“…Data also suggest that the average size of (i.e., the number of citations within) each in-groups citation had expanded over time. The timing of this increased volume of citations corresponded to the wider availability of PsycLIT and PsycINFO on CD-ROMs in the mid-1980s (VandenBos, 1992) and the subsequent expansion of the databases to the historical literature back to 1887.…”

“…Trauma is an event in which a person witnesses or experiences a threat to his or her own life or physical safety or that of others and experiences fear, terror, or helplessness (VandenBos, 2007). Sixty to ninety percent of the general population has experienced traumatic events (Breslau, 2002).…”

Traumatic events are linked with an array of adverse consequences such as substance use. Only a few individuals exposed to traumatic events, however, suffer from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or substance use. The present longitudinal study examined the inter-relationship among victimization, PTSD, and substance use. 674 participants (53% African Americans, 47% Puerto Ricans) were surveyed over five time waves at mean ages 14, 19, 24, 29, and 36. Of the 674, 60% were females. We used Mplus to perform structural equation modeling. Victimization at ages 19, 24, and 29 was directly associated with substance use at age 36 and was also related to PTSD at age 36. PTSD, in turn, was related to substance use at age 36. This study indicates the importance of intervention for those who have been victimized with a focus on PTSD treatment. From a public health perspective, health providers should consider treatment and prevention programs for helping individuals cope with some of the consequences of victimization. This might ultimately reduce substance use.

“…The title "Publication Manual" was first used in 1952, and new revisions followed in 1957, 1967, 1974, and 1983. By 1990, annual sales exceeded 200,000 copies (VandenBos, 1992). The 1994 revision is 368 pages.…”

“…Several recent developments should make the process less painful. The APA has actively promoted the use of the Publication Manual to undergraduate faculty in a number of disciplines, including English composition (VandenBos, 1992). New materials have appeared that provide exercises and other pedagogical aids designed to help students master APA style (Gelfand & Walker, 1990a) and help faculty members teach it (Gelfand & Walker, 1990b).…”

The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (4th ed., APA, 1994 I t might be argued that all American psychologists, regardless of specialty, share at least two common educational experiences: a course in statistics and exposure to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. "APA style" (e.g., Gelfand & Walker, 1990a) has come to refer to this well-developed system of writing conventions that includes information on how to organize empirical reports, how to reference published works, and how to solve dozens of other technical problems that arise in the preparation of a manuscript. But the use of APA style has spread far beyond settings in which manuscripts are readied for publication. Psychology curricula typically require that competence in APA style be demonstrated in class papers, theses, and dissertations. Indeed, the use of APA style has become common even in disciplines outside psychology, such as education and nursing. Contemporary English composition textbooks (e.g., Hacker, 1992) present APA style as an established standard on a par with the venerable "MLA style" (Achtert & Gibaldi, 1985).Although fully appreciating its ubiquitous presence in the discipline, we argue in this article that APA style plays an even greater role in psychology than it might appear. We propose that APA style is not just a collection of arbitrary stylistic conventions but also encapsulates the core values and epistemology of the discipline. APA style is itself a model for thinking about psychological phenomena and serves as an important socialization experience for psychologists. We show in this article that the subtleties of APA style make its mastery a challenging task that is frequently underestimated by both students and professors. APA Style as a Writing GenreAlthough familiarity with APA style prose makes it seem unremarkable, it is nonetheless a specialized genre of writing that differs in many ways from writing found in other disciplines. Figure 1 shows a comparison of features of academic writing drawn from scholarly journals in literary criticism, history, and two areas of psychology. We obtained these data by examining the first 25 articles published in 1992 in representative journals of each discipline.Although these textual differences may seem minor, they have major rhetorical consequences that give each discipline its own characteristic voice. Subheadings are not common in literary criticism and history but are widely used in psychology. By announcing the next major topic, subheadings reduce the need for authors to incorporate transitional passages to connect major sections. When subheadings are standardized, as in most psychology journals, the organizational structure they impose contributes to the communication between writer and reader by creating specific expectations about forthcoming information. The extensive use of discursive footnotes in disciplines such as literary criticism and history has the effect of establishing a second, parallel text that the author can ...
