APA Style: Formatting a Table

When using a table in your writing, call out the table in the paragraph above your table. Format it in the manner shown in the example.  Keep the following in mind:

1. Number all tables sequentially as you refer to them in your text, 
2. Keep the title brief, but descriptive, 
3. Eliminate vertical lines, 
4. to format a table displaying the results of a ANOVA or a Regression - see: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/19/ ,

Example: 

Reading assignment for the study. Students in each of the four classes were randomly split into four different note-taking groups (see Table 1 for descriptions) and given a short article to read for homework about the psychology of persuasion. The article was taken from the students’ psychology textbook and was used to introduce the students to the basics of persuasion. It was 1629 words long with a Flesch-Kincaid reading grade level (Solnyshkina, Zamaletdinov, Gorodetskaya, & Gabitov, 2017) of 9.6. Students were told that they would use the article’s information to help them plan and give a persuasive sales pitch to the class at the conclusion of the economics unit they had just started. The article was distributed in PDF format using the school’s learning management system Schoology. (excerpt from Evans & Shively, 2018)
