Article Evaluation
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_of_responsibility

1. The article remains relatively focused on the sociopsychological phenomenon and walks the reader through relevant conditions when diffusion of responsibility is most likely, the consequences of these conditions, and connects the principles to real-world examples. 2. The article provides basic facts and details about the phenomenon and avoids taking on a particular position. The author(s) includes various different viewpoints from psychologists like Albert Bandura, John Darley, and Bibb Latané to provide a diversity of information and perspectives on the phenomenon, as well as a variety of evidence from their research studies. The authors also remain impartial by using sentence openers like, "an alternative explanation..." to cover both perspectives. 3. The majority of the sources used in the article are taken from periodicals or psychology journals. There are various places throughout the article, however, where a citation is still needed, and because not all of the facts and statements are referenced with a reliable source, it is not possible to confirm whether the information provided is credible. 4. The majority of the comments in the Talk page of the article reference the lack of citations. The author is asked to cite independent, reliable sources to his or her assertions. 5. Article demonstrates necessity of remaining neutral, and not argumentative. The author is initially criticized for being biased towards one point of view. He/she is asked to change the word "social" to "natural" to improve impartiality.

Peer Review: Music Therapy in Alzheimer's Disease
The existing article has just begun addressing the topic at hand - music therapy in Alzheimer's disease. As of now, the author has included portions of the "Lead" section where she intends to state the most important information about the article's subject and an overview of the content she will later address. Elena's "Lead" section effectively introduces music therapy used in Alzheimer's treatment and begins to delve into the various sections of importance she plans to discuss at length throughout the remainder of the article.

My only suggestion would be to discuss and explain what music therapy is in a general context outside of the topic of Alzheimer's in order to provide the reader with a basic understanding of this type of treatment. Early in the "Lead" section, she may want to define music therapy since this is the focus of the research. Likewise, as she expands on the introduction, the author wants to be sure that she gives equal weight to each aspect/topic of the article that will be discussed in detail. She wants to be sure to reflect the most important information before going into detail in the body of the article.

Body Cathexis
Body cathexis is defined as the degree of satisfaction or dissatisfaction one feels toward various parts and aspects of his or her own body. This evaluative dimension of body image is dependent on a person’s investment of mental and emotional energy in body size, parts, shape, processes, and functions, and is believed to be integral to one’s sense of self-concept. First recognized by Jourard and Secord, body cathexis is assessed by examining correlations between measures of self-concept or esteem and bodily attitudes. An individual’s evaluation of his or her body tends to drive various behaviors, including clothing choices and weight management, and the existence of a universal ideal for certain dimensions of body type is, in many cases, a source of anxiety and insecurity.

Among females in particular, one’s general attitude toward the body is a significant personality variable with mental health implications. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Celia.vaughn (talk • contribs) 13:16, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
