FORMATTING
Entries in tables are sometimes highlighted in bold face and/or coloured font to assist in
locating cells referenced in the text referring to them.
Appendices are titled with the related chapter number and a text description.
Any necessary sales marks, trademarks, and copyright indicators will be indicated on
first use of the referent, and omitted thereafter.
To save space, rather than the often used * for probability of difference < 0.05, the
dagger (†) is used, and for probability of difference < 0.01 the double dagger character
(‡) is used rather than ** and the actual probability is sometimes not reported to
enhance readability of tables. Where daggers impede readability, they are omitted and
only the value of the probability is reported. An asterisk, *, is occasionally used to
indicate lack of significant difference.
The document style departs from standard American Psychological Association format
to enhance readability of a long, double-spaced document. Top level headings will be
centred in bold face small caps; second level headings will be flush left in bold face,
each word capitalised; third level headings will be flush left, capitalised, in bold face
italics; fourth level headings will be integral to the paragraph text, bold face italics, the
first words of the paragraphs, ended by a period (full stop).
