Typing Template for APA Papers: A Sample of Proper Formatting for the APA 6th Edition
This is an electronic template for papers written in APA style (American Psychological Association, 2010). The purpose of the template is to help the student set the margins and spacing. Margins are set at 1 inch for top, bottom, left, and right. The type is left-justified onlyâthat means the left margin is straight, but the right margin is ragged. Each paragraph is indented five spaces. It is best to use the tab key to indent. The line spacing is double throughout the paper, even on the reference page. One space is used after punctuation at the end of sentences. The font style used in this template is Times New Roman and the font size is 12.
First Heading
The heading above would be used if you want to have your paper divided into sections based on content. This is the first level of heading, and it is centered and bolded with each word of four letters or more capitalized. The heading should be a short descriptor of the section. Note that not all papers will have headings or subheadings in them.
First Subheading
The subheading above would be used if there are several sections within the topic labeled in a heading. The subheading is flush left and bolded, with each word of four letters or more capitalized.
Second Subheading
APA dictates that you should avoid having only one subsection heading and subsection within a section. In other words, use at least two subheadings under a main heading, or do not use any at all.
When you are ready to write, and after having read these instructions completely, you can delete these directions and start typing. The formatting should stay the same. However, one item that you will have to change is the page header, which is placed at the top of each page along with the page number. The words included in the page header should be reflective of the title of your paper, so that if the pages are intermixed with other papers they will be identifiable. When using Word 2003, double click on the words in the page header. This should enable you to edit the words. You should not have to edit the page numbers.
In addition to spacing, APA style includes a special way of citing resource articles. See the APA manual for specifics regarding in-text citations. The APA manual also discusses the desired tone of writing, grammar, punctuation, formatting for numbers, and a variety of other important topics. Although the APA style rules are used in this template, the purpose of the template is only to demonstrate spacing and the general parts of the paper. The student will n.

Typing Template for APA Papers: A Sample of Proper
Formatting for the APA 6th Edition
This is an electronic template for papers written in APA
style (American Psychological Association, 2010). The purpose
of the template is to help the student set the margins and
spacing. Margins are set at 1 inch for top, bottom, left, and
right. The type is left-justified onlyâthat means the left margin
is straight, but the right margin is ragged. Each paragraph is
indented five spaces. It is best to use the tab key to indent. The
line spacing is double throughout the paper, even on the
2. reference page. One space is used after punctuation at the end
of sentences. The font style used in this template is Times New
Roman and the font size is 12.
First Heading
The heading above would be used if you want to have your
paper divided into sections based on content. This is the first
level of heading, and it is centered and bolded with each word
of four letters or more capitalized. The heading should be a
short descriptor of the section. Note that not all papers will
have headings or subheadings in them.
First Subheading
The subheading above would be used if there are several

is flush left and bolded, with each word of four letters or more
capitalized.
Second Subheading
APA dictates that you should avoid having only one
subsection heading and subsection within a section. In other
words, use at least two subheadings under a main heading, or do
not use any at all.
When you are ready to write, and after having read these
instructions completely, you can delete these directions and

item that you will have to change is the page header, which is
placed at the top of each page along with the page number. The

In addition to spacing, APA style includes a special way of
citing resource articles. See the APA manual for specifics
regarding in-text citations. The APA manual also discusses the
desired tone of writing, grammar, punctuation, formatting for
numbers, and a variety of other important topics. Although the
APA style rules are used in this template, the purpose of the
3. template is only to demonstrate spacing and the general parts of
the paper. The student will need to refer to the APA manual for
other format directions. GCU has prepared an APA Style Guide
available in the Student Writing Center for additional help in
correctly formatting according to APA style.
The reference list should appear at the end of a paper (see the
next page). 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. A sample reference page is included below; this page
includes examples of how to format different reference types
(e.g., books, journal articles, information from a website). The
examples on the following page include examples taken directly
from the APA manual.

Team problem statement: _ Health care concerns in the United
States are at an all-time high due to various circumstances,
illness and life situations that are faced from birth through
death. From mental health, obesity and care for senior citizens,
each American is affected by the health care system in one form
another. These effects range from not having the proper care,
not being able to afford what is available, to not having the
options to best suit the needs of the individual.

Content Guidelines
When constructing this paper, use a three-part structure

Part 1
The first part of the paper requires you to identify information
from your own personal history. Use the following questions to
11. help guide your reflections:

with discrimination you may have experienced and how your
cultural background impacted these experiences. If you have not
had any experiences, share why you believe this to be true.
3) Identify memories of contact with those who were culturally
different than you, and your experiences associated with these
differences. Be specific.
4) How has your life experience affected how you may relate to
persons different than you? Be specific.
Part 2
The second part of the paper requires you to demonstrate an
understanding of the concepts of racism/discrimination. Use the
following questions to help guide your reflections:
1) What does it mean to be a subtle racist? Please include a
referenced definition and example.
2) Why could there be significant differences in perceptions and
values of members within the same ethnic group? Be specific.
Part 3
The third part of your paper requires you to review and reflect
on the ACA and NAADAC codes of ethics. Use the following to
help guide your reflection:
1) Discuss how the ACA and NAADAC codes of ethics will
inform your practice.
a) Identify and cite the specific ACA and NAADA multicultural
codes that you will use to inform your practice.
2) What did you learn about the importance of cultural
sensitivity in treatment planning?
3) How do communication styles and help-seeking behaviors
differ across cultures?
4) How might strategies to build rapport be differentiated based
on culture?
