Below is a paragraph with a few APA style errors in it. Your job is to try to spot as many
errors as you can!
The researchers in the study (Lee & et al., 2014) stated that comparing yourself to an
individual on social media will play a role in your self-esteem; they also tested to see whether
or not people would admit to comparing themselves to others. The researcher found that a
person’s social comparison is related to their regularity on Facebook. This was measured by
anxiety, depression, and self-concept, all of which have been linked to a person’s comparison
usage on Facebook. Users who use Facebook constantly should be getting a lot of attention
on their posts; they expect others to like and comment more on their account (Smith,
Johnson, Lee, 2022). The usage of social media can have a negative effect on our self-
concept; this can cause one’s self-reflection to be affected by negative comments (Gonzalez
and Hoffman, 2018).
