought of. Religious coping has various psychological underpinnings that may be of interest. Keep up the great work JacquelineSpence (discuss • contribs) 12:00, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

•	Congratulations on the great article so far. My topic is religiosity and mental health however i still found this topic quite relevant. I think there is definate potential for you to examine religious/spiritual aspects of health and its relationship with happiness. My findings have been quite conclusive that there is a distinct relationship between the two elements. --JacquelineSpence (discuss • contribs) 11:54, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

•	Congratulations on a great chapter. Your chapter is VERY informative and detailed. Whilst I have little recommendations or suggestions, I’d like to thankyou for broadening my perspective on my topic through yours. My topic is mental health and religiosity and I found your chapter very relatable and I was intrigued to see how you intertwined the relevant theories of emotion. I was most impressed with your section on learned helplessness and how you applied it to depression. I also found the listing you used to be very effective in breaking up huge sections of writing. I assume this is still a working progress and will be fixed but the table of contents does not fall under the table of contents heading – this might be something small and silly but could cost marks. Well done and goodluck. JacquelineSpence (discuss • contribs) 07:13, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

•	Although this is still a working progress i can tell it is going to be a very intriguing topic - and one that I will continue to check up on for both scholarly and personal benefit. The case study is a great idea and i suggest that you keep running with it and utilise this concept within your book chapter. Goodluck. --JacquelineSpence (discuss • contribs) 09:06, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

•	The dot points you have listed look as though you will cover the topic well, however, it is hard to give feedback because of the minimal amount of content. I've tidied up the quotes section a bit by adding dot points. It might be a good idea to utilise this throughout your chapter to make things a bit clearer. Goodluck. )--JacquelineSpence (discuss • contribs) 06:15, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

•	Well done so far - you've done a great amount of writing so far. I was particularly impressed by your activity in the table format. I have seen a fair few quizzes now which may begin to get boring for markers so i believe your work will really stand out so great job on that!! My only negative comment is that perhaps you could look into changing the size of the images so they 'pop' a bit more. The little things sometimes make a big difference. Goodluck.

•	What a great chapter. From looking at the previous comments it seems as though you have been taking aboard any recommendations and doing what you can to improve your chapter which is great. My only recommendation is that perhaps you make the long term/short term impacts a bit more noticeable through categorising the effects in either one of these categories. Otherwise, I think you've done really well. You are one of the first people i've seen who have explicitly defined the problem which is great to see! Also, just be careful with how much colour you use - this can get a little confusing at times. Goodluck! JacquelineSpence (discuss • contribs) 011:21, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

•	Congratulations on the great topic so far. This is of particular interest to most people I'd assume because of the topic which makes it very relateable. For this reason, perhaps you do not need to incorporate more case studies? Although I would recommend you do this just to highlight the points you are making. I believe you have covered the topic well and I am glad you included both the physiological and psychological effects. There is definately room for case studies under these headings to take your work to the next level. I also feel that there may be room for a topic of motivation specifically, however, so far you have significantly covered the content.

•	Well done so far. Your information was VERY informative yet easy to read. It flowed effortlessly and the headings were in a logical order. I suspect you have not finished yet but it would be good if you could add some colour and diagrams to compliment your writing and make it a bit more appealing. I also found the "putting it all together" topic clever and thought it was an effective yet informal way to wrap up your chapter and it may be something that i employ. Goodluck with the rest of your work. JacquelineSpence (discuss • contribs) 08:21, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
