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!
Beth Leon & et al., 2003 conducted a study looking at forewarning and attractiveness. They found that when it comes to forewarning, those participants who were forewarned showed less persuasion effect by messages than those who were not warned. If the individual is warned before another person will impose a position contrary to their own, that period after the forewarning can be used to rehearse, recall or construct arguments that may support the initial position and negate arguments that go against that first position. Also, it was exposed that manipulation of public commitment to the participant’s point of view, is an important determinant of the forewarning effect (Harrison, Smith, and Jackson, 2020). The higher the commitment, the more resistance to the persuasion effect can be seen (Smith and Johnson, 2003). This may help to explain a more complex factor that it may affect the way individuals respond to any situation.
