Psych 101 evaluation

All you get here is a definition, but there are terms in it that are not clarified or identified. For example:

• What constitutes 'performance'?
• What/where is the actual threshold?
• Is it measurable by one or more tests? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Calvinsimmons87 (talk • contribs) 04:12, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

This article needs to be edited because it is too short. Also it only covers the basic information of the topic which there is muth more to this topic so its not very resourceful. it also repeats itself alot which is not a good sign. it uses its definition word like Anxiety threshold in its own defintion which is not good.--BBWiki11 (talk) 01:42, 19 September 2011 (UTC)BBWiki11

This article needs to have sources and places you can go from this page to help people with more information. Maybe putting what causes anxiety threshold and how people can help over come this if they think they have it. Or even what falls under anxiety threshold.Bwebbie12 (talk) 20:06, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Evaluation psych101-52

This article is entirely too vague. There is a huge lack of information to help a reader to understand what an anxiety threshold is. For example this sentence, "The people with anxiety that causes them to view life in a troubling manner is where people reach anxiety threshold." Not only is that sentence poorly written which adds to the challenge of interpretting the information, but it doesn't explain what a troubling manner even means. Therefore after reading that sentence I still don't know what the anxiety threshold entails. The writer gives a couple of examples of anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder, Obsessive compulsive disorder, and panic disorder, but it doesn't explain what any of the symptoms are to explain or define what those disorders mean. There is one example about panic disorder, but it only describes how long it can last. What is it that can last from minutes to hours with a panic attack if a person has panic disorder? This article seems to me like a very poor definition as to what an anxiety threshold is and there really isn't enough information because I still don't feel like I understand the term from reading this.

Reading this article doesn't give you much clariffication. It stated that it affects a person performance, does that mean to function a doing a job,school work,or sports. My understanding is that you performance will be poor with everything until I get a better understanding. Is financial threshold the main issue or can the threshold be triggered by other things?(Sydney Taylor) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sydney lillady (talk • contribs) 02:20, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Information/Sources Added

As part of Assignment 2 of this course:

I added information from 4 sources (cited) in order to created a more substantial article. There article is still in need of a lead and additional information.

Sarah Kimes Peer Review

First, The entire article should be reexamined for bias, I found that, while it uses some technical language, it sounds very biased. The below entry/pharagraph is the one I would concentrate on for bias Particularity in the first lines review is needed:

An anxiety threshold is the level of anxiety that, when reached, will affect a person's performance. Anxiety is a distasteful emotion, similar to fear, that is created by insecurities in one’s abilities, concerns for the future, such as financial or situational circumstances, or past memories of frightening experiences. Anxiety can affect all age groups and if fears are irrational may cause mental disorders.[1] An individual's anxiety threshold can be measured by the amount of anxiety consistently manifested from situation to situation.[2]

I do work in the mental healthcare field so I am fairly familiar with the subject, and I would suggest creating secitions of information such as:

Origin/History-Who first discovered/diagnosed condition, how was the first treatments preformed; if any. Its connection to other mental health conditions

Then something like: Signs and Symptoms of Anxiety Thresholds

Then (sub-heading) Types of Anxiety Thresholds evidenced in other mental health conditions/Anxiety Disorders

Then (heading) Treatments and Diagnosis process.

(Sub heading) Professionals who can Diagnose and treat this condition

A references section, of course.

Some places you can look for information; should you be interested, of course; DSM V (DSM VI and III could be used but the standard choice of Mental healthcare providers is the DSM V) The National Alliance on Mental Illness may have information on this subject, as could the National Institute of Mental Health, Psychology journals and Psychology Today (While this is a article website it also is used to link people to therapists by type of service and is often read and referenced by professionals with peer-reviewed articles.)Sarahkimes (talk) 18:16, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Most text is off-topic

Most of the text in this article is off-topic. For example, the "measures of anxiety" subsection discusses Anxiety but has nothing specific about thresholds. The Causes section also has nothing specific about thresholds. The Treatments section is also about Anxiety but not about thresholds. I think this article should probably be merged with the Anxiety article. ParticipantObserver (talk) 09:24, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Psych 322 Evaluate an Article67.61.101.3 (talk) 20:17, 1 October 2020 (UTC) 67.61.101.3 (talk) 20:15, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

The article has a great structure to it. There is valid information, but no enough detail or sources to back their claims or define constructs. For example, they define anxiety threshold, but they never actually explain at what point a person reaches that threshold. In addition, the symptoms section is very short. There should be more substance and sources to each paragraph to expound upon the information that is being given to make it more credible. Another thing that I thought of that should be changed is the section titled "Home Remedies". It makes it sound like it's a cold or flu and you can alleviate symptoms easily. I feel that it doesn't do justice to how much anxiety threshold effects people and should be changed to a different title. Also, in that section, there is no sources to back the information that can help a person who has reached anxiety threshold. Overall, there is great content to the article, but there is still a lot of improvements that need to be made. 67.61.101.3 (talk) 20:16, 1 October 2020 (UTC) 67.61.101.3 (talk) 20:15, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
