Psych Essays - Include References in APA Format

References let us know that you know what you’re talking about. They let us know that you’re not
just making things up and are a great way to provide evidence/examples.

As a general rule if you’re unsure whether or not you should use a reference, use a reference. Over referencing is better than under referencing.

References must be in APA format (version 6) because that is the format that is used in Psychology
at this University (the University of Auckland). If you use any other format, regardless of your justification for doing so, you will lose marks. APA formatting guidelines can be found at/by:
