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 findings imply that changing perspectives may cause confidence to decline, however, this impact was only slightly significant (Eyal and friends., 2018). It seems that the particular experimental conditions will determine how perspective-taking affects confidence. Other researchers emphasize the need for more research to learn more about the underlying mechanisms that govern how perspective-taking affects cognitive functions like accuracy and confidence (Manning, Lang, and Roth, 2023). Another study by Grant & Frank adds to the body of literature by emphasizing the consistent decline in egocentrism brought on by perspective-taking (2023, p. 14). Rothman et al (2014) emphasize the need for more study to clarify the intricate connections between perspective-taking, accuracy, and confidence.

2. Now, create an APA style reference (like you would write in a reference page) for the article you read in your assignment # 3 (the title was: Brief Report: Does Watching The Good Doctor Affect Knowledge of and Attitudes Toward Autism?).

3. Correct the following three references – type in the correct format below each incorrect reference. Please write your corrected reference in a different color than black (any color is fine!).

4. Let’s say you wanted to cite the MacGregor article from question 3 above. Pretend that you wrote the following sentence about the paper,
now give me the correct parenthetical in-text citation for this journal article (remember, parenthetical references go at the end of the sentence in parentheses)

Researchers explain how students make decisions with respect to academic integrity

5. Now, let’s say you wanted to cite the Rey article from question 3 above. Pretend that you wrote the following sentence about the paper,
now give me the correct in-text citation within the sentence (not a parenthetical reference, write the reference in the actual sentence. You may edit the sentence accordingly).

Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) can cause people to experience undesirable feelings

6. Now, pretend that you were including the following direct quote from a research paper by Martin S. Schmidt, Christopher M. Romero, and Francis L. Gonzalez in 2023. The journal article is titled, “Alcohol expectancies and predicted drinking behavior”, and you found the quote on page 1153.

“
Subjects were told that the experiment was about alcohol’s influence on preferred learning modes (visual and verbal)”

7. Create a
reference page for the three references you corrected in question 3. Imagine that they are the only three articles that you cited in your paper. Make sure you include the corrected version of the references.
