@SoulfullyAButterfly

the article i read was called “how to trap depression”

Strengths

1)i loved in the beginning when the writer took the time to write a little breifing on what it feels like to live with depression using descriptive words such as its like being cold in the winter. Using as and like were huge for me

2)intead of stating just the symptoms of depression he wrote “indicators” as well!

3)I Thought it was amazing how he wrote three stories of famous people’s struggle stories with depression showing that even spotlight individual’s struggle as average everyday people too.

Expertise:

Used some great key words as well as hyper links.

Comment

1)Could have definitely made a better effort to name the qoutes he was writing.2) He definitely knew what he was doing overall with expertise though! Great job on that!!


Authority: shared his knowledge on depression and what he researched was very consistent with what added up.

Comment

1) did a great job on the evidence 2) and the subheading

Trust: Put three different stories of real life beings who have struggled with depression

comments 1) made sure that the famous people mattered with their depression 2) could have elaborated a little more, the “stories” were a tiny bit short for my liking. The audience’s needs more grab.

_1657498626.96BE7139-2127-4316-AB8D-C2C2435598BA.png

1. offers many helpful insights to people looking to improve their sleep hygiene.

2. Helps people to develop a pre sleep plan and identify habits that may be effecting their quality of sleep.

3. Shows real data and statistics from The National Sleep Foundation

Reviewing Article for EAT.

Expertise:

1. Author did not use personal experiences combined with research. I would have enjoyed to learn more about how he worked through sleep challenges with his clients.

2. Collaborative work with friends/colleagues also in the field would have given the article a more personal touch.

Authority:

1. The data presented is from a study conducted in 2018. While it is helpful, I would like to see a more current study.

2. Case Studies of clients who have used some of the strategies suggested discussing their results would also give the article more authority.

Trustworthiness

1. The strategies suggested come from credible publications. I would have like to have learned more about who developed the strategies.

2. Mr. Fantucchio has over 10 years working in the field of mental health counselling, as well a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology. Based on his education and experience, he is a credible professional on the subject which helps establish trust with readers.

I really like the graphic you’ve created, in particular how you’ve included your username/pseudonym. It is noticeable while still being subtle enough that it doesn’t take attention away from the focus of the graphic- brilliantly balanced!

Article selected: Hormonal Birth Control and Mental Health - The Facts You Need to Know


The first strength of the article is that it has an empathetic tone. Secondly, it is thorough, discussing multiple methods of hormonal birth control in detail. And the final strength I have identified in terms of best practices is that the article is easily shareable on social media platforms.


EXPERTISE: The biography at the end of the article reveals that the writer has been a 7 cups listener since 2021, showing expertise.

The biography also mentions that the writer is studying a degree. I think this could boost expertise, but it isn’t a degree related to the content of the article, whereas a degree related to hormonal birth control or mental health would further the expertise of the content even more.


AUTHORITY: The content shows authority through the many citations it includes, for example a hyperlink to research from The Guttmacher Institute.

The biography mentions that the writer has graduated from the CDM programme so that boosts the authority they have too.


TRUSTWORTHINESS: There is a high level of trust from this content as it is very thorough, including content on lots of forms of birth control.

The trustworthiness could be improved if the content on the birth control pill was edited slightly. There’s a lot of different pills available, but the article only discusses the combined hormonal pill in detail; it would be good to discuss pills containing only oestrogen in detail as well.

The article I chose was Synesthesia Truth: Eating Words and Seeing Sounds

The strengths I found in the article : 1. Mention of saying that synesthesia is a psychological phenomenon instead of a disease or a disorder

2. Explained in simple terms

3. Well thorough

Review of the article :

Expertise- Need to mention any quote or citations about the recent research regarding synesthesia, the title could be more revised.

Authority - the author has mentioned their background in psychology, mentioning a few insights from other authoritative personality would be a good tip

Trust- The quality of the article is informative and trustworthy, although the author could've mentioned a few citations to builds its quality

The graphic that I created was :

Article Selected: https://www.7cups.com/experts/article/10-self-help-books-that-really-works 

Strengths: informative, concise, shareable

EAT (Expertise, Authoritative, Trust)

Expertise:

The article is research-based; before coming up with the 10 titles, the author mentioned combing through quite a number of them.
It is comprehensive but is broken down into smaller bite-sized sentences/paragraphs so it's digestible.

Authoritative:

There are several external backlinks for each item in the list.
I think the reviews mentioned on some of the titles further gave it weight as the ideal content for its topic.

Trust:

The 7Cups website is backlinked which is great.
The author’s bio is at the bottom which adds trust to the readers.

Content Promotion:

Check out the newest article from one of our very own, Rachel Cherry White, only here at 7Cups, your source for self-help guides and anything about mental health :)

I like the way you presented the material. Brief, straightforward, concise. The EAT analysis threw me. I learned from another site that EAT is Author, Author/ Content, Author/ Content. Here is a helpful article incase I am misquoting. Great job!

I also like the graphic. The moving books are a nice touch. I think of Instagram when I'm posting, so I try to make something eye catching that will grab your attention to read more and look at the post longer that 3 seconds!

I keep following you :D thank you for your comments on my work <3

I like the flow of how you write things. It's smooth and digestible which is very important. As for the graphic, I love the simplicity and how clean and minimalist it looks. It doesn't take the attention away from the article itself. My only comment about it is the image used as it is something I cannot fully relate to schizophrenia and delusions. Maybe an image related to that would help readers connect your article to it? :)

@admirableRose261

Hi Rose,

Thank you for highlighting a really interesting article. I agree with your points and think that formatting is a huge part of the success of an article :)

Your graphic is very calming and I like how the image links to finding out information online. Calm font types and colours add a sense of peace and simplicity. Great job!
