This site does not allow text formatting so I indicated what should be in italics by using the HTML start italics tag <i> and end italics tag </i> (coders, yes I know those tags are depreciated). Also not that APA requires a double space after periods in the body of your APA paper, but a single space after periods on the reference page. Obviously, the reference entries should use a hanging indentation. I believe you tried to do this by using spaces, but it doesn't translate here.
