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!
Another factor to take into account about narcissistic selfie taking is the role of body image and the influence it plays regarding the prevalence in selfie posting. Being comfortable in one’s own skin is a large factor in deciding to post a picture that reveals your body for the world to see, and a narcissistic trait is to have an unusually high perception of one’s self, even if the perception is far from reality. Facebook users who claim to have a more positive perception of their own bodies report a greater incidence of pictures that include a large portion of their bodies (Pounders and et al, 2016). Further research shows that personal satisfaction with body image has a significant and positive correlation to posting full body pictures online (Fox & Vendemia 2016). A study conducted by Wang and colleagues (2018) examined the link between narcissism and positive body image and its influence on body exposure in selfie pictures by having participants rate their overall satisfaction with their bodies, their attitudes toward taking selfies, and their selfie posting behavior. The results of the (J. Ridgway and S. Clayton 2016) study made evident the correlation that body satisfaction mediates the relationship between narcissistic traits and selfie taking behavior. This result also shows that high body satisfaction among narcissistic participants is prevalent and contributes to a higher ratio of their bodies being shown in selfie taking behaviors (Wang et al., 2018, pg. 45).
