Answer 5

It might help...won't hurt APA has a rule for unknown date: Unknown Author and Unknown Date: If no author or date is given, use the title in your signal phrase or the first word or two of the title in the parentheses and use the abbreviation "n.d." (for "no date").
Another study of students and research decisions discovered that students succeeded with tutoring ("Tutoring and APA," n.d.).

Answer 6

Effrat (n.d.) notes about anxiety inducing teachers, “Such teachers seemed to have little patience, to employ a good deal of criticism, and to rely on inducing fear to failure as their primary motivating strategy” ("Driving Dr. Dewey," p. 4).

Is this it?

Answer 7

Use the author's last name in the in-text citation not the title. Only use the title if the author is unknown. In this instance you would not even need the author's last name in the in-text citation, since you cite him and the date at the beginning of the sentence. So in this case your parenthetical citations for this sentence is (p.4).
