This is the abstract. Proceedings for the ERF World Congress will be published online. All manuscripts for the proceedings should be prepared to allow easy uploading. Files should ideally be submitted in MS Office format, open office format, or rich text format. After proofreading, text will be exported to indesign, then converted to PDF format. You can use this file as a format template to facilitate manuscript preparation, by deleting the text and using the styles. All manuscripts intended for publication in the ERF World Congress Conference Proceedings should follow guidelines specified in this document and in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association 6th Edition (APA). The committee may refuse publication of contributions that do not conform to these guidelines.
This is the introduction. Note, the introduction has no title.
Please follow the directions in this template carefully to avoid lengthy rewriting after submission. The reasons for formatting are to make each paper in the proceedings consistent, and to make life easier for the proofreaders and editors.
The maximum manuscript length is 4000 words (日本語の場合は12,000文字), including figures, tables, and references. Please use A4 (210×297 mm) with single spacing and 12 point Times New Roman (日本語の場合は明朝体11 ポイント、日本語原稿中の英語はTimes New Roman 11ポイント) throughout, 25 mm margins top and bottom and 20 mm margins left and right. The manuscript should be justified on both the left and right sides.
Format Details
Overall formatting for the document should follow the guidelines listed in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA) 6th Edition. Information on APA 6th Edition is listed in the references section of this document. Here are some minor points:
●Please insert one space, not two, after a period or full stop at the end of each sentence.
●Please do not use tabs or spaces to indent.
●Please turn off hyphenation.
Title
Center the title and use bold-face. Capitalize the first letter of each word of the title except articles (a, the), conjunctions (and, with, of) and prepositions (to, for, in). The same capitalization applies to headings and table titles.
Author(s) and Affiliation(s)
Leave one empty line after the title line(s) and type authors’ names. Capitalize the initial letter of the family name and that of the first name of each author. Middle names (if any) should be abbreviated and listed by initial letter only. Skip another line before beginning the authors’ affiliation(s). The authors’ names and affiliations should also be centered. Please list author contact email addresses.
Abstract
Each manuscript should include a short abstract (not more than about 150 words, 日本語の場合は400文字), which should summarize the purpose, participants, methods, analyses, and results of the study. Skip two lines after the authors’ affiliation line(s), and type the body of the abstract.
Main Body of the Text
The main body of the text should be divided into sections and begun after skipping two lines after the last line of abstract. Use an appropriate heading before each section, except the introduction, which needs no heading.
Headings
There are two levels of headings: Level 1, at the start of a major new section, Level 2, at the start of a subsection. Level 1 headings (like, “Main Body of the Text”, above) should be centered and use bold typeface. Skip two lines before a level 1 heading. Level 2 headings (like “Tables” below) should be left-justified and use italic typeface. Skip one line before a level 2 heading. For both Level 1 and Level 2 headings, capitalize the initial letter of each word, except articles, prepositions, and conjunctions. Please do not add numbers to any of the headings.
Tables
Tables should be numbered serially throughout the paper with Arabic numerals, and each should be placed in the text where reference is made to it. When tables are referred to in the text, refer to tables as (Table 1). Table headings should always appear above the table; all table headings should be italicized and each content word should be capitalized. All tables, table headings, and table footnotes should be left-justified.
When listing N-sizes, p-values, or other information, please use either superscript lower-letters or a single asterisk in the table, followed by a list of the values beneath the table. Do not list more than one p-value (i.e., three “floating” p-values such as *p <.05, **p <.01, **p <.001); choose one p-value and report it.
Table 1. Give All Tables a Short Title Describing the Contents
df / tAccepted papers / 50 / 4.260*
Control group / 49 / 0.654
*p <.001
Figures
Figures should be numbered serially throughout the paper, with Arabic numerals. When figures are referred to in the text, they should be typed as (Figure 1). A one-sentence description should appear directly beneath the figure, left-justified, and should adequately explain the contents of the figure. Capitalize only the first word of the figure description.
People may print out your article in black and white, so please keep colors to a minimum. If color or pattern bars are used, include a legend. Do not use horizontal lines or background patterns for graphs.
If photographs are used, please reduce the file size. Large images will greatly increase the file size, and thus will also greatly increase the uploading, downloading, and printing time.
Figures should be uploaded separately.
Figure 1. Please describe the contents of the figure so that readers can easily grasp its contents without needing to search for the contents within the text itself.
References
Sources used in the paper should be listed at the end. The basic format is Author, N. (YEAR). Title in Italics if it’s a book. City: Publisher. Or Author, N. (YEAR). Title not in italics if it’s a paper or chapter. Title of journal or book. Volume number(Issue number), Page-Page. There are many details and variations, so please check the style guide carefully. URLs to the reference will be very useful, but please check they work. See below for an example list of works referred to
Proofreading
Find a friend or colleague to read carefully through your paper before you send it to us. Writing usually contains mistakes, and it is always possible to improve it.
Footnotes
Do not use footnotes. If something is important, add it. If it is not important, do not add it!
Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments, if any, should be placed at the end of the text before the references. We’d like to thank Myles Grogan for proofreading this template, although he is not responsible for any of the mistakes!
