D)
General
Suggestions
for
Successful
Writing
in
Psychology


‐
Writing
in
psychology
is
scientific
and
formal.



‐
We
do
not
use
‘witty’
or
‘flowery’
language,
jokes,
or
informal
sayings,
also
known
as


colloquialisms,
etc.



‐
The
more
straightforward
and
fact‐oriented
the
paper,
the
better.



‐
Writing
in
psychology
is
concise,
to
the
point,
and
academic.



‐
For
some
people
it
takes
time
to
learn
this
skill,
whereas
for
others
it
comes
naturally.


Learning
to
write
in
this
manner
is
a
very
important
skill
that
students
will
take
forward


into
their
professions/careers.


‐
When
writing
a
paper
for
a
psychology
class,
it
is
very
important
to
support
statements


with
references
from
your
sources
(e.g.
citing
peer‐reviewed
journal
articles,
textbooks,


etc.).
This
is
what
makes
a
paper
scientific,
and
ensures
that
no
content
from
the


assignment
is
plagiarized
or
improperly
cited.




How
to
Discuss
and
Cite
an
Academic
Journal
article
in
Your
Paper


In
American
Psychological
Association
(APA)
writing
style,
sources
are
cited
directly
in


the
body
of
the
paper
(no
footnotes,
end
notes,
etc.).
Whenever
information
from
another


source
is
used
(textbook,
academic
article,
etc.)
in
the
body
of
the
paper,
a
citation
is
put


into
the
sentence.
The
citations
typically
go
at
the
end
of
the
sentence,
although
they
can


also
go
in
the
body
of
the
sentence
if
referring
to
the
authors.
Your
in‐text
citations
will


look
like
this:



Your
statement
(author
last
name,
year
of
publication).



OR



 According
to
author
last
name
(year
of
publication),
your
statement.



OR


Poster
presentations
are
most
effective
when
…
(Brownlie,
2007).

According
to
Brownlie
(2007),
poster
presentations

most

OR



 According
to
Rathus,
Maheu
&
Veenvliet
(2013),
psychology
is
the
study
of


behaviour
and
mental
processes.

How
to
Cite
a
Peer‐Reviewed
Academic
Journal
Article
in
Your
References
Section


In
APA
style
we
call
the
list
of
citations
at
the
end
of
a
paper
the
References
section
(not


bibliography
or
works
cited,
etc.).
The
references
section
is
always
in
alphabetical
order,


according
to
author
last
name.
The
references
section
is
always
on
a
separate
page
at
the


end
of
your
paper
(the
page
count
of
assignments
do
not
typically
include
the
references


section).




Notice that the

period goes AFTER

the end-bracket

These are two ways to cite

your textbook in your paper
