Abstract
[The abstract should be one paragraph of between 150 and 250 words. It is not indented.
Section titles, such as the word Abstract above, are not considered headings so they don’t use
bold heading format. Instead, use the Section Title style. This style automatically starts your
section on a new page, so you don’t have to add page breaks. To apply any text style in this
document with just a tap, on the Home tab of the ribbon, check out Styles.]
[The body of your paper uses a half-inch first line indent and is double-spaced. APA style
provides for up to five heading levels, shown in the paragraphs that follow. Note that the word
Introduction should not be used as an initial heading, as it’s assumed that your paper begins with
an introduction.]
