summarizing 10 research articles and answering these questions within the summary,
1. What are the constructs being studied? Hint: Use the title to identify them and the introduction to find more information. You do not need to describe every aspect of the constructs, just the general terms.
2. When the participants in a study are not representative of the general population it limits the external validity, or ability to generalize the results to other people. What is a potential threat to the external validity of this study? Hint: Use the method to find more information about who was studied.
3. What was their general approach to statistical analysis? That is, did they look for group differences, relationships, changes over time? Hint: They wove their statistical analysis description into the actual Results section.
4. Do the authors of this paper agree with the findings? Why or why not? Hint: Use the discussion to find more information about the author’s interpretations of their findings.
APA style using this format as described below.
Title Page
To set up your header…
Add the page number to the top right
Write an abbreviated version of your title (your DOES X CAUSE Y question is a good placeholder for now)
Make sure the font is Times New Roman 12 point
Then there should be three lines of text centered and positioned in the upper third of the page
Your title in Bold (your DOES X CAUSE Y question is a good placeholder for now)
Your name
The words “St. Francis College”
Side note: Did you know it is incorrect to write out “Saint” in the school’s name?
Citations
When you have one author…
Narrative: Egan (2023)
Parenthetical: (Egan, 2023)
When you have two authors…
Narrative: Egan and Smith (2023)
Parenthetical: (Egan & Smith, 2023)
Notice the difference: the ampersand is used in parentheses and the word is spelled out in text.
When you have three or more authors…
Narrative: Egan et al. (2023)
Parenthetical: (Egan et al., 2023)
References
General formatting things here…
Starts on a new page with the word References in bold and centered on top
References are listed alphabetically by the first author’s last name, by year if using multiple papers by the same author(s)
Double-spaced like the rest of the paper, but uses a hanging indent (first line is flush left and subsequent lines are indented)
• Put a line break between each summary. Each summary should have either a narrative or parenthetical citation. You should follow general APA style formatting (Times New Roman 12 point font, double-spaced, with 1 inch margins). It does not matter what order you list the summaries in.
