Bibliography:
The
accuracy and completeness of the references is the
responsibility of the author. References to personal
letters, paper presented at meetings, and other unpublished

of help in the evaluation of the paper, copies should
be made available to the Editor. Papers which are
part of a series should include a citation of the

to the end of a citation to avoid footnotes in text.
The format for citations in text for bibliographic

Psychological Association (4th ed., 1994). Citation
of an author's work in the text should follow the
author-date method of citation; the surname of the
