2 questions:
1. One of the articles I'm reviewing involves hierarchical linear regression, and I am rusty on regression anyway, and I am confused about how to interpret those statistics-- the chart shows statistics for Beta and R^2 change for several variables. What should I report... the r^2 change?
2. I am still confused about using the issue number of a volume in an APA citation... can you explain when you would put the issue number in the citation and when you wouldn't?

These answers are a bit long...
1)You actually do not have to report the actual stats for your article reviews, but can describe the results with something like "On the next step, __ and __ were entered simultaneously, resulting ins a significant increase" or "the effect remained significant after adding __ and __". However, if you want to report the numbers, you would report delta R^2 for each step (change), as well the F (_, _) and p values for each step. You also report those stats for the overall model. Basically in your article review, you want to report whether the factors added at each step were significant and whether the model as a whole were significant.
2)You only put the issue number if the journal prints each new issue of the volume beginning on page 1. This is not typically the case. If the page numbers start high, it most likely does not begin each issue with page 1, but instead begins the issue with whatever page the last one ended with. Look up the journal on the library's search engines and look through their articles. Specifically, if you look at issue 2 (of whatever volume # you want) and find the earliest date, you can see if the first article of the second issue of the volume begins on page one or not. That's probably confusing unless you actually are trying it out as you read.
: ) We can look one up together if you can make it to the review session on Tuesday.
