Research

Welcome to the facts and research category archive. Here you’ll find all the articles that will contain information gathered from reliable and peer reviewed sources.

In the facts and research archive, you’ll find articles that use journals and other reliable information sources. The majority of the articles will be referenced using the American Psychological Association (APA) format. I’m using APA because that’s the referencing style I was taught to use. So, you’ll find a detailed reference section at the end of the articles using this format.

If you’re looking for advice and information that has had extra research done to support the context of the articles, then this is the archive for you.
