An APA-style table efficiently organizes descriptive statistics for complex research designs involving multiple variables. For instance, a table detailing a study on mood, self-esteem, and unprotected sex would feature overarching headings for positive and negative mood, subdivided by high and low self-esteem. The rows would list the outcome variables—intentions and attitudes toward unprotected sex—with their corresponding mean scores and standard deviations filling the table cells, all structured clearly with standard horizontal lines.
