Re: [tips] APA Style: Spaces between sentences

I recall seeing a poster, I think by the redoubtable Tom Bever, at a conference in Rochester in the mid-1990s, where they found that double spacing between phrases within a sentence served to increased comprehension by some small but measurable amount. 5%? Not bad, especially given the simplici

RE: [tips] APA Style: Spaces between sentences

As usual, Mike has provided superb links. I opine that the effect of spacing on readability is likely affected by personal characteristics. In typing class in junior high I learned that a single space between sentences would earn a reprimand. At my current age, and with lost neurons p

Re: [tips] APA Style: Spaces between sentences

A couple of points on this raging debate: (1) As Rick Froman points out below, APA style started out with 2 spaces after the period (what I learned as an undergraduate in lab class and back in my high school typing class), went to 1 space for the 5th ed, and is now back to two spaces. It doesn't

Re: [tips] APA Style: Spaces between sentences

If you are using a monospaced typeface (e.g., Courier), you should use 2 spaces. If you are using a proportional typeface (e.g. Times New Roman, pretty much anything except Courier), you should use 1 space. I know APA currently uses 2, but my personal bias is 1 space. When I send a manuscript to

RE: [tips] APA Style: Spaces between sentences

APA 6th edition says two (section 4.01 on spacing). The 5th said one and the 4th and earlier said two. It’s the consistency that is most impressive. Rick Dr. Rick Froman Professor of Psychology Box 3519 John Brown University 2000 W. University Siloam Springs, AR 72761 rfr

RE: [tips] Teaching Theories

We have a personality course that covers all of the old theories too. Do graduate programs in counseling and other mental health related programs expect student to know all of the old personality theories? Joe Joseph J. Horton, Ph. D. Box 3077 Grove City College Grove City, PA 16127 724-458-20

Re: [tips] Teaching Theories

I think Theories of Personality is still widely taught. But, in looking at textbooks and such, it tends to be taught in very much a ‘history of theories of personality’ fashion. I think this gives students a false sense of the vitality and utility of old theories. I would be comfortable with a

APA says one. All touch typing courses taught us to use two. My thumbs will never be able to unlearn that double space after a sentence though. Beth Benoit Plymouth State University New Hampshire​ On Thu, Mar 26, 2015 at 4:47 PM, Wuensch, Karl L wrote: > One or two? > > --- > You are c
