    8. APA Citations- Author NOT Named in Text In schools, “the stress and strains of major social changes have to end up somewhere. Most of the time, they end up in the minds and bodies of people. People absorb them and turn them into physical and psychological stress” (Maslach & Leiter, 1997, p. 34). Author’s last name, Year of publication, page number.

    9. APA Citations- Author Named in Text Selye (1974) notes that when suffering stress, “complete restoration is probably impossible, since every biologic activity leaves some irreversible chemical scars” (p. 27). Author’s last name & year in body of text, page number at the end of author’s material.

    10. APA Quotes of 40 or More Words Quotes of 40 or more words are indented without quote marks and have a few words or a sentence leading into them. This information helps to understand that, as long as an individual's perception believes there is a real threat, the body will respond to that threat. As Masse (2000) contends in the postmodern sociocultural context, distress is, first and foremost, a crisis of the self. This crisis stems from the individual’s perceived capacity or incapacity to control his or her life and to adjust to his or her social environment. (para. 10) From Masse’s research, one can see that stress has an immediate connection to an individual’s life.

    11. Biblical Citation & Reference Citation:  Identify the version used in the first citation used: Example:  (1 Cor. 4:5 International Version)    Technically, the version is not required in citations after the first entry unless you use a different version Bible. Reference Page APA does not require the Bible be listed in the reference page. However, I ask that you do list your Bible because you may at some point use differing versions. The adds clarification. *This is the only APA rule I ask you to change.*

    12. The Reference Page The last page in a paper Lists all the sources cited in the body of the paper.

    13. APA Reference Page Reference Page The Reference page is the last page of the document and begins on a page of its own. Sample reference page items follow this slide.

    19. Example 1 I could write the following statement: Stress is a problem for people today. Stress can even make one ill. As you can see, this is a mere statement, an opinion, a view. However, if I do the following, it is still a statement, but it is backed with research, expert views, etc....

    20. Example 2 Stress is a problem for people today. Stress can even make one ill. In fact, Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program (1999) says that over 80% of all medical claims are due to stress (p.5). Furthermore, stress impacts the body's cells on a biological level, which can not be reversed (Seyle, 1956, p.2). Do you see the difference in my statement now? My statement has been backed with research. Now, I could take this a step further and even bring in research that opposes my view. I could add a quote that says… According to Cooper & Sawaf (1998) “not all stress is bad” (p.89).

    21. Example 3 However, if I want to drive my point home, I would then counter with more information about the bad side of stress such as…. Although some stress can create motivation for a person, prolonged stress creates problems. Seyle (1956) says it is actually repeated stress that keeps the body from relaxing (p.103). This is an extreme example in that I have used several sources to support a small amount of information. My goal for you is to use about 1 citation for a large paragraph.

    22. Example 4 Now, please see the following slide for the section I wrote legend. This will help you to see the citations, etc.
