If you’ve never seen the show, I highly recommend. While the show is funny, it addresses a lot of conflict (even if it does miss the mark sometimes). Case in point, Jim. If you really break the character down, he’s not a great guy. If you’ve ever worked with someone who thought their pranks and poor treatment of others was normal, office banter, then you understand. What I love about this episode is that you finally get to see (and so does the character) how degrading and unproductive, let alone NOT funny, his jokes really are. Now, before you come at me with my opinion, all the characters in this show have faults. It’s what makes this show so funny! We get to see people we work with through a lens that helps us (well, most of us) understand that certain behaviors are not acceptable at work. Instructions PLEASE GO TO YOUR PEACOCK TV LOGIN AND WATCH THE OFFICE S2:E21 CONFLICT RESOLUTION (????????) When watching the episode (????????), please note how the office productivity pretty much stops for the day. You’ve already read about conflict and its impact on business, so think about the articles you’ve read in addition to this episode when commenting. After watching the episode, please post a comment (minimum of 150 words) about its contents and respond to two other classmates’. I do expect to read insightful discussions, so please don’t reply with, “I really liked your comment. I feel the same way.” Here are some talking points if you’re stumped: Do you work in a place that has a strict policies and procedures for conflict management? Many companies use mandatory arbitration to handle disputes. Does yours? Are you aware of your company’s policies? Do you work with someone who makes racist, sexist, and misogynistic comments only to say “I’m joking” when called out on it? Does your company handle it or look the other way? How does that make you feel? In my experience, restaurants are horrible places to work when it comes to sexism and power-distance. Do you work in one? Have things changed? Do you feel companies do enough to mitigate conflict in the workplace? Personally, I don’t think so, but I worked in restaurants. If you work somewhere you feel handles conflict well, what are some of their practices?

Reference List: Basic Rules
Note: This page reflects the latest version of the APA Publication Manual (i.e., APA 7), which released in October 2019. The equivalent resource for the older APA 6 style can be found here.
This resource, revised according to the 7th edition APA Publication Manual, provides fundamental guidelines for constructing the reference pages of research papers. For more information, please consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, (7th ed.).
Note: Because the information on this page pertains to virtually all citations, we’ve highlighted one important difference between APA 6 and APA 7 with an underlined note written in red.
Formatting a Reference List
Your reference list should appear at the end of your paper. It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. Each source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise, each entry in the reference list must be cited in your text.
Your references should begin on a new page separate from the text of the essay; label this page “References” in bold, centered at the top of the page (do NOT underline or use quotation marks for the title). All text should be double-spaced just like the rest of your essay.
Basic Rules for Most Sources
- All lines after the first line of each entry in your reference list should be indented one-half inch from the left margin. This is called hanging indentation.
- All authors’ names should be inverted (i.e., last names should be provided first).
- Authors’ first and middle names should be written as initials.
- For example, the reference entry for a source written by Jane Marie Smith would begin with “Smith, J. M.”
- If a middle name isn’t available, just initialize the author’s first name: “Smith, J.”
- Give the last name and first/middle initials for all authors of a particular work up to and including 20 authors (this is a new rule, as APA 6 only required the first six authors). Separate each author’s initials from the next author in the list with a comma. Use an ampersand (&) before the last author’s name. If there are 21 or more authors, use an ellipsis (but no ampersand) after the 19th author, and then add the final author’s name.
- Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last name of the first author of each work.
- For multiple articles by the same author, or authors listed in the same order, list the entries in chronological order, from earliest to most recent.
- When referring to the titles of books, chapters, articles, reports, webpages, or other sources, capitalize only the first letter of the first word of the title and subtitle, the first word after a colon or a dash in the title, and proper nouns.
- Note again that the titles of academic journals are subject to special rules. See section below.
- Italicize titles of longer works (e.g., books, edited collections, names of newspapers, and so on).
- Do not italicize, underline, or put quotes around the titles of shorter works such as chapters in books or essays in edited collections.
Basic Rules for Articles in Academic Journals
- Present journal titles in full.
- Italicize journal titles.
- Maintain any nonstandard punctuation and capitalization that is used by the journal in its title.
- For example, you should use PhiloSOPHIA instead of Philosophia, or Past & Present instead of Past and Present.
- Capitalize all major words in the titles of journals. Note that this differs from the rule for titling other common sources (like books, reports, webpages, and so on) described above.
- This distinction is based on the type of source being cited. Academic journal titles have all major words capitalized, while other sources’ titles do not.
- Capitalize the first word of the titles and subtitles of journal articles, as well as the first word after a colon or a dash in the title, and any proper nouns.
- Do not italicize or underline the article title.
- Do not enclose the article title in quotes.
- So, for example, if you need to cite an article titled “Deep Blue: The Mysteries of the Marianas Trench” that was published in the journal Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication, you would write the article title as follows:
- Deep blue: The mysteries of the Marianas Trench.
- …but you would write the journal title as follows:
- Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication
- So, for example, if you need to cite an article titled “Deep Blue: The Mysteries of the Marianas Trench” that was published in the journal Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication, you would write the article title as follows:
Please note: While the APA manual provides examples of how to cite common types of sources, it does not cover all conceivable sources. If you must cite a source that APA does not address, the APA suggests finding an example that is similar to your source and using that format. For more information, see page 282 of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th ed.
