Week 7:

Gray's biopsychological theory of personality

• Individual Differences and Personality (course textbook), section 5.3.1 Gray's Theory (pages 113-115)
• https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886904000546 - Comparison of the construct validity of the Gray-Wilson Personality Questionnaire and the BIS/BAS scales
• https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0306460305001243 - Gray's model of personality and addiction
• https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2723784/ - BIS, BAS, and response conflict: Testing predictions of the revised reinforcement theory

- will request access to articles through school library system and check if they are primary or secondary sources (if some are papers written about studies/experiments or are the paper directly written by the experimenters about the study they conducted first-hand - in that case, would not be an appropriate source)

Space to list reliable sources

For "Dispositional affect" article:

- https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886920304001

- evaluate the association between personality, defined as the combination of both affect and big five traits, and financial satisfaction.

- When evaluating the correlation between personality and financial satisfaction when personality is defined solely on the basis of the big five model and excludes affect, there are different predictive outcomes than when evaluating the relationship between personality and financial satisfaction when personality is evaluated using a model which combines affect into the big five model.

Article evaluation:

I chose the article title "Dispositional affect" from the list of suggested articles for this course. It was rated S for "start-class," which indicates to me that there is room for improvement to be made.

The talk page was a good resource for me to better identify weaknesses of the S-rated article. The talk page conversations included editing the article to include more citations throughout the article where needed, specifically in the 'Conceptual distinctions from emotion and mood' section. The talk page also includes a note about the first paragraph referencing pink vs black lens. I also found this confusing as the lens topics is not discussed further in the rest of the article and the vague mention of the lens topic in the first paragraph did not contribute better understanding of dispositional affect to me, as a reader.

There are also some content gaps in the article, including

Overall, I think there are a few grammar or sentence structure changes that could be made to aid in the flow of the article. A few little changes I think could improve the article include:

- change the word "unconscious" to "subconscious" (first paragraph).

- reword the "that is why this topic is important..." - maybe could be stated more like "the correlation between affectivity and many typical everyday influences make it a relevant research topic in social and organizational psychology." (first paragraph)

- in 'Conceptual distinctions from emotion and mood' section, change "good light" and "dark light" to terms that are more scientific or straight-forward and less cliché.

- redundant sentence (third sentence) in beginning of 'Dimensions' section (first paragraph)

I noticed a relatively big content gap - I think there could be more content added that can better relate the Big Five traits to dispositional affect.

Text/tools practice:

Paragraph: Set the style of your text. For example, make a header or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.

A : Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The “More” options allows you to underline (U), cross-out text (S), add code snippets ( { } ), change language (Hello) keyboards (Aあ), and clear all formatting ().

Links: Highlight text and push this button to make it a link. The Visual Editor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an “external links” section, for example) click on the “External link” tab.

Cite: The citation tool in the Visual Editor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the Visual Editor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Once you've added a source, you can click the “re-use” tab to cite it again. https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/training/students/how-to-edit/visual-editor-buttons-v2
