PSY 3211 Research Methods and Design I Pre-Class Assignment #4 APA Formatting
Below is a paragraph with a few APA style errors in it. Your job is to try to spot as many errors as you can!
The development of counterfactual thoughts relies on the variability of the situation as well as the knowledge that different actions could have resulted in alternate outcomes (Alquist, Ainsworth, Baumeister, Daly, and Stillman) (2015). According to Alquist & All, situations that are believed to be highly changeable generate more counterfactual thoughts than events that seem unavoidable. However, ruminating on every conceivable alternative of a situation would take an unlimited amount of time and resources. Instead of allotting so much time and energy on a cognitive task, people tend to narrow down the different scenarios that come to mind according to the degree of controllability of the factors involved (M. McCloy and L. Byrne, 2000, pp. 45). For example, the deliberate decisions individuals make that ultimately lead to a certain outcome is considered to be a controllable event, whereas uncontrollable events are unavoidable circumstances, such as traffic jams or natural disasters (McCloy and Byrne, 2000).
