Description

APA Citation Guide Psychology The examples below show proper APA citation formatting for three types of sources you will encounter in the Psychology webtext: webtext content, ancillary content, and embedded videos. In instances where you reference ideas or content from the webtext, use these examples as a guide. For all other types of source material, use the APA Formatting and Style Guide at Purdue’s Online Writing Lab (OWL), which follows the 7th edition of the APA Publication Manual.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS Use in-text (author, date) citations for writing discussion-board posts or a paper. Webtext content If you are citing content from one of the standard webtext pages on concepts in psychology, use the authors’ last names and the publication year. The example below is a properly formatted citation for all webtext pages that do not have a page type (such as Course Notes). (Myers & DeWall, 2020) Ancillary content If you are citing content from one of the Course Notes, Milestone, or Project pages in the webtext, or from the Introduction or Conclusion page of a chapter, use the page title in place of the author. The example below shows a properly formatted citation for the Course Notes page titled “Nature and Nurture” on page 2.2 of the Psychology webtext. (“Nature and Nurture,” 2020) Embedded videos If you are citing content from an embedded video within the webtext, use the video uploader’s name (if available), their username in brackets, and the upload year. If a name is not available, just use the uploader’s username (without brackets). To find this information, you may have to navigate to the video’s source page. The example below shows a properly formatted citation for the YouTube video found on page 5.18 of the webtext. (TED, 2016)

REFERENCE LIST For APA Style in-text citations, you will need to include (at the end of your paper) a list of the works you’ve referenced. APA Style Reference List Myers, D., & DeWall, C. N. (2020).
