User talk:Lancemason7/Schema (psychology)

The first thing I would suggest is finding some references for the section in the article you are editing. I noticed that your edits are not under any header and have a couple of grammar mistakes (placing a comma before "because" and a mistype in "imagine." Good job on keeping it neutral. Keep going!

I see plenty of areas for growth in the Schema article!

-      First, the article has been flagged for needing more citations. I am not exactly sure where these citations are needed specifically.

-      The article, to me, seems to have a lot missing. There are multiple types of schemas, although the article only discusses self-schema. You could write about person schemas, social schemas, event schemas, etc.

o There is an existing Wikipedia page on “Cultural schema theory” that can be linked to further discussion on this schema!

§ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_schema_theory

o Wikipedia also has existing “Attention Schema theory” and “Image schema” articles

-      It can also be discussed how schemas affect different aspects of our lives.

o In learning alone, schema has an influence on attention, speed of processing, categorizing, interpreting information, etc.

o What about bad schemas? (prejudice)

§ Wikipedia has an existing article called “List of Maladaptive Schemas”

·      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_maladaptive_schemas

·      This article lists multiple different kinds of “bad” schemas to discuss; however, there are very few references on this page, so this edit may take a lot of research.

·      This article is also already cited under “Schema Therapy” within the Schema article.

-      The article provides a lot of information on “Schema therapy,” but much of this section is focused on treating maladaptive self-schema. If you end up adding information about other kinds of schemas, I would also suggest including these other types of schemas in the “Schema therapy” section of the article.
