Personality Assessment
Part 1: Jung and Briggs Myers personality results analysis
My personality test based on Jung and Briggs Myers typology indicated that I have an INTJ (introverted (38 percent), Intuitive (19 percent), thinking (6 percent), and judging (25 percent) type of personality. My results indicate that I have a moderate preference for introversion over extroversion. I have a slight preference for intuition over sensing, a slight preference for thinking over feeling, and a mild preference for judging over perceiving. As INTJ, my primary mode of living is known to be focused intrinsically; I take things and decisions based on my intuition. My secondary way of living is external, where I deal with situations rationally and logically. INTJ is known as masterminds; they live in a world of ideas and plan strategically rather than following their emotions. I value competence, intelligence, and knowledge as an INTJ person, and I have similar expectations to other people I work with currently and in the past. Since I am more of an introvert, I channel my energy into observing the world to generate potential ideas and possibilities which may turn out to be innovative. According to David Keirsey, a psychologist, and developer of the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, nearly 1 to 4 percent of the world's population has an INTJ personality type. Keirsey's four temperaments are better known as their subdivided sixteen kinds of personalities. The four-character types, according to Keirsey. The sixteen personality types include guardians, Artisans, Rationales, and Idealists; there are four personality types (Daniel, 2.

Hate Crimes are crimes committed by persons that are in large paJeanmarieColbert3
"Hate Crimes" are crimes committed by persons that are in large part motivated by the victims religion, ethnicity, race, orientaton, and so on. Do you support legislation that increases the penalties for crimes if the state proves the crime was indeed a "hate crime". Why do you, and perhaps others, support this type of legislation? Why be against this legislation? What might be the legal, constitutional, or fundemental issues of punishing a person more, because of the reason(s) they committed a crime?

Introduction
The objective of this study plan is to evaluate the viability of our solution in relation to previously conducted test cases for companies operating in industries analogous to those of our own. In this section, we will concentrate on the manner in which these use cases measure the performance characteristics of various technical and behavioral qualities connected with an investment in technology made on behalf of a business. The viewpoints and data sources of stakeholders will be incorporated into our measuring system. This measurement framework will be utilized by us in order to assess and analyze the overall performance of our product. After the solution has been implemented, we will conduct post-implementation evaluations to determine how the solution affected the organization. The management of change will play a significant role in our overall research agenda. The plan will adhere to a certain format in providing the findings of the data analysis.
Measurement framework
In order to present an all-encompassing picture of performance, the measuring framework must to take into account the many stakeholder viewpoints as well as the various data sources. Perspectives from stakeholders may come from a variety of sources, such as the user community, project managers, or senior leadership. Customer feedback, system logs, and performance statistics are three examples of potential data sources (Thabane, 2009).
The purpose of the measurement framework is to supply stakeholders with viewpoints and data sources that may be utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of an investment in technology. The framework consists of four dimensions: behavioral characteristics, organizational aspects, user factors, and technological qualities (McShane, 2018). To evaluate how well the technology investment is working out, there is a separate set of performance indicators linked with each of the dimensions of the evaluation.
Indicators such as system uptime, reaction time, and throughput are examples of technical qualities. Indicators that make up behavioral qualities include things like user happiness, adoption rates, and the costs of training. Indicators like as return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership are included in the category of organizational variables (TCO). The metrics that make up user factors include things like user happiness, adoption rates, and training expenses (McShane, 2018).
The measuring framework draws its information from a variety of data sources, including organizational data, user data, performance data, and financial data. The return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO) of the technological investment may both be calculated using financial data (Jalal, 2017). The uptime, reaction time, and throughput of the system may all be evaluated based on the performance statistics. Data from users may be analyzed to determine factors such as user happiness, adoption rates, and the costs of training (Thabane,.

Project One: Executive SummaryProblem
With the restricted economic activity expected because of the COVID-19 outbreak, and the rise in inflation the revenue for the automobile engine and parts manufacturing industry has been adjusted to decline by 10.9% by the end of 2022 (Pantalon, 2022). Based on the current challenges the automotive industry faces, we must diversify our engine manufacturing and its operations to expand our revenue. In this presentation, I will be using qualitative and quantitative data to explain why I think our company should rapidly explore the ever-evolving and growing popularity of the electric car industry and develop electric motors. I will show the qualitative data which will focus on the industry reports of engine manufacturing inside the automotive industry. The quantitative data that I will provide will estimate the projections for future operations and provide fact-checked historical data on the automotive industry. Automotive Manufacturing Industry
After conducting extensive research into the current automotive industry status, where I focused on the performance and expectations for the industry's future, the 2021 measured revenue of the US car and automobile manufacturing was $75 billion. This is compared to previous years, such as 2020 $69 billion, and in 2019 and 2018 $92 billion (MarketLine 2021). Although we saw a rise from 2020 to 2021 in revenue the automobile manufacturing industry revenue will continue to not keep pace with previous years. As the domestic demand for new vehicles trends higher, three automotive hubs are expected to gain greater traction over the next few years. With that said the US automotive industry is heavily established in the Great Lakes region. This region represents just over 36% of the automobile manufacturers in the US. Some of the most successful automobile making are located here which include the Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Fiat Chrysler. All these manufacturers are in Michigan which makes up 15% of all automobile manufacturing revenue in the US. With that said there are 2 more regions where automobile manufacturers operate that make up 50% of all us manufacturers' locations. The Regions are the West Region, making up 25.4% of the industry locations, and the Southeast Region, making up 24.6% of the industry locations. After conducting research, the consumer's current mindset is shifting towards a “greener” option for the automobile. This option would have a smaller carbon footprint, providing an increase in producing vehicles that are more environmentally friendly. As a result of this new stance on a “greener” option by the consumer the hybrid and the electric car are gaining popularity and are expected to multiply over the next five years (MarketLine 2018). “In 2025 the North American hybri.

Management of Care
Management of care involves organizing, prioritizing, maintaining strict patient confidentiality, providing patient with efficient care, education to patient and families, risk stratification, coordination of care transition and medication management. Patient care management is provided to client by nurses and other health care professionals “Management of the critically injured patient is optimized by a coordinated team effort in an organized trauma system that allow for rapid assessment and initiation of life- preserving therapies. (Cantrell, E., & Doucet, J. 2018). Effective patient care management can impact patient heath more positively, when all healthcare professionals work together to provide quality care in promoting patient centered care. Adequate patient care can prevent readmission or admission, also can reduce distress, total cost of care, improve self-management, disease control and patient overall health.
Patient care is important to patient because its ensure that patient receive the needed possible care they deserve when in the hospital and out of the hospital, patient will feel their demand is understood and listened to if they health needs are met and understood by professionals that know how to manage their health care needs, health care management team member work together to ensure patient safety through effective communication and collaboration, advocating for patient by connecting patient to community and social services resources that will promote their health care needs can be beneficial to patient, environmental and home risk assessment, and effective facilitation of communication between members of the healthcare team.
Nurses play a role in managing a patient health, roles such as: Critical thinking skills, in this case the nurse can recognize any shift in patient health status which plays a significant role in decision making and patient centered care. Time management: delegation, prioritization such as knowing what to do first, what is important, and knowing what task is more important for the patient at a particular time. Patient education is also one of the many role’s nurses do to educate patient on what to expect during a procedure, or during recovery, also teachings on complications or adverse effects of a medication. Clinical reasoning and judgement which will promote quality of health through patient centered care that addresses patient specific health care needs. Holman, H. C., Williams, “et al”. (2019).

Problem Orientation and Psychological Distress Among Adolescents: Do Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies Mediate Their Relationship?

Part One
The development of essential attitudes and abilities that help determine a person's susceptibility to psychological discomfort occurs throughout adolescence's formative years. This particular research aimed to investigate the relationship between problem-solving-oriented and cognitive-behavioral techniques for emotion regulation and levels of psychological discomfort (Speyer etal.,2021).
Notably, the issue of violence among adolescents is increasingly recognized as a severe problem in terms of public health. However, little research has investigated the importance of techniques to control cognitive emotion in teenagers, despite the increased interest in psychographic risk factors for violent conduct. The primary focus of this study will be to investigate the frequency of violent behaviors shown by adolescents and to determine the nature of the connection that exists between specific coping mechanisms for regulating cognition and emotion and various manifestations of aggressive behavior. Using confidential, self-reporting questionnaires, the research will conduct a cross-sectional survey of 3,315 students in grades 7 to 10 to investigate methods by which young adolescents may manage their cognitive processes, emotions, and actions connected to violence. The participants will be notified about the survey, but their personal information will not be public under any circumstances since this would violate ethical standards.
The influence of a father on his children might also vary depending on the gender and age of the kid. For boys, parental psychological distress is related to higher internalizing and externalizing issues throughout early adolescence. This finding lends credence to the notion that this stage of development may be especially significant in father-son exchanges. On the other hand, there is a correlation between maternal and paternal psychological discomfort in early infancy and increased levels of internalizing and externalizing difficulties in females (Speyer et al.,2021). Growing up with a father who struggles with mental illness may make girls more reserved, reducing the possibility that they would acquire issues that are manifested outside their bodies. This is one of the possible explanations.
Part Two
The whole of this project shall be guided by the research questions below: (what is the prevalence of adolescent violent behaviors? what is the relationship between specific strategies to regulate cognitive emotion and forms of violent behavior?)
To help operationalize the variables, a logistic regression model will be used to determine the nature of the connection between specific violent actions .

necessity. From many points of view
and experiences, the different strategies
have brought success to many
companies that were therefore
encouraged to carry out the entire
integration process. The benefits speak
for themselves: lower expenses for

West Chester Private School Case Study
Grand Canyon University
MGT-420: Organizational Behavior and Management
December 11th, 2022
West Chester Private School
Your introduction should be typed here. It should be at least four sentences and include a thesis statement that introduces all the key points of the paper. Please note that you should follow all APA writing rules within your essay. This means avoid first and second person, do not use contractions, and use citations throughout your paper. The final sentence in your introduction must be a strong thesis statement that introduces every key topic that will be introduced in the paper. Remember that a thesis should be one sentence. Here is an example: In the pages to follow, West Chester Private School (WCPS) will be discussed in the context of open systems, organizational culture, the decision to close and the closure process, the impact of technology and innovation on stakeholders, administration closure options, the plans for future direction of WCPS, along with the four functions of management.
External Environment and Open Systems
There are certain ways in which organizations interact with their external environment (as open systems). These ways rely on the Systems Approach to Management Theory, which perceives an organization as an open system that consists of interdependent and interrelated parts interacting as sub-systems (Jackson, 2017). Generally, organizations rely on the exchange of resources and information with their environments. More so, they cannot hold complete control over their behavior and actions, which are significantly impacted by external forces. For example, an organization may be impacted by various environmental conditions such as government regulations, client demands, and raw material availability. As an open system, an organization can interact with the external environment in the context of inputs, transformations, and outputs. Inputs refer to both human and non-human resources like materials, energy, and information. Transformations refer to the conversion of inputs into outputs. For example, a school can transform a student into an educated individual. Finally, outputs refer to what an organization is giving to the environment.
Internal Environment and Organizational Culture
At the time of the closure, the effectiveness of West Chester Private School (WCPS) as an open system was inadequate. One important factor that impacts the effectiveness of an open system is feedback. Feedback refers to the information that an open system receives from the external environment, which can be used to maintain a system at optimal working conditions or a steady state (Jung & Vakharia, 2019). In the case of WCPS, feedback could be received from parents, teachers, and students. At the time of the closure, none of these stakeholders was consulted. Instead, WCPS made a unilateral decision to close down two campuses without considering the input of parents, te.

Toxoplasmosis and Effects on Abortion, And Fetal Abnormalities
Toxoplasmosis and Effects on Abortion, And Fetal Abnormalities
Abstract
The placenta is an immune-privileged organ that may tolerate antigen exposure without eliciting a strong inflammatory response that could result in an abortion. After that, the pregnancy can progress normally. Th1 answers, characterized by interferon-, are essential for suppressing intracellular infections. Therefore, the maternal immune system finds a catch-22 when intracellular parasites invade the placenta. The pro-inflammatory response required to eradicate the virus carries the danger of causing an abortion. Toxoplasma is a potent parasite that causes lifetime infections and is a leading cause of abortions in people and animals. This paper speculates that the pregnancy outcome may be affected by the Toxoplasma strain and the effectors of the parasite, both of which can modify the signaling pathways of the host cell.
Introduction
Fetuses infected with the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii can develop a disorder known as toxoplasmosis, sometimes called congenital toxoplasmosis. This disease is transmitted from mother to child in the womb. A miscarriage or a stillbirth might happen as a result. A child with this illness may also have significant and progressively deteriorating difficulties in their vision, hearing, motor skills, cognitive ability, and other areas of development. The parasite Toxoplasma gondii is blamed for many pregnancies ending in miscarriage (Arranz-Solís et al., 2021). Most abortions happen in the first trimester of pregnancy or during the early stages of acute sickness. This research aimed to determine if women who had an abortion were more likely to be infected with toxoplasmosis.
To make matters worse, the toxoplasmosis-causing Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular pathogen that infects nearly every animal species with a thermoregulatory system. Transferring Toxoplasma from one host to another requires the development of tissue cysts that are infectious when ingested. This means the parasite is incentivized to ensure that the host organism lives during the infection. The parasite does this by stimulating an immune response powerful enough to limit parasite reproduction. Toxoplasma, on the other hand, uses a unique set of effectors to evade the immune response and ensure that the parasite population does not decrease to zero.
Results
Type II strains are the most common cause of infection in both animal and human hosts. However, all four clonal lineages of Toxoplasma may be found throughout Europe and North America. It has been established, however, that the bulk of the South American isolates identified is genetically distinct from the strains seen in North America and Europe. Certain sorts of isolates have been labeled as atypical strains. Birth abnormalities apart, type II strains are the most common in Europe and North America, where the great majority of .

(CCH) P11,677
February 6, 1985, Argued and Submitted - Los Angeles, California
September 16, 1985, Decided
PRIOR HISTORY: [**1] Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, D.C.
NO. CV-80-1810-N, Honorable Leland C. Nielsen, District Judge, Presiding.
CASE SUMMARY:
PROCEDURAL POSTURE: Plaintiff professional football player appealed from judgments of the United States
District Court for the Southern District of California entered in favor of defendant union on plaintiff's claim for breach
of the duty of fair representation and in favor of defendant attorneys on plaintiff's legal malpractice claim.
OVERVIEW: Plaintiff football player filed suit against defendant union for breach of the duty of fair representation,
alleging that defendant attorneys, who were staff counsel for defendant union, erroneously advised him to file the wrong
type of grievance and failed to rectify the error when there was an opportunity to do so. Plaintiff also claimed that
defendant attorneys committed malpractice. The trial court entered judgment for defendants. On appeal, the court
affirmed. The court found that defendant union did not act in an arbitrary, discriminatory, or bad faith manner and held
that mere negligence or an error in judgment was insufficient to impose liability for breach of the duty of fair
representation. The court affirmed the directed verdict in favor of defendant first attorney because a union attorney may
not be held liable in malpractice to an individual union member for acts performed as the union's agent in the collective
bargaining process. The court affirmed the summary judgment entered in favor of defendant second attorney. The trial
court lacked personal jurisdiction over him because his only contact with the forum state were phone calls and letters.
OUTCOME: The court affirmed the judgment in favor of defendant union because it did not breach its duty of fair
representation. The court affirmed the directed verdict in favor of defendant first attorney because he was not liable in
malpractice to plaintiff football player for acts he performed as the union's agent. The court affi.

1. When drug prices increase at a faster rate than inflation, the .docxrobert345678
1. When drug prices increase at a faster rate than inflation, the groups of people that bear the burden of this increase are taxpayers and Medicare beneficiaries. Taxpayers are paying higher taxes as a result of increased government spending, and Medicare beneficiaries cannot keep up with the price of their prescriptions. When it comes to the factors in making a decision about increasing drug prices, I believe Big Pharma companies should act in a socially responsible manner, meaning they should base their decisions not solely on profit, and not solely on healthcare. There should be a balance, and new policies would be beneficial to help maintain that balance.
2. Lower-level employees have the responsibility to provide accurate information to management so that they can make the most informed decision. Lower-level employees also have the responsibility to not purposefully make material mistakes or purposefully not correct a known mistake.
3. Increased government spending will increase taxes for taxpayers and decrease available spending for other worthy issues. Taxpayers will essentially pay more in taxes and therefore have less income available. With drug prices rising faster than inflation, this will cause a widening gap between annual income and costs. Also, private health insurance costs will increase premiums and out of pocket costs for members. The stakeholders most directly impacted are the senior citizens that are dependent on their medication and can’t afford it or any other out of pocket costs because of the already wide gap between their income and expenses. I believe the government itself can be seen as a stakeholder as well because as they continue to increase Medicare funding, their deficit increases, causing them to take action to allocate resources effectively.
4. If the increase in price of existing drugs is preventing those who need those drugs from obtaining them, then to me it is hard to justify the increase based on R&D. There will always be a trade-off between affordable drugs and how quickly we can get new drugs. The government must devise a policy that improves Big Pharma companies’ incentive for affordability
and innovation.
5. Explain what you think each of the following statements means in the context of moral development.
. How far are you willing to go to do the right thing?
1. Stage 6 of moral development is about universal “self-chosen” ethical principles. This stage is about following your conscience even if it violates the law. In thinking of moral development, as time passes, one’s level of ethical reasoning advances and some issues may spark moral outrage that force a response.
. How much are you willing to give up to do what you believe is right?
1. This statement relates to moral development and how sometimes doing the right thing can have negative consequences. For example, an employee may notice a purposeful mistake by a manager. Let’s assume the employee is certain they will receiv.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore stress and behavioral factors that impact work and life satisfaction among employees from diverse workforces. In this study, the goal is to identify stressors or behavioral factors through a survey to help find an intervention that can increase work-life satisfaction and job performance. The results help employers know which factors prevent employees from achieving home satisfaction in activities outside of work so that they improve work and life satisfaction for their employees. This also helps employees find a balance so they can do a better job at work and complete satisfying tasks at home.
Stress and Behavioral Factors That Inhibit Work and Home Satisfaction
For many employees, it can be tough to maintain a healthy balance between their work life and home life. The easiest way to discover a common factor that most employees may face is by conducting a quick survey about their difficulties at both locations. To create a work-life balance, interventions can be o.

3. How might the balance sheet help you in future financial planning?
4. How close to reality do you think your estimated personal cash flow statement will be if you track your actual income and expenses for a month?
1. It gave me the desire to track my finances more closely and objectively. I liked how we can determine our net worth through some simple calculations and our inflows and outflows per month. Generally, I rely on simple finance apps like
Mint to track my finances. Currently, I do not create monthly budgets, but I now believe such action could be helpful.
2. I know that I have more assets than I am counting in the excel sheet. Therefore, my net worth is potentially higher. I also have a variety of streaming platforms.
I would benefit from switching from one platform to another month by month to save money. Streaming platforms are not a significant expense. Currently, my most considerable expense is transportation. Since gas prices are falling, this will help increase my surplus.
3. Accounting is math: it either works or doesn’t. Each can be traced from its inception (a sale, an expense, a money transfer) to the line on the financial statement. Since I don’t have much experience with financials, I try to seek out a mentor who is a family member. A balance sheet will ensure that I am not spending foolishly and ensure I am making appropriate purchases within the limits I set for myself. Proper planning will ensure I maximize my net worth.
4. It is important to consider cash flow when planning for the future
. It is important to save money every month in order to be able to make better financial decisions in the future. I hope to use some investing approaches for beginners to purchase funds without getting into debt. Most people underestimate how much they truly spend in a month. Therefore, I am underestimating how much I spend as well. I eat out quite a bit with friends and family, so my restaurant bill for the holidays might be higher than anticipated.

The Biography of Langston Hughes
THE BIOGRAPHY OF LANGSTON HUGHES
2
On February 1, 1901, James Mercer Langston Hughes was born. He was born in
Joplin, Missouri, to James and Caroline Hughes, into a family of enslaved people and
enslavers (Leach, 2004). His father departed from the family, later divorcing their family,
forcing Langston's mother to move to Lawrence, Kansas, with his maternal grandmother. It
was from the latter that Langston learned about African American traditions, installing an
enormous sense of pride into the young man (Hughes et al., 2001). This greatly influenced his
writing, as evidenced by poems such as Mother to Son. He would then go on to join
Columbia University to study engineering, where he would write poetry for the Columbia
Daily Spectator. As a result of racial discrimination, he finally left the school and resided in
Harlem, where he was engulfed by the vibrant feeling of life (Leach, 2004).
Langston began cruising as a crewman aboard the S.S. Malone in 1923, after doing a
few odd jobs. He subsequently took his first white-collar job as Carter G. Woodson's assistant
at the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, a historian. He'd then
leave his work since it didn't enable him to write. He would later work as a busboy. He got
his big writing break when he met Vachel Lindsay, a famous poet of the time, with whom
Langston shared his poetry (Leach, 2004). Lindsay was heavily impressed and helped
Langston reach the big stage. Langston then went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from
Lincoln University.
Langston began his literary career in 1921 by publishing The Crisis in the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People magazine (Leach, 2004). The poem
Mother to Son was in this book and would go on to get much acclaim. He would go on to
release The Weary Blues along with other novels, short stories, and poems (Hughes et al.,
2001). He participated heavily in the Harlem Renaissance. Langston would pass away on
May 22, 1967, from surgery complications while being treated for prostate cancer.

Well, son, I’ll tell you:
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
It’s had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I’se been a-climbin’ on,
And reachin’ landin’s,
And turnin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark
Where there ain’t been no light.
So boy, don’t you turn back.
Don’t you set down on the steps
’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.
Don’t you fall now—
For I’se still goin’, honey,
I’se still climbin’,
And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.

Executive Summary
The proposed event, titled “Save Our Doughmocracy: A Moophoric Voter Registration
and Ice Cream Social Event” is intended to support the voter registration movement for the 2020
election. Since this event has already happened, the proposal is written theoretically as though
the event date has not yet passed, or in the future tense of what “will” occur. The event will be
hosted by the ice cream brand Ben & Jerry’s on behalf of the Democratic National Committee. It
will serve as an opportunity for attendees to register to vote, connect with Democratic candidates
for the upcoming election, and exclusively sample a new flavor of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream that
is being created specifically for the event. Ben & Jerry’s is an extremely popular brand, loved for
its specialty ice cream and involvement in important social causes. The brand uses its platform to
advocate for numerous movements that its founders and employees support. The goal of this
event is to reestablish election integrity and uphold the values that comprise democracy. Many
people are discriminated against by outdated and unlawful voter registration laws, making it
extremely difficult for certain groups to vote or discouraging them from doing so altogether. The
proposed event aims to aid these groups in their voter registration process in a relaxed, helpful,
and fun way.
Similar events include political candidate rallies, voter registration events, and ice cream
or dessert experiential events. Although these types of events have some overlap with “Save Our
Doughmocracy,” none of them are exactly the same in the way that we combine all of these
events into one, which gives us a competitive advantage. Marketing strategies and promotions
will emphasize this key differentiator to attract people to our event over others. The event’s
strengths include customer loyalty to Ben & Jerry’s, a centralized event location, appeal through
its exclusivity, and a well-established platform for promotion, while weaknesses include
potential controversy due to the Democratic National Committee’s involvement and competing
Ben & Jerry’s locations. The key opportu.

Motor Vehicle Safety Defects and Recall System: An Empirical Study in Saudi Arabia
2- Research Summary
Summarize the aims, significance and expected outcomes of your proposed research (max. 250 words).
It is to set the mechanism for recalling vehicles with manufacturing defects that affect in
one way or another the safety of vehicles and their users, and this is done by linking a
unified system in which the defective vehicle data is added and called in the system to
the maintenance centers of the concerned vehicle agencies. Workmanship defects are
classified as: (1) Basic defects, which are considered to have a serious and direct impact
on the safety of the vehicle and its users, and the inspection process cannot be passed
until after the defect is fixed. (2) Warning defects, which are considered a defect in the
product, but the effect of the defect does not threaten the safety of the vehicle and its
users pass the examination process and the defect is added as a warning only.
This research proposal aims to find the most effective way to reach every defected
vehicle and the effective way to deal with the vehicle owner to do the necessary changes
especially if it's related to safety in a systematic way. The purpose of the project is to
develop a new business model that was never used everywhere in the world and Saudi
Arabia will take the lead to publish this model to the rest of the world. Ensuring that the
practice will be used is the most effective practise as enabling to force the defected car
owner to have their vehicles fixed and the defected was solved.

Introduction
The objective of this study plan is to evaluate the viability of our solution in relation to previously conducted test cases for companies operating in industries analogous to those of our own. In this section, we will concentrate on the manner in which these use cases measure the performance characteristics of various technical and behavioral qualities connected with an investment in technology made on behalf of a business. The viewpoints and data sources of stakeholders will be incorporated into our measuring system. This measurement framework will be utilized by us in order to assess and analyze the overall performance of our product. After the solution has been implemented, we will conduct post-implementation evaluations to determine how the solution affected the organization. The management of change will play a significant role in our overall research agenda. The plan will adhere to a certain format in providing the findings of the data analysis.
Measurement framework
In order to present an all-encompassing picture of performance, the measuring framework must to take into account the many stakeholder viewpoints as well as the various data sources. Perspectives from stakeholders may come from a variety of sources, such as the user community, project managers, or senior leadership. Customer feedback, system logs, and performance statistics are three examples of potential data sources (Thabane, 2009).
The purpose of the measurement framework is to supply stakeholders with viewpoints and data sources that may be utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of an investment in technology. The framework consists of four dimensions: behavioral characteristics, organizational aspects, user factors, and technological qualities (McShane, 2018). To evaluate how well the technology investment is working out, there is a separate set of performance indicators linked with each of the dimensions of the evaluation.
Indicators such as system uptime, reaction time, and throughput are examples of technical qualities. Indicators that make up behavioral qualities include things like user happiness, adoption rates, and the costs of training. Indicators like as return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership are included in the category of organizational variables (TCO). The metrics that make up user factors include things like user happiness, adoption rates, and training expenses (McShane, 2018).
The measuring framework draws its information from a variety of data sources, including organizational data, user data, performance data, and financial data. The return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO) of the technological investment may both be calculated using financial data (Jalal, 2017). The uptime, reaction time, and throughput of the system may all be evaluated based on the performance statistics. Data from users may be analyzed to determine factors such as user happiness, adoption rates, and the costs of training (Thabane,.

Project One: Executive SummaryProblem
With the restricted economic activity expected because of the COVID-19 outbreak, and the rise in inflation the revenue for the automobile engine and parts manufacturing industry has been adjusted to decline by 10.9% by the end of 2022 (Pantalon, 2022). Based on the current challenges the automotive industry faces, we must diversify our engine manufacturing and its operations to expand our revenue. In this presentation, I will be using qualitative and quantitative data to explain why I think our company should rapidly explore the ever-evolving and growing popularity of the electric car industry and develop electric motors. I will show the qualitative data which will focus on the industry reports of engine manufacturing inside the automotive industry. The quantitative data that I will provide will estimate the projections for future operations and provide fact-checked historical data on the automotive industry. Automotive Manufacturing Industry
After conducting extensive research into the current automotive industry status, where I focused on the performance and expectations for the industry's future, the 2021 measured revenue of the US car and automobile manufacturing was $75 billion. This is compared to previous years, such as 2020 $69 billion, and in 2019 and 2018 $92 billion (MarketLine 2021). Although we saw a rise from 2020 to 2021 in revenue the automobile manufacturing industry revenue will continue to not keep pace with previous years. As the domestic demand for new vehicles trends higher, three automotive hubs are expected to gain greater traction over the next few years. With that said the US automotive industry is heavily established in the Great Lakes region. This region represents just over 36% of the automobile manufacturers in the US. Some of the most successful automobile making are located here which include the Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Fiat Chrysler. All these manufacturers are in Michigan which makes up 15% of all automobile manufacturing revenue in the US. With that said there are 2 more regions where automobile manufacturers operate that make up 50% of all us manufacturers' locations. The Regions are the West Region, making up 25.4% of the industry locations, and the Southeast Region, making up 24.6% of the industry locations. After conducting research, the consumer's current mindset is shifting towards a “greener” option for the automobile. This option would have a smaller carbon footprint, providing an increase in producing vehicles that are more environmentally friendly. As a result of this new stance on a “greener” option by the consumer the hybrid and the electric car are gaining popularity and are expected to multiply over the next five years (MarketLine 2018). “In 2025 the North American hybri.

Management of Care
Management of care involves organizing, prioritizing, maintaining strict patient confidentiality, providing patient with efficient care, education to patient and families, risk stratification, coordination of care transition and medication management. Patient care management is provided to client by nurses and other health care professionals “Management of the critically injured patient is optimized by a coordinated team effort in an organized trauma system that allow for rapid assessment and initiation of life- preserving therapies. (Cantrell, E., & Doucet, J. 2018). Effective patient care management can impact patient heath more positively, when all healthcare professionals work together to provide quality care in promoting patient centered care. Adequate patient care can prevent readmission or admission, also can reduce distress, total cost of care, improve self-management, disease control and patient overall health.
Patient care is important to patient because its ensure that patient receive the needed possible care they deserve when in the hospital and out of the hospital, patient will feel their demand is understood and listened to if they health needs are met and understood by professionals that know how to manage their health care needs, health care management team member work together to ensure patient safety through effective communication and collaboration, advocating for patient by connecting patient to community and social services resources that will promote their health care needs can be beneficial to patient, environmental and home risk assessment, and effective facilitation of communication between members of the healthcare team.
Nurses play a role in managing a patient health, roles such as: Critical thinking skills, in this case the nurse can recognize any shift in patient health status which plays a significant role in decision making and patient centered care. Time management: delegation, prioritization such as knowing what to do first, what is important, and knowing what task is more important for the patient at a particular time. Patient education is also one of the many role’s nurses do to educate patient on what to expect during a procedure, or during recovery, also teachings on complications or adverse effects of a medication. Clinical reasoning and judgement which will promote quality of health through patient centered care that addresses patient specific health care needs. Holman, H. C., Williams, “et al”. (2019).

Problem Orientation and Psychological Distress Among Adolescents: Do Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies Mediate Their Relationship?

Part One
The development of essential attitudes and abilities that help determine a person's susceptibility to psychological discomfort occurs throughout adolescence's formative years. This particular research aimed to investigate the relationship between problem-solving-oriented and cognitive-behavioral techniques for emotion regulation and levels of psychological discomfort (Speyer etal.,2021).
Notably, the issue of violence among adolescents is increasingly recognized as a severe problem in terms of public health. However, little research has investigated the importance of techniques to control cognitive emotion in teenagers, despite the increased interest in psychographic risk factors for violent conduct. The primary focus of this study will be to investigate the frequency of violent behaviors shown by adolescents and to determine the nature of the connection that exists between specific coping mechanisms for regulating cognition and emotion and various manifestations of aggressive behavior. Using confidential, self-reporting questionnaires, the research will conduct a cross-sectional survey of 3,315 students in grades 7 to 10 to investigate methods by which young adolescents may manage their cognitive processes, emotions, and actions connected to violence. The participants will be notified about the survey, but their personal information will not be public under any circumstances since this would violate ethical standards.
The influence of a father on his children might also vary depending on the gender and age of the kid. For boys, parental psychological distress is related to higher internalizing and externalizing issues throughout early adolescence. This finding lends credence to the notion that this stage of development may be especially significant in father-son exchanges. On the other hand, there is a correlation between maternal and paternal psychological discomfort in early infancy and increased levels of internalizing and externalizing difficulties in females (Speyer et al.,2021). Growing up with a father who struggles with mental illness may make girls more reserved, reducing the possibility that they would acquire issues that are manifested outside their bodies. This is one of the possible explanations.
Part Two
The whole of this project shall be guided by the research questions below: (what is the prevalence of adolescent violent behaviors? what is the relationship between specific strategies to regulate cognitive emotion and forms of violent behavior?)
To help operationalize the variables, a logistic regression model will be used to determine the nature of the connection between specific violent actions .

West Chester Private School
Your introduction should be typed here. It should be at least four sentences and include a thesis statement that introduces all the key points of the paper. Please note that you should follow all APA writing rules within your essay. This means avoid first and second person, do not use contractions, and use citations throughout your paper. The final sentence in your introduction must be a strong thesis statement that introduces every key topic that will be introduced in the paper. Remember that a thesis should be one sentence. Here is an example: In the pages to follow, West Chester Private School (WCPS) will be discussed in the context of open systems, organizational culture, the decision to close and the closure process, the impact of technology and innovation on stakeholders, administration closure options, the plans for future direction of WCPS, along with the four functions of management.
External Environment and Open Systems
There are certain ways in which organizations interact with their external environment (as open systems). These ways rely on the Systems Approach to Management Theory, which perceives an organization as an open system that consists of interdependent and interrelated parts interacting as sub-systems (Jackson, 2017). Generally, organizations rely on the exchange of resources and information with their environments. More so, they cannot hold complete control over their behavior and actions, which are significantly impacted by external forces. For example, an organization may be impacted by various environmental conditions such as government regulations, client demands, and raw material availability. As an open system, an organization can interact with the external environment in the context of inputs, transformations, and outputs. Inputs refer to both human and non-human resources like materials, energy, and information. Transformations refer to the conversion of inputs into outputs. For example, a school can transform a student into an educated individual. Finally, outputs refer to what an organization is giving to the environment.
Internal Environment and Organizational Culture
At the time of the closure, the effectiveness of West Chester Private School (WCPS) as an open system was inadequate. One important factor that impacts the effectiveness of an open system is feedback. Feedback refers to the information that an open system receives from the external environment, which can be used to maintain a system at optimal working conditions or a steady state (Jung & Vakharia, 2019). In the case of WCPS, feedback could be received from parents, teachers, and students. At the time of the closure, none of these stakeholders was consulted. Instead, WCPS made a unilateral decision to close down two campuses without considering the input of parents, te.

Toxoplasmosis and Effects on Abortion, And Fetal Abnormalities
Abstract
The placenta is an immune-privileged organ that may tolerate antigen exposure without eliciting a strong inflammatory response that could result in an abortion. After that, the pregnancy can progress normally. Th1 answers, characterized by interferon-, are essential for suppressing intracellular infections. Therefore, the maternal immune system finds a catch-22 when intracellular parasites invade the placenta. The pro-inflammatory response required to eradicate the virus carries the danger of causing an abortion. Toxoplasma is a potent parasite that causes lifetime infections and is a leading cause of abortions in people and animals. This paper speculates that the pregnancy outcome may be affected by the Toxoplasma strain and the effectors of the parasite, both of which can modify the signaling pathways of the host cell.
Introduction
Fetuses infected with the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii can develop a disorder known as toxoplasmosis, sometimes called congenital toxoplasmosis. This disease is transmitted from mother to child in the womb. A miscarriage or a stillbirth might happen as a result. A child with this illness may also have significant and progressively deteriorating difficulties in their vision, hearing, motor skills, cognitive ability, and other areas of development. The parasite Toxoplasma gondii is blamed for many pregnancies ending in miscarriage (Arranz-Solís et al., 2021). Most abortions happen in the first trimester of pregnancy or during the early stages of acute sickness. This research aimed to determine if women who had an abortion were more likely to be infected with toxoplasmosis.
To make matters worse, the toxoplasmosis-causing Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular pathogen that infects nearly every animal species with a thermoregulatory system. Transferring Toxoplasma from one host to another requires the development of tissue cysts that are infectious when ingested. This means the parasite is incentivized to ensure that the host organism lives during the infection. The parasite does this by stimulating an immune response powerful enough to limit parasite reproduction. Toxoplasma, on the other hand, uses a unique set of effectors to evade the immune response and ensure that the parasite population does not decrease to zero.
Results
Type II strains are the most common cause of infection in both animal and human hosts. However, all four clonal lineages of Toxoplasma may be found throughout Europe and North America. It has been established, however, that the bulk of the South American isolates identified is genetically distinct from the strains seen in North America and Europe. Certain sorts of isolates have been labeled as atypical strains. Birth abnormalities apart, type II strains are the most common in Europe and North America, where the great majority of .

(CCH) P11,677
February 6, 1985, Argued and Submitted - Los Angeles, California
September 16, 1985, Decided
PRIOR HISTORY: [**1] Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, D.C.
NO. CV-80-1810-N, Honorable Leland C. Nielsen, District Judge, Presiding.
CASE SUMMARY:
PROCEDURAL POSTURE: Plaintiff professional football player appealed from judgments of the United States
District Court for the Southern District of California entered in favor of defendant union on plaintiff's claim for breach
of the duty of fair representation and in favor of defendant attorneys on plaintiff's legal malpractice claim.
OVERVIEW: Plaintiff football player filed suit against defendant union for breach of the duty of fair representation,
alleging that defendant attorneys, who were staff counsel for defendant union, erroneously advised him to file the wrong
type of grievance and failed to rectify the error when there was an opportunity to do so. Plaintiff also claimed that
defendant attorneys committed malpractice. The trial court entered judgment for defendants. On appeal, the court
affirmed. The court found that defendant union did not act in an arbitrary, discriminatory, or bad faith manner and held
that mere negligence or an error in judgment was insufficient to impose liability for breach of the duty of fair
representation. The court affirmed the directed verdict in favor of defendant first attorney because a union attorney may
not be held liable in malpractice to an individual union member for acts performed as the union's agent in the collective
bargaining process. The court affirmed the summary judgment entered in favor of defendant second attorney. The trial
court lacked personal jurisdiction over him because his only contact with the forum state were phone calls and letters.
OUTCOME: The court affirmed the judgment in favor of defendant union because it did not breach its duty of fair
representation. The court affirmed the directed verdict in favor of defendant first attorney because he was not liable in
malpractice to plaintiff football player for acts he performed as the union's agent. The court affi.

1. When drug prices increase at a faster rate than inflation, the .docxrobert345678
1. When drug prices increase at a faster rate than inflation, the groups of people that bear the burden of this increase are taxpayers and Medicare beneficiaries. Taxpayers are paying higher taxes as a result of increased government spending, and Medicare beneficiaries cannot keep up with the price of their prescriptions. When it comes to the factors in making a decision about increasing drug prices, I believe Big Pharma companies should act in a socially responsible manner, meaning they should base their decisions not solely on profit, and not solely on healthcare. There should be a balance, and new policies would be beneficial to help maintain that balance.
2. Lower-level employees have the responsibility to provide accurate information to management so that they can make the most informed decision. Lower-level employees also have the responsibility to not purposefully make material mistakes or purposefully not correct a known mistake.
3. Increased government spending will increase taxes for taxpayers and decrease available spending for other worthy issues. Taxpayers will essentially pay more in taxes and therefore have less income available. With drug prices rising faster than inflation, this will cause a widening gap between annual income and costs. Also, private health insurance costs will increase premiums and out of pocket costs for members. The stakeholders most directly impacted are the senior citizens that are dependent on their medication and can’t afford it or any other out of pocket costs because of the already wide gap between their income and expenses. I believe the government itself can be seen as a stakeholder as well because as they continue to increase Medicare funding, their deficit increases, causing them to take action to allocate resources effectively.
4. If the increase in price of existing drugs is preventing those who need those drugs from obtaining them, then to me it is hard to justify the increase based on R&D. There will always be a trade-off between affordable drugs and how quickly we can get new drugs. The government must devise a policy that improves Big Pharma companies’ incentive for affordability
and innovation.
5. Explain what you think each of the following statements means in the context of moral development.
. How far are you willing to go to do the right thing?
1. Stage 6 of moral development is about universal “self-chosen” ethical principles. This stage is about following your conscience even if it violates the law. In thinking of moral development, as time passes, one’s level of ethical reasoning advances and some issues may spark moral outrage that force a response.
. How much are you willing to give up to do what you believe is right?
1. This statement relates to moral development and how sometimes doing the right thing can have negative consequences. For example, an employee may notice a purposeful mistake by a manager. Let’s assume the employee is certain they will receiv.

Stress and Behavioral Factors That Inhibit Work and Home Satisfaction

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore stress and behavioral factors that impact work and life satisfaction among employees from diverse workforces. In this study, the goal is to identify stressors or behavioral factors through a survey to help find an intervention that can increase work-life satisfaction and job performance. The results help employers know which factors prevent employees from achieving home satisfaction in activities outside of work so that they improve work and life satisfaction for their employees. This also helps employees find a balance so they can do a better job at work and complete satisfying tasks at home.
Stress and Behavioral Factors That Inhibit Work and Home Satisfaction
For many employees, it can be tough to maintain a healthy balance between their work life and home life. The easiest way to discover a common factor that most employees may face is by conducting a quick survey about their difficulties at both locations. To create a work-life balance, interventions can be o.

2. What were your thoughts and observations as you created your own balance sheet?
3. How might the balance sheet help you in future financial planning?
4. How close to reality do you think your estimated personal cash flow statement will be if you track your actual income and expenses for a month?
1. It gave me the desire to track my finances more closely and objectively. I liked how we can determine our net worth through some simple calculations and our inflows and outflows per month. Generally, I rely on simple finance apps like
Mint to track my finances. Currently, I do not create monthly budgets, but I now believe such action could be helpful.
2. I know that I have more assets than I am counting in the excel sheet. Therefore, my net worth is potentially higher. I also have a variety of streaming platforms.
I would benefit from switching from one platform to another month by month to save money. Streaming platforms are not a significant expense. Currently, my most considerable expense is transportation. Since gas prices are falling, this will help increase my surplus.
3. Accounting is math: it either works or doesn’t. Each can be traced from its inception (a sale, an expense, a money transfer) to the line on the financial statement. Since I don’t have much experience with financials, I try to seek out a mentor who is a family member. A balance sheet will ensure that I am not spending foolishly and ensure I am making appropriate purchases within the limits I set for myself. Proper planning will ensure I maximize my net worth.
4. It is important to consider cash flow when planning for the future
. It is important to save money every month in order to be able to make better financial decisions in the future. I hope to use some investing approaches for beginners to purchase funds without getting into debt. Most people underestimate how much they truly spend in a month. Therefore, I am underestimating how much I spend as well. I eat out quite a bit with friends and family, so my restaurant bill for the holidays might be higher than anticipated.

The Biography of Langston Hughes
THE BIOGRAPHY OF LANGSTON HUGHES
2
On February 1, 1901, James Mercer Langston Hughes was born. He was born in
Joplin, Missouri, to James and Caroline Hughes, into a family of enslaved people and
enslavers (Leach, 2004). His father departed from the family, later divorcing their family,
forcing Langston's mother to move to Lawrence, Kansas, with his maternal grandmother. It
was from the latter that Langston learned about African American traditions, installing an
enormous sense of pride into the young man (Hughes et al., 2001). This greatly influenced his
writing, as evidenced by poems such as Mother to Son. He would then go on to join
Columbia University to study engineering, where he would write poetry for the Columbia
Daily Spectator. As a result of racial discrimination, he finally left the school and resided in
Harlem, where he was engulfed by the vibrant feeling of life (Leach, 2004).
Langston began cruising as a crewman aboard the S.S. Malone in 1923, after doing a
few odd jobs. He subsequently took his first white-collar job as Carter G. Woodson's assistant
at the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, a historian. He'd then
leave his work since it didn't enable him to write. He would later work as a busboy. He got
his big writing break when he met Vachel Lindsay, a famous poet of the time, with whom
Langston shared his poetry (Leach, 2004). Lindsay was heavily impressed and helped
Langston reach the big stage. Langston then went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from
Lincoln University.
Langston began his literary career in 1921 by publishing The Crisis in the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People magazine (Leach, 2004). The poem
Mother to Son was in this book and would go on to get much acclaim. He would go on to
release The Weary Blues along with other novels, short stories, and poems (Hughes et al.,
2001). He participated heavily in the Harlem Renaissance. Langston would pass away on
May 22, 1967, from surgery complications while being treated for prostate cancer.

Well, son, I’ll tell you:
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
It’s had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I’se been a-climbin’ on,
And reachin’ landin’s,
And turnin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark
Where there ain’t been no light.
So boy, don’t you turn back.
Don’t you set down on the steps
’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.
Don’t you fall now—
For I’se still goin’, honey,
I’se still climbin’,
And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.

Executive Summary
The proposed event, titled “Save Our Doughmocracy: A Moophoric Voter Registration
and Ice Cream Social Event” is intended to support the voter registration movement for the 2020
election. Since this event has already happened, the proposal is written theoretically as though
the event date has not yet passed, or in the future tense of what “will” occur. The event will be
hosted by the ice cream brand Ben & Jerry’s on behalf of the Democratic National Committee. It
will serve as an opportunity for attendees to register to vote, connect with Democratic candidates
for the upcoming election, and exclusively sample a new flavor of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream that
is being created specifically for the event. Ben & Jerry’s is an extremely popular brand, loved for
its specialty ice cream and involvement in important social causes. The brand uses its platform to
advocate for numerous movements that its founders and employees support. The goal of this
event is to reestablish election integrity and uphold the values that comprise democracy. Many
people are discriminated against by outdated and unlawful voter registration laws, making it
extremely difficult for certain groups to vote or discouraging them from doing so altogether. The
proposed event aims to aid these groups in their voter registration process in a relaxed, helpful,
and fun way.
Similar events include political candidate rallies, voter registration events, and ice cream
or dessert experiential events. Although these types of events have some overlap with “Save Our
Doughmocracy,” none of them are exactly the same in the way that we combine all of these
events into one, which gives us a competitive advantage. Marketing strategies and promotions
will emphasize this key differentiator to attract people to our event over others. The event’s
strengths include customer loyalty to Ben & Jerry’s, a centralized event location, appeal through
its exclusivity, and a well-established platform for promotion, while weaknesses include
potential controversy due to the Democratic National Committee’s involvement and competing
Ben & Jerry’s locations. The key opportu.

the maintenance centers of the concerned vehicle agencies. Workmanship defects are
classified as: (1) Basic defects, which are considered to have a serious and direct impact
on the safety of the vehicle and its users, and the inspection process cannot be passed
until after the defect is fixed. (2) Warning defects, which are considered a defect in the
product, but the effect of the defect does not threaten the safety of the vehicle and its
users pass the examination process and the defect is added as a warning only.
This research proposal aims to find the most effective way to reach every defected
vehicle and the effective way to deal with the vehicle owner to do the necessary changes
especially if it's related to safety in a systematic way. The purpose of the project is to
develop a new business model that was never used everywhere in the world and Saudi
Arabia will take the lead to publish this model to the rest of the world. Ensuring that the
practice will be used is the most effective practise as enabling to force the defected car
owner to have their vehicles fixed and the defected was solved.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT2
Introverts, extroverts, sensors, intuitive
3. Personality Assessment
Part 1: Jung and Briggs Myers personality results analysis
My personality test based on Jung and Briggs Myers
typology indicated that I have an INTJ (introverted (38
percent), Intuitive (19 percent), thinking (6 percent), and
judging (25 percent) type of personality. My results indicate
that I have a moderate preference for introversion over
extroversion. I have a slight preference for intuition over
sensing, a slight preference for thinking over feeling, and a mild
preference for judging over perceiving. As INTJ, my primary
mode of living is known to be focused intrinsically; I take
things and decisions based on my intuition. My secondary way
of living is external, where I deal with situations rationally and
logically. INTJ is known as masterminds; they live in a world of
ideas and plan strategically rather than following their
emotions. I value competence, intelligence, and knowledge as
an INTJ person, and I have similar expectations to other people
I work with currently and in the past. Since I am more of an
introvert, I channel my energy into observing the world to
generate potential ideas and possibilities which may turn out to
be innovative. According to David Keirsey, a psychologist, and
developer of the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, nearly 1 to 4
percent of the world's population has an INTJ personality type.
Keirsey's four temperaments are better known as their
subdivided sixteen kinds of personalities. The four-character
types, according to Keirsey. The sixteen personality types
include guardians, Artisans, Rationales, and Idealists; there are
four personality types (Daniel, 2017).
I-introverted
Because I am more introverted at 38 percent, I am less
likely to interact with others and share my ideas. I spend much
4. of my time on my mind thinking about new ideas and how to
plan strategically. As a result, I usually have little interest in
the thoughts and feelings of other people.
Therefore, other people will perceive me as a reserved person
who is often isolated and less likely to share ideas. However, I
am open to welcoming ideas from other people that I perceive
as critical and logical since my primary focus as an INTJ person
is to uncover innovations. As an introvert, I prefer working by
myself ad strongly prefer solo work to group work. People find
it hard to know me because I see little value in social events
such as partying and small talk and thus making it difficult for
people to get to know me. As a result, I have reserved
interaction with a small circle of friends and family members.
A person with INTJ personality traits tends to have
difficulty establishing intimate solid relationships. I find it hard
to show affection to other people. I do not feel the need to
express appreciation to other people. People in a romantic
relationship with an INTJ person may feel as they are not loved
due to the type rarely showing respect. They are less likely to
give positive support and praise as other partners desire, which
I know significantly demonstrates in my personality (Daniel,
2017). I do not find it necessary to keep praising my partner,
and I rarely use words of affirmation to other people, which
makes them think that I am not romantic. In terms of career, I
have great interest and passion in pursuing what I live to
become more skilled and knowledgeable in my field of study. I
have high expectations, and I see it as my responsibility to
become the better version of myself.
I -Intuitive
Based on the personality test, my score for intuition was
19 percent. As an intuitive person, I slightly prefer intuition
over sensing. I tend to rely on imagination on the potential
outcomes rather than sense. I am more focused on tangible facts
and more specific results. I tend to discuss and assess different
views and options of what the world would look like in the
future. I am interested in the future rather than the current
5. moment. For example, I would like to think of where I will be
in five years and how that will influence my personal and
professional growth. In addition, I tend to exercise my
imagination to seek new ideas and possibilities.
T-thinking
I have a slight preference for thinking over feeling.
According to Keirsey's four temperaments, my INTJ personality
falls under the rational category as a mastermind. Masterminds
are planners, self-confident, systematic, utilitarian, willful, and
ingenious (Keirsey, n.d). Under planning, they understand the
logical outcomes of each move, and their decisions do not
influence by the current situation but the consequences of the
action. They quickly understand how a particular decision
affects the next step. They foresee what will be the outcome of
the present action. In addition, masterminds are self-confident
and thus quickly make decisions because they believe in their
intuitions and knowledge. When it comes to making decisions, I
rarely waste time because I am self-confident that I am making
the right decision. I have unparalleled certainty of my ability to
overcome barriers and achieve excellent outcomes.
Furthermore, INTJ's personality confronts challenges head-on
and acts as a stimulant for the mastermind to dig deep to
uncover innovations. INTJ personality follows a systematic
approach to a problem. In addition, a mastermind believes that
every situation exists for a reason, and thus every issue must
have a solution. They are interested in using ideas and their
utility in reality, not merely concerned about the pictures.
NTS value knowledge and competence over everything
else and seek to make sense of the world around them so that
they can help improve it. However, they are not generally
interested in taking care of details but instead are focused on
seeing the big picture, discovering ideas, and recognizing
patterns. Other people may find a person with an INTJ
personality as a rigid person because they are committed to
implementing their ideas. Other people may find it hard to
understand a person with an INTJ personality.
6. J- Judgment
From the personality test, I score 25 percent in
judgment. This score implies that I prefer judging over
perceiving. For example, I like gathering information from the
external world and analyzing it to gather new insights to make
informed judgments rather than perceiving a situation.
Part 2: Relationship of various personality types at work
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a practical
framework that shows how different personality types work
together. A workplace cannot be effective with too many people
sharing the same personality. The workplace will not be
effective because there are too many of the same character
traits, and they do not benefit from different input from people
with other character traits. For example, INTJ people are all
rational masterminds and not input from a person with ISTP
personality traits. An organization with an accurate mixture of
different personalities will perform better if it has idealists,
rationalists, guardians, and artisans. All these personality types
interact to bring out the best results. For example, ENFP
personality types are regarded as imaginative motivators, while
ENSTJ personality types are considered efficient organizers
(Thompson, 2022). As a result, a company needs efficient
organizers and creative motivators to perform to its full
potential. If an organization only has employees with ESTJ
personality type, it will have a workforce full of efficient
organizers.
However, unfortunately, it will be missing employees with
ENFP personality types who are imaginative motivators.
Different personality types bring various talents and ensure the
team generates a broad spread of ideas and solutions. However,
with team members having diverse personality traits can be hard
to synchronize the differences into something that can work for
the better of the company. However, it is not impossible if all
team members respect the boundaries of others. For example, if
a person is an introvert and prefers email, approaching their
workstations may make them uncomfortable (Kroeger, Thuesen
7. & Rutledge, 2009). It is also imperative to come to people with
different personalities in different ways. For example, guardian
types prefer facts and patience. Therefore, it is essential to
approach the points and have plenty of time for them to make
decisions.
Based on the personality test results, I have learned the
impacts that my personality type, both positive and negative,
can have on an organization. One of the traits I have a person
with an INTJ personality type is that I can easily make a
decision because I can project the future outcomes, and thus, I
am confident with the decision I make. I can predict how the
future will unfold, and therefore, I can make strategic decisions
for an organization that will place the company in a better
position. As a mastermind, I am driven to achieve the result and
always watch the long-term consequences of a given action.
Therefore, I am now better positioned to avoid decisions that
may have adverse outcomes for an organization. INTJs are
about strategy, and organizations are about strategic planning.
As an INTJ, one of my biggest strengths is strategy. I approach
situations in terms of problem-solving by looking at the bigger
picture and the outcome of a given case. Businesses miss out
because of a lack of visionary leaders who can strategize
effectively (Kroeger, Thuesen & Rutledge, 2009). In addition,
as an INTJ, I am independent and have self-confidence about
myself. Self-confidence helps a leader take more bold moves
that can take the organization far ahead. However, one of the
weaknesses of INTJs is that they like working in solitary; this
can be a disadvantage, especially for projects that require
teamwork. I prefer working on projects alone. However, it can
be hard when I am supposed to team with other employees to
complete a task.

Abstract
Begin your abstract at the left margin. This is the only
paragraph that should not be indented.
Unless otherwise instructed, APA recommends an abstract be no
16. more than 250 words. It should
generally not contain any citations or direct quotes. This should
be a tight, concise summary of
the main points in your paper, not a step-by-step of what you
plan to accomplish in your paper.
Avoid phrases such as “this paper will,” and just structure your
sentences to say what you want
to say. The following three sentences exemplify a good abstract
style: There are many
similarities and differences between the codes of ethics for the
ACA and the AACC. Both include
similar mandates in the areas of ----, ---, and ---. However, each
differs significantly in the areas
of ---, ---, and ---. For more detailed information, see “Writing
an Abstract” at
https://www.liberty.edu/casas/academic-success-center/wp-
content/uploads/sites/28/2019/04/
Writing_an_Abstract_Revised_2012.pdf (note that you would
not include any links in your
abstract). This is just now at 168 words, so eyeball how brief
your abstract must be. Think of
your paper as a movie you want to sound enticing, and the
abstract as the summary of the plot
you would share to draw people’s interest into wanting to come
17. and see your movie. You want to
really hook and intrigue them. What you have to say is
important! Remember to stay under 250,
words. Keywords highlight the search terms someone would use
to find your paper in a database.

SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 6
Sample APA Paper: Professional Format for Graduate/Doctoral
Students
The title of your paper goes on the top line of the first page of
the body (American
Psychological Association [APA], 2019, section 2.11). It should
be centered, bolded, and in title
case (all major words—usually those with four+ letters—should
begin with a capital letter)—see
p. 51 of your Publication Manual of the American Psychological
18. Association: Seventh Edition
(APA, 2019; hereinafter APA-7). It must match the title that is
on your title page (see last line on
p. 32). As shown in the previous sentence, use brackets to
denote an abbreviation within
parentheses (bottom of p. 159). Write out the full name of an
entity or term the first time
mentioned before using its acronym (see citation in first
sentence in this paragraph), and then use
the acronym throughout the body of the paper (section 6.25).
There are many changes in APA-7. One to mention here is that
APA-7 allows writers to
include subheadings within the introductory section (APA,
2019, p. 47). Since APA-7 now
regards the title, abstract, and term “References” to all be
Level-1 headings, a writer who opts to
include headings in his or her introduction must begin with
Level-2 headings as shown above
(see section 2.27) for any divisions within the introductory
section.
If you do choose to include headings in your introduction
section (which is optional), be
sure to include two or more subheadings, since APA (2019)
forbids stand-alone heading levels.
19. A second notable change in APA-7 is that writers are no longer
required to cite their source every
single sentence that content from it is mentioned (section 8.1).
As demonstrated in this paper,
since all of the content (other than the examples included for
illustration and reference-entry
variation purposes) comes directly from the APA-7 itself,
citations to the APA-7 are only
included for the first instance in each paragraph. Section and/or
page numbers are included
parenthetically throughout for the sake of students who desire to
know exactly where the stated
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 7
rule appears in the APA-7 itself. In your academic papers,
however, it is critical to include the
required author(s) and year, as applicable, for all citations that
are included; this may include
more than one citation for each resource per paragraph, as
required to avoid any confusion about
the source of that content.
20. Basic Rules of Scholarly Writing
Most beginning students have difficulty learning how to write
papers and also format
papers correctly using the seventh edition of the APA manual.
However, the Liberty University
Online Writing Center’s (OWC) mission includes helping
students learn how to be autonomous,
proficient writers. The OWC also provides students with
templates to help them with basic
formatting elements, but this sample paper is designed to help
graduate and doctoral students
learn to master APA rules and formatting on their own, which
will prove helpful as they progress
in their studies and work toward future publication in scholarly
journals.
For the purpose of instruction, this paper will use second person
(you, your), but third
person (this author) must be used in most student papers. First
person (I, me, we, us, our) is not
generally permitted in academic papers. Students should refrain
from using first or second person
in college courses (even though the APA manual encourages
this in other writing venues) unless
21. the assignment instructions clearly permit such (as in the case
of personal reflection sections or
life histories). If in doubt, students should clarify with their
professors.
APA-7 delineates separate rules and guidelines between
“student” and “professional”
writers (APA, 2019). Because a primary purpose of graduate
and doctoral studies is to prepare
those students to publish professionally, Liberty University has
decided to have undergraduate
students follow APA-7’s guidelines for “student papers,” and
graduate/doctoral students follow
APA-7’s guidelines for “professional papers.” Separate
templates are available for each level.
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 8
This sample paper illustrates and discusses the rules and
formatting of professional papers, as
required for all Liberty University graduate and doctoral
courses using APA-7 style.
Brief Summary of Changes in APA-7
22. Most of these changes will be discussed in more detail below;
this is just a very brief
overview here. APA-7 reverts back to only one space after
closing punctuation in the body of the
paper (APA-6 required two spaces; APA, 2019, section 6.1).
Student (undergraduate) papers no
longer include a running head or abstract (sections 2.2 and 2.8);
professional (graduate/doctoral)
papers require an abstract but the running head is now the same
on all pages (the added phrase
“Running head:” from APA-6 has been eliminated; see section
2.8). Title pages are different for
both student and professional formats. The title of a paper is no
longer limited to 12 words
(section 2.4).
Citations of all resources with three or more authors now use
the first author’s last name
and the term et al. (APA, 2019, section 8.17). Reference entries
must name up to the first 19
authors before adding an ampersand and ellipsis (up from APA-
6’s six authors; section 9.8).
APA-7 omits the phrase DOI and instead standardizes DOIs to
be presented in hyperlink format
(i.e., https://doi.org/10.1177%2F1524838017742386; section
23. 9.35). Formatting guidelines for
annotated bibliographies are included in APA-7 (section 9.51),
as well as expanded and
standardized reference entry examples. As discussed above, it is
no longer necessary to cite a
source every single time you refer to content gleaned from it as
long as it is clear the content
comes from that source (section 8.1); APA-7 also expanded the
specific location noted in the
citation to include page, paragraph, section (as used throughout
this sample paper, to direct the
student to the exact relevant content), chapter, timestamp, etc.
(section 8.13).
APA-7 allows for “self-plagiarism” (clarified and defined
below). It also invites writers to
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 9
highlight the most relevant work first, rather than just present
all works in alphabetical order
(APA, 2019, section 8.12).
Heading-level formatting has changed, and APA-7 provides
24. more flexibility in font and
line spacing (APA, 2019). The Bible must now be included in
the reference list and its citations
must include the editor’s details and year (section 8.28); there
are also new rules for dictionary
entries. Publisher city and state details are omitted from all
reference entries except those
involving presentations or conferences, as is the phrase
“retrieved from.” Hyperlinks should be
live, but they may be either presented as blue underlining or
plain black text.
Running Head, Author Note, and Abstract
APA (2019) delineates separate formatting requirements for
what it terms “student” and
“professional” papers. Its descriptions for those labels,
however, suggests that it regards
undergraduate-level writing to fall within the student purview,
and graduate/doctoral-level
writing (including dissertations and theses) to fall within the
professional purview. Since a
significant goal in graduate and post-graduate studies is
preparing those students to publish in
scholarly journals at and beyond graduation, it makes sense to
train those students in the
25. formatting that is required for professionals. As such, Liberty
University has opted to require the
APA-7’s “student” version format for all undergraduate
assignments using APA, and its
“professional” version for all graduate and doctoral
assignments. To that end, this being the
sample paper for professional formatting, it includes the
additional elements required for such: a
running head (same on all pages), an author’s note, and an
abstract. Graduate and doctoral
students will use this format. Note that the first “paragraph”
under the author’s note is generally
only included if the author has an ORCID number, which most
students will not have. However,
it is included in this sample paper and the corresponding
template because the purpose of these
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 10
resources is to prepare students to publish manuscripts post-
graduation. The student’s full
address, however, is intentionally omitted from the Liberty
26. University template and this sample
paper for privacy and safety reasons, since student papers are
often unfortunately published
online and disclosing their home addresses could pose safety
risks.
Basic Formatting Elements
Font
APA-7 does not prescribe a specific font or size (APA, 2019,
section 2.19) but rather
allows for some choice (e.g., 12-point Times New Romans, 11-
point Calibri, 11-point Arial, 11-
point Georgia, or 10-point Lucinda Sans Unicode). Most
journals and academic institutions will
have a preference, however, as even APA-7 acknowledges on p.
44. For this reason—and
because font size can easily be changed if an editor interested in
publishing a student’s work
prefers a different font—Liberty University recommends that
students use 12-point Times New
Romans or 11-point Calibri font for the body text in all
academic papers. Data in charts, figures,
and tables should be presented in 8- to 14-point size in either
Calibri, Arial, or Lucinda Sans
27. Unicode font. Students are not permitted to use any fonts such
as script, calligraphy, poster,
decorative, or others not found in published scholarly journals.
Since APA-7 itself authorizes a
variety of fonts and sizes, assignments will be gauged by word
count rather than page count.
Word count constitutes the number of words within the body of
the paper, and excludes the title
page, abstract, reference list, appendices, and other
supplemental resources.
Line Spacing
APA-7 adds extra/blank lines on the title page (APA, 2019,
sections 2.5, 2.7, 2.21). It also
specifies that spacing in tables and figures may be single-, 1-
1/2-, or double-spaced; equations
can be triple- or quadruple-spaced. Footnotes, when used at the
bottom of a page, should be
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 11
single-spaced (section 2.21).
Spaces After Punctuation
28. APA-7 reverts back to just one space after closing punctuation
in the body of the paper, as
well as in reference entries (APA, 2019, section 6.1).
Ordinarily, it would be improper to have a
paragraph with only one sentence, though APA itself asserts
that for its purposes “sentences and
paragraphs of any length are technically allowed.”1
Footnotes
This leads to another new rule in APA-7, one allowing the
inclusion of footnotes (APA,
2019, section 2.13). Footnotes should be use very sparingly and
are appropriate to include
information such as that in the prior section to alert the reader
to supplemental material that is
available online for that thought. Though APA-7 authorizes
placement of footnote content either
at the bottom of the page (as in this sample paper) or on a
separate page after the reference list
(section 2.21), Liberty University recommends that student
place them, when used, at the bottom
of the page, as shown here.
Heading Levels—Level 1
29. This sample paper uses primarily two levels of headings (Levels
1 and 2). APA style,
however, has five heading levels, which will be demonstrated
briefly for visual purposes. See
section 2.27 of your APA-7 (APA, 2019) for more details on
heading levels and formatting. In
APA-7, all heading levels are now bolded and in title case
(capitalize each major word—usually
those with four or more letters, including hyphenated compound
words). Do not capitalize
articles (a, an, the) in headings unless they begin a title or
follow a colon. Level 1 headings are
centered, with the content falling on the line beneath each, in
standard paragraph format.

https://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2016/05/index.html
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 12
Many students misunderstand that you progress from Level 1 to
Level 2 to Level 3 to
Level 4 to Level 5, but that is not correct. In fact, your paper
30. may have only Level 1 headings, or
just Levels 1 and 2. The rule of thumb is that you must have at
least two of each heading level
that you use, otherwise omit that heading level.
Headings are basically styling ways of organizing your paper,
without using an outline
format. APA specifies five levels of headings; you would likely
never use Level 5 and only very
rarely use Level 4 as a student. Think of each level as the
different levels in an outline. Roman
numerals, for example, would be Level 1 headings. Capital
letters would be Level 2 headings.
Numerals would be Level 3 headings. Lowercase letters would
be Level 4. And lowercase
Roman numerals would be Level 5. You must always have two
or more of each subheading, but
you do not need every level. You start with Level 1 and work
down from that (but not
consecutive 1-2-3-4-5). Under a Level 1, you would either have
two+ Level 2 headings or none
at all (just one big section in paragraphs before the next Level 1
section).
Special note about conclusion sections: Please note that some of
the sample papers
31. published by APA to demonstrate proper APA-7 format
(including the “professional” sample on
pp. 50-60 of the APA-7 manual) depict the “Conclusion” section
with a Level-2 heading. This is
limited to empirical papers that are being submitted for
publication in scholarly journals, as those
conclusions pertain to the “Discussion” sections in such papers
and are not conclusions of the
overall papers themselves. Conclusions in academic papers at
Liberty University will be Level 1
headings (including dissertations and theses, which are divided
by chapters, unlike journal article
manuscripts).
Level 2 Heading
Level 2 headings are left-justified (APA, 2019, p. 48). The
supporting information is
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 13
posed in standard paragraph form beneath it. Never use only one
of any level of heading. You
32. must use two or more of any level you use, though not every
paper will require more than one
level. The heading levels are simply demonstrated here for
visual purposes, but you would
always have two or more of each under a larger heading, as
shown throughout all the other
sections of this sample paper.
Level 3 Heading
Level 3 headings are bolded, left-justified, and italicized; the
content falls on the line
underneath, as with Levels 1 and 2.
Level 4 Heading. Must be bolded and indented ½”. Add a
period, one space, and begin
your content on the same line as shown here.
Level 5 Heading. Same as Level 4, but also italicized. Despite
heavy writing experience,
this author has never used Level 5 headings.
Specific Elements of Academic Papers
Tables of Contents and Outlines
APA (2019) does not regulate every type of paper and some
elements in various
assignments are not addressed in the APA-7 manual, including
33. outlines and tables of content. In
those cases, follow your professor’s instructions and the grading
rubric for the content and
format of the outline or annotations, and use standard APA
formatting for all other elements
(such as running head, title page, body, reference list, 1"
margins, double-spacing, permitted
font, etc.). Note that most academic papers will not require a
table of contents, nor would one be
appropriate. One was included in this paper simply for ease-of-
access so students could go
directly to the content they want to see. Generally speaking, no
table of contents would be
necessary for papers less than 20 pages of content, unless
otherwise required by your professor.
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 14
That being said, when organizing outlines in APA format, set
your headings up in the
proper levels (making sure there are at least two subheadings
under each level), and then use
34. those to make the entries in the outline. As discussed above,
Level 1 headings become uppercase
Roman numerals (I, II, III), Level 2 headings become capital
letters (A, B, C), Level 3 headings
become numbers (1, 2, 3), Level 4 headings become lowercase
letters (a, b, c), and Level 5
headings become lowercase Roman numerals (i, ii, iii). Many
courses now require “working
outlines,” which are designed to have the bones and
foundational framework of the paper in
place (such as title page, abstract, body with title,
outline/heading divisions, supporting content
with citations, and references), without the full “meat” that fills
out and forms a completed paper.
Annotated Bibliographies
Many Liberty University courses also now require students to
prepare and submit an
annotated bibliography as a foundational step to building a
research paper. There is significant
merit in these assignments, as they teach students to critique the
resources they have found and
rationalize why each is relevant for their paper’s focus. APA
(2019) includes a section on
annotated bibliographies (9.51; see the example provided on p.
35. 308). The appendix attached to
this sample paper also includes a sample annotated
bibliography.
Appendices
Appendices, if any, are attached after the reference list (APA,
2019, section 2.14). You
must refer to them (i.e., “callout”) in the body of your paper so
that your reader knows to look
there (see the yellow-highlighted callouts to Table 1 on p. 54
and to Footnote 1 on p. 55 of your
APA-7 for visuals on how this should appear in your paper).
The word “Appendix” is singular;
use it to refer to individual appendices. APA-7 regards it as a
Level 1 heading so it should be
bolded. I attached a sample Annotated Bibliography as a visual
aid (see Appendix). You will see
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 15
that I included the title “Appendix” at the top of the page and
formatted it in standard APA
format beneath that. Because I only included one appendix, it is
36. simply titled as such. If there are
more appendices, assign a letter to each and denote each by
that: “Appendix A” and “Appendix
B.”
Crediting Your Sources
Paraphrasing and Direct Quotes
Paraphrasing is rephrasing another’s idea in one’s own words by
changing the wording
sufficiently without altering the meaning (remember not to just
change a word here or there or
rearrange the order of the original source’s wording). Quoting is
using another’s exact words.
Both need to be cited; failure to do so constitutes plagiarism.
Include the author(s) and year for
paraphrases, and the author(s), year, and page or paragraph
number for direct quotes. APA-7 also
expands this to include figure number, time stamp, etc.—
whatever detail is necessary to get the
reader directly to that content. Page numbers should be used for
any printed material (books,
articles, etc.), and paragraph numbers should be used in the
absence of page numbers (online
articles, webpages, etc.; see APA, 2019, section 8.13). Use p.
37. for one page and pp. (not italicized
in your paper) for more than one (section 8.25). Use para. for
one paragraph and paras. (also not
italicized in your paper) for two or more (section 8.28). For
example: (Perigogn & Brazel, 2012,
pp. 12–13) or (Liberty University, 2019, para. 8). Section 8.23
of the APA (2019) manual
specifies that it is not necessary to include a page or paragraph
number for paraphrases (just for
direct quotes), but writers may choose to do so to help their
readers find that content in the cited
resource.
When naming authors in the text of the sentence itself (called a
narrative citation), use the
word “and” to connect them. For example, Perigogn and Brazel
(2012) contemplated that . . .
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 16
Use an ampersand (&) in place of the word “and” in
parenthetical citations and reference lists:
(Perigogn & Brazel, 2012).
38. Paraphrasing
Only use quotes when the original text cannot be said as well in
your own words or
changing the original wording would change the author’s
meaning. You cannot simply change
one word and omit a second; if you paraphrase, the wording
must be substantially different, but
with the same meaning. Regardless, you would need to cite the
resource you took that
information from. For example, Benoit et al. (2010) wrote that
“although, a link between
attachment and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms
has been established, the
mechanisms involved in this link have not yet been identified”
(p. 101). A paraphrase for that
quote might be: A link between dysfunctional attachment and
the development of PTSD has
been made, though there is insufficient data to determine
exactly how this mechanism works
(Benoit et al., 2010).
Block Quotes
Quotes that are 40 or more words must be blocked, with the left
margin of the entire
39. quote indented ½ inch. Maintain double-spacing of block
quotes. APA prefers that you introduce
quotes but note that the punctuation falls at the end of the direct
quote, with the page number
outside of that (which is contrary to punctuation for non-
blocked quotes). For example, Alone
(2008) claims:2
Half of a peanut butter sandwich contains as much bacteria as
the wisp of the planet
Mars. Thus, practicality requires that Mrs. Spotiker nibble one
bit at a time until she is
assured that she will not perish from ingesting it too quickly.
(p. 13)
2 Note that there are no quotation marks for block quotes, as
shown in the example.
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 17
Usually quotes within quotes use single quotation marks;
however, use double quotation marks
for quotes within blocked quotes, since there are no other
40. quotation marks involved. Also
understand that direct quotes should be used sparingly in
scholarly writing; paraphrasing is much
preferred in APA format (APA, 2019, section 8.23), as it
demonstrates that you read, understood,
and assimilated other writers’ content into one cohesive whole.
How Often to Cite Your Source in Each Paragraph
As already mentioned above, APA’s (2019) new official rule is
that you no longer must
cite your source every single time you refer to material you
gleaned from it (section 8.1). It is
now acceptable to cite your source the first time you refer to
content from it in your paragraph,
and then not again in that same paragraph unless your phrasing
does not make the source of your
content clear. This is demonstrated throughout this sample
paper.
Rule for Omitting the Year of Publication
That being said, APA (2019) has clarified its special rule that
excludes the year of
publication in subsequent narrative in-text citations (when you
name the authors in the text of the
sentence itself), after the first narrative citation in each
41. paragraph. It should continue to appear in
all parenthetical citations (see section 8.16). For example,
Alone (2008) portrays imagery of Mrs.
Spotiker. This includes her devouring a peanut butter sandwich
(Alone, 2008). Alone conveys
this through the lens of astronomy. Note that the year of
publication was omitted from the second
narrative citation (underlined for visual purposes).
Arranging the Order of Resources in Your Citations
If the material you cited was referred to in multiple resources,
separate different sets of
authors with semicolons, arranged in the order they appear
(alphabetically by the first author’s
last name) in the reference list (i.e., Carlisle, n.d.-a; Prayer,
2015) (APA, 2019, section 8.12).
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 18
APA-7 now invites writers to prioritize or highlight one or more
sources as most prominent or
relevant for that content by placing “those citations first within
parentheses in alphabetical order
42. and then insert[ing] a semicolon and a phrase, such as ‘see
also,’ before the first of the remaining
citations” (APA., 2019, p. 263)—i.e., (Cable, 2013; see also
Avramova, 2019; De Vries et al.,
2013; Fried & Polyakova, 2018). Periods are placed after the
closing parenthesis, except with
indented (blocked) quotes.
Two Works by the Same Author in the Same Year
Authors with more than one work published in the same year are
distinguished by lower-
case letters after the years, beginning with a (APA, 2019,
section 8.19). For example, Double
(2008a) and Double (2008b) would refer to resources by the
same author published in 2008.
When a resource has no date, use the term n.d. followed by a
dash and the lowercase letter (i.e.,
Carlisle, n.d.-a and Carlisle, n.d.-b; see APA, 2019, section
8.19).
Two Works by Two Different Authors with the Same Last Name
Citations in the body of the paper should include only the last
names, unless you have
two or more resources authored by individuals with the same
last name in the same year (or are
43. citing a personal communication). When there are two different
authors with the same last name
but different first names who published in the same year,
include the first initials: Brown, J.
(2009) and Brown, M. (2009) (APA, 2019, section 8.20).
Three or More Authors Cited In-Text
When referring to material that comes from three or more
authors, APA-7 now requires
that all citations name just the first author’s last name followed
by the words et al. (without
italics) (APA, 2019, section 8.17). Et al. is a Latin abbreviation
for et alii, meaning “and others,”
which is why the word “al.” has a period, whereas “et” does not.
Alone et al. (2011) stipulated
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 19
that peacocks strut. Every single time I refer to their material, I
would apply APA-7’s rule: Alone
et al. (2011) or (Alone et al., 2011). Since et al. denotes plural
authors, the verb must be plural to
44. match, too: Alone et al. (2011) are… This applies to all
citations within the body of the paper
with three or more authors.
Number of Authors in the Reference List
For resources with 20 or fewer authors in the reference list,
write out all of the authors’
last names with first and middle initials, up to and including the
20th author (APA, 2019, section
9.8). APA-7 has a special rule for resources with 21 or more
authors: Write out the first 19
authors’ last names with initials, insert an ellipsis (…) in place
of the ampersand (&), and finish
it with the last name and initials of the last author. See example
#4 provided on page 317 of your
APA-7, as well as this paper’s reference list for visuals of these
variances (Acborne et al. 2011;
Kalnay et al., 1996).
Numbers
Numbers one through nine must be written out in word format
(APA, 2019, section 6.33),
with some exceptions (such as ages—see section 6.32).
Numbers 10 and up must be written out
in numerical format (section 6.32). Always write out in word
45. format any number that begins a
sentence (section 6.33).
Displaying Titles of Works in-Text
The names of journals, books, plays, and other long works, if
mentioned in the body of
the paper, are italicized in title case (APA, 2019, section 6.17).
Titles of articles, lectures, poems,
chapters, website articles, and songs should be in title case,
encapsulated by quotation marks
(section 6.7). The year of publication should follow the author’s
name, whether in narrative or
parenthetical format: Perigogn and Brazel (2012) anticipated…,
or (Perigogn & Brazel, 2012).
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 20
The page or paragraph number must follow after the direct
quote. Second (2015) asserted that
“paper planes can fly to the moon” (p. 13). You can restate that
with a parenthetical citation as:
“Paper planes can fly to the moon” (Second, 2015, p. 13).
Second (2011) is another resource by
46. the same author in a different year.
Primary Sources versus Secondary Sources
APA (2019) strongly advocates against using secondary
sources; rather, it favors you
finding and citing the original (primary) resource whenever
possible (section 8.6). On the rare
occasion that you do find it necessary to cite from a secondary
source, both the primary (who
said it) and secondary (where the quote or idea was mentioned)
sources should be included in the
in-text citation information. If the year of publication is known
for both resources, include both
years in the citation (section 8.6). Only the secondary source
should be listed in the reference
section, however. Use “as cited in” (without the quotation
marks) to indicate the secondary
source. For example, James Morgan hinted that “goat milk
makes the best ice cream” (as cited in
Alone, 2008, p. 117). Morgan is the primary source (he said it)
and Alone is the secondary
source (he quoted what Morgan said). Only the secondary
source is listed in the reference section
(Alone, and not Morgan) because if readers want to confirm the
47. quote, they know to go to page
117 of Alone’s book.
Personal Communications
APA (2019) rationalizes the exclusion of references for
information obtained through
personal communication (such as an interview, email, telephone
call, postcard, text message, or
letter) in the reference list because your readers will not be able
to go directly to those sources
and verify the legitimacy of the material. Instead, these items
are cited only in the body of the
paper. You must include the individual’s first initial, his or her
last name, the phrase “personal
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 21
communication” (without the quotation marks), and the full date
of such communication (section
8.9). As with other citations, such citations may be either
narrative or parenthetical. For example,
L. Applebaum advised him to dip pretzel rolls in cheese fondue
(personal communication, July
48. 13, 2015). The alternative is that he was advised to dip pretzel
rolls in cheese fondue (L.
Applebaum, personal communication, July 13, 2015). Note that
there is no entry for Applebaum
in the reference list below.
Resources Canonically Numbered Sections (i.e., the Bible and
Plays)
These resources should be cited in book format (APA, 2019,
Section 9.42). The Bible and
other religious works are generally regarded as having no
author; an annotated version would be
treated as having an editor. Include republished dates as
necessary. The OWC will publish a list
of reference entries for various Bible versions on its APA Quick
Guide webpage.
Bible and other Classical Works
Works such as the Bible, ancient Greek or Roman works, and
other classical works like
Shakespeare must be cited in the body of the paper (APA, 2019,
section 8.28). APA-7 now also
requires that they be included in the reference list, too (section
9.42), which is a significant
change from APA-6. Republished dates are included as well
49. (see section 9.41). As such, you
would add a parenthetical phrase at the end of your reference
entry with the original publication
details; note that there should be no punctuation following such
parenthetical content at the end
of a reference entry (the reference entries depicting this in the
reference list below are correctly
punctuated).
Citations for the Bible will include the Bible version’s name in
the author’s position (as
an anonymous work), original and republished years, and then
the book chapter/verse (spelled
out) in place of the page number (i.e., King James Bible,
1769/2017, Genesis 3:8)—see sections
https://www.liberty.edu/casas/academic-success-center/apa-
guide/
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 22
8.28 and 9.42. Note that APA (2019) requires book titles to be
italicized in every venue,
including citations and reference entries. Because Liberty
University is a distinctly-Christian
50. institution and many of its courses require biblical integration,
most if not all of its students will
cite the Bible in virtually every course. The examples provided
on pp. 274 and 325 of APA-7 are:
(note the italics in each)
Solomon 8:6)
: King James Bible. (2017). King James Bible
Online.
https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/ (Original work
published 1769)
Plays
When citing plays, “cite the act, scene, and line(s), in a single
string, separated by
periods. For example, ‘1.3.36-37’ refers to Act 1 Scene 3, Lines
36-37” (APA, 2019, section
8.28; see also example #37 on p. 325).
Lectures and PowerPoints
APA (2019) has expanded and standardized its rules for
citations and reference entries in
an effort to best credit the original sources. It now includes
51. rules for crediting content in course
or seminar handouts, lecture notes, and PowerPoint
presentations (see #102 on p. 347). When
citing a PowerPoint presentation, include the slide number
rather than the page number. For
purposes of Liberty University course presentations and lectures
(which are not readily available
to the public), reference each as a video lecture with the URL
(if available) for the presentation,
naming the presenter(s) in the author’s position. Include the
course number, lecture title, and
enough details for others to identify it within that course, in a
sort of book format, naming
Liberty University as publisher. Peters (2012) is an example of
this in the reference list of this
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 23
paper. If the presenter for a Liberty University class lecture is
not named, credit Liberty
University as the author; see Liberty University (2020) in the
reference list below as an example.
52. Dictionary Entries
In keeping with its efforts to standardize reference entries, APA
(2019) now requires
citation and referencing of word definitions from dictionaries to
follow the same rules for
chapters in an edited book (see #47 and #48 on p. 328; section
8.13). As such, you will now
name either the individual, group, or corporate author of the
dictionary in the author’s place (e.g.,
Merriam-Webster, n.d.). If you searched online, include the
retrieval date and the URL to the
exact webpage. If you used a hard copy book, include the
publisher details. The in-text citation
in the body of the paper would follow standard author/year
format (e.g., Merriam-Webster, n.d.).
Changes in Reference Entries
There are a number of notable changes in APA-7 from past
versions. For the most part,
these simplify and unify the formats to be more consistent
across the different resource venues.
Some of these have already been discussed above (i.e., naming
up to 19 authors’ names before
adding an ellipsis, and crediting authors and editors of classical
works and dictionaries). Other
53. changes include italicizing names of webpages and website
resources in the reference list (APA,
2019, section 6.22), as well as book titles even when named in
the author’s position (such as
King James Bible). The city and state locations of publishers
are no longer required; only include
those details “for works that are associated with a specific
location, such as conference
presentations” (p. 297, section 9.31). Issue numbers are
required for all journal articles that have
such, regardless of what page number each issue begins with
(section 9.25). If two or more
publishers are listed on the copyright page, include all of them
in the order listed, separated by
semicolons (section 9.29). Omit the word Author in the
publisher’s place when it is the same as
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 24
the author (section 9.24).
Electronic Sources
54. Note that since the APA 6th edition was published in 2010,
great strides have been made
in online and electronic resource accessibility, and APA’s
position on electronic resources has
shifted to embrace this. More and more resources are available
electronically through the
Internet. The advent of this increased availability has resulted
in APA-7’s effort to standardize
the formatting of resources, which in turn simplifies them to
some extent. All reference entries
follow the same basic details: Author(s), year of publication,
name of resource, and location
details (i.e., either journal name/volume/issue/page numbers, or
book publisher, or webpage).
APA (2019) requires inclusion of a Digital Object Identifier
(DOI) in the references
whenever available (section 9.34); if not, then a webpage, if
available. In keeping with its
unification of resources, APA-7 now standardizes all DOIs and
URLs to be presented in
https://doi.org/10.1177%2F1524838017742386 format. The
phrase “Retrieved from” is now
excluded except when the content may have changed (such as
dictionary entries, Twitter profiles,
55. Facebook pages; see section 9.16). APA-7 requires all
hyperlinks to be active (so your reader can
click on one to go directly to that webpage), but they may
appear as either blue-underlined text
or simple black text (section 9.35). There should be no period
after any URL. APA-7 no longer
requires authors to break long URLs with soft returns (hold
down the Shift key and press the
Enter key) at forward slashes, periods, or underscores to avoid
unsightly spacing gaps, but it may
be best to do so in academic papers.
Adding Color
Though APA (2019) authorizes writers to include the use of
color in photographs and
figures (section 7.26), Liberty University discourages this in
academic papers. It risks becoming
https://doi.org/10.1177%2F1524838017742386
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 25
distracting for both students in their quest to be creative, and
professors in their quest to focus on
56. academic content.
Self-Plagiarism
APA (2019) also invites writers to repurpose some of their
work in future papers.
Specifically, APA-7 states that:
In specific circumstances, authors may wish to duplicate their
previously used works
without quotation marks or citation …, feeling that extensive
self-referencing is
undesirable or awkward and that rewording may lead to
inaccuracies. When the
duplicated material is limited in scope, this approach is
permissible. (p. 8.3)
APA-7 adds “Do not use quotation marks or block quotation
formatting around your own
duplicated material” (p. 256).
Liberty University, however, has stringent rules against self-
plagiarism, as do many
scholarly journals. Liberty University students receive grades
for their class papers; those who
have received feedback and a grade from a prior professor on a
prior paper have an advantage
over their classmates, both in having the benefit of that
57. feedback/grade and in not having to write
a whole paper from scratch during the subsequent class. Student
papers are also submitted to
SafeAssign to deter plagiarism. For these reasons, Liberty
University expressly forbids students
using significant portions of a prior paper in a subsequent
course (either a retake of the same
course or a new class altogether). It is conceivable that students
who are building their
knowledge base in a subject matter—particularly at the graduate
and post-graduate levels—
would reasonably justify incorporating brief excerpts from past
papers into current ones. In such
case, Liberty University authorizes students to utilize APA-7’s
disclosure (i.e., “I have previously
discussed”), along with a citation to the prior class paper and a
reference entry (i.e., Owen, 2012;
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 26
Yoo et al., 2016). Such self-references and re-use of content
from prior papers should be used
58. sparingly and disclosed fully in the current paper; that content
should not constitute a significant
portion of any academic assignment, however.
Final Formatting Tweaks
The templates provided by Liberty University are already
formatted with proper spacing,
margins, heading level structure, and hanging indents, as
necessary. With the exceptions of the
title page, figures, and equations, papers in APA format should
be double-spaced throughout,
with no extra spacing between lines. Academic papers at Liberty
University should also be in
one of the accepted fonts throughout (recommended: Times New
Romans, 12-point font).
Sometimes when you format your paper or cut-and-paste
material into it, things get skewed. One
quick way to ensure that your paper appears correct in these
regards is to do a final formatting
tweak after you have completed your paper. Hold down the
“Ctrl” button and press the “A” key,
which selects and highlights all of the text in your paper. Then
go to the Home tab in Microsoft
Word and make sure that whichever acceptable font/size you
choose to use is selected in the Font
59. box. Next, click on the arrow at the bottom of the Paragraph
tab. Set your spacing before and
after paragraphs to “0 pt” and click the “double” line spacing.
The extra spacing required on the
title page is already programmed into the template and should
not change even when you
complete these actions.
Exhaustive Reference List Examples & Additional Helpful
Resources
The reference list at the end of this paper includes an example
of a myriad of different
sources and how each is formatted in proper APA-7 format. One
example of each of the primary
types of resources will be included in the reference list, as cited
in the body of this paper.
Remember that, for purposes of this paper only, many of the
sources cited in the body of the
SAMPLE APA-7 PAPER FOR GRADUATE/DOCTORAL
STUDENTS 27
paper were provided for illustrative purposes only and thus are
fictional, so you will not be able
60. to locate them if you searched online. Nevertheless, in keeping
with APA-7 style, all resources
cited in the body of the paper are included in the reference list
and vice versa (except for personal
communications, per APA-7’s published exceptions). Be
absolutely sure that every resource cited
in the body of your paper is also included in your reference list
(and vice versa), excepting only
those resources with special rules, such as personal
communications and primary sources you
could not access directly.
The reference list in this paper is fairly comprehensive and will
include a book by one
author who also appears as one of many authors in another
resource (Alone, 2008; Alone et al.,
2011); chapters in edited books (Balsam et al., 2019; Haybron,
2008; Perigogn & Brazel, 2012;

resources by same author in the
same year (Double, 2008a, 2008b; Carlisle, n.d.-a, n.d.-b); two
resources by the same author in
different years (Second, 2011, 2015); resource with 20 authors
(maximum allowed by APA-7
before special rule applies) (Acborne et al., 2011); resource
with 21 or more authors (Kalnay et

Conclusion
The conclusion to your paper should provide your readers with a
concise summary of the
main points of your paper (though not via cut-and-pasted
sentences used above). It is a very
important element, as it frames your whole ideology and gives
your readers their last impression
of your thoughts. Be careful not to introduce new content in
your conclusion.
After your conclusion, if you are not using the template
provided by the Online Writing
Center, insert a page break at the end of the paper so that the
reference list begins at the top of a
new page. Do this by holding down the “Ctrl” key and then
clicking the “Enter” key. You will go
65. to an entirely new page in order to start the reference list. The
word “References” (not in
quotation marks) should be centered and bolded. Items in the
reference list are presented
alphabetically by the first author’s last name and are formatted
with hanging indents (the
second+ lines of each entry are indented 1/2” from the left
margin). APA authorizes the use of
singular “Reference” if you only have one resource.3 Students
would, of course, NOT include
any color-coding or footnotes in their reference entries.
However, for the sake of clarity and
ease in identifying what each entry represents, each one
included in the reference list of this
sample paper is color-coordinated to its corresponding footnote,
with a brief description of what
each depicts.

Psycologia Latinoamericana, 26(1), 66-81.
Weaving spiritual applications throughout the article, the
authors incorporate a plethora
of references to substantiate that maltreatment has a direct
connection to attachment
disorders. They provide articulate and heavily-supported
reasoning, detailing the specific
causes of maternal deprivation individually and then
incorporating them in a broader
sense to answer the article’s title in the affirmative.

This longitudinal study tracked 31 Israeli children from ages 3
months to 13 years
(infancy to adolescence). There were direct parallels noted
between increased
attachment/coherence and the child’s moral cognition, empathy
development, and verbal
IQ. Toddlers who were able to regulate their own behavior later
proved to excel in lead-
lag structures and language skills.

Abstract
Begin your abstract at the left margin. This is the only
95. paragraph that should not be indented.
Unless otherwise instructed, APA recommends an abstract be no
more than 250 words. It should
generally not contain any citations or direct quotes. This should
be a tight, concise summary of
the main points in your paper, not a step-by-step of what you
plan to accomplish in your paper.
Avoid phrases such as “this paper will,” and just structure your
sentences to say what you want
to say. The following three sentences exemplify a good abstract
style: There are many
similarities and differences between the codes of ethics for the
ACA and the AACC. Both include
similar mandates in the areas of ----, ---, and ---. However, each
differs significantly in the areas
of ---, ---, and ---. For more detailed information, see “Writing
an Abstract” at
https://www.liberty.edu/casas/academic-success-center/wp-
content/uploads/sites/28/2019/04/
Writing_an_Abstract_Revised_2012.pdf (note that you would
not include any links in your
abstract). This is just now at 168 words, so eyeball how brief
your abstract must be. Think of
your paper as a movie you want to sound enticing, and the
96. abstract as the summary of the plot
you would share to draw people’s interest into wanting to come
and see your movie. You want to
really hook and intrigue them. What you have to say is
important! Remember to stay under 250,
words. Keywords highlight the search terms someone would use
to find your paper in a database.
Keywords: main words, primary, necessary, search terms

Sample APA Paper: Professional Format for Graduate/Doctoral
Students
The title of your paper goes on the top line of the first page of
the body (American
Psychological Association [APA], 2019, section 2.11). It should
be centered, bolded, and in title
case (all major words—usually those with four+ letters—should
97. begin with a capital letter)—see
p. 51 of your Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association: Seventh Edition
(APA, 2019; hereinafter APA-7). It must match the title that is
on your title page (see last line on
p. 32). As shown in the previous sentence, use brackets to
denote an abbreviation within
parentheses (bottom of p. 159). Write out the full name of an
entity or term the first time
mentioned before using its acronym (see citation in first
sentence in this paragraph), and then use
the acronym throughout the body of the paper (section 6.25).
There are many changes in APA-7. One to mention here is that
APA-7 allows writers to
include subheadings within the introductory section (APA,
2019, p. 47). Since APA-7 now
regards the title, abstract, and term “References” to all be
Level-1 headings, a writer who opts to
include headings in his or her introduction must begin with
Level-2 headings as shown above
(see section 2.27) for any divisions within the introductory
section.
If you do choose to include headings in your introduction
section (which is optional), be
