8. APA Citations- Author NOT Named in Text In schools, “the stress and strains of
major social changes have to end up
somewhere. Most of the time, they
end up in the minds and bodies of
people. People absorb them and turn
them into physical and psychological
stress” (Maslach & Leiter, 1997, p.
34).
Author’s last name, Year of publication, page number.

This information helps to understand that, as long as an individual's perception believes there is a real threat, the body will respond to that threat. As Masse (2000)
contends in the postmodern sociocultural context, distress is, first and foremost, a crisis of the self. This
crisis stems from the individual’s perceived capacity or incapacity to control his or her life and to adjust to his or her social environment. (para. 10)
From Masse’s research, one can see that stress has an immediate connection to an individual’s life.
11. Biblical Citation & Reference Citation:

19. Example 1 I could write the following statement:
Stress is a problem for people today. Stress can even make one ill.
As you can see, this is a mere statement, an opinion, a view. However, if I do the following, it is still a statement, but it is backed with research, expert views, etc....
20. Example 2 Stress is a problem for people today. Stress can even make one ill. In fact, Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program (1999) says that over 80% of all medical claims are due to stress (p.5). Furthermore, stress impacts the body's cells on a biological level, which can not be reversed (Seyle, 1956, p.2).
Do you see the difference in my statement now? My statement has been backed with research. Now, I could take this a step further and even bring in research that opposes my view. I could add a quote that says… According to Cooper & Sawaf (1998) “not all stress is bad” (p.89).
21. Example 3 However, if I want to drive my point home, I would then counter with more information about the bad side of stress such as….
Although some stress can create motivation for a person, prolonged stress creates problems. Seyle (1956) says it is actually repeated stress that keeps the body from relaxing (p.103).
This is an extreme example in that I have used several sources to support a small amount of information. My goal for you is to use about 1 citation for a large paragraph.
22. Example 4 Now, please see the following slide for the section I wrote legend. This will help you to see the citations, etc.
