Example: Researchers conducted an experiment to test the hypothesis. Passive Voice: The subject is acted upon. Example: An experiment was conducted by researchers to test the hypothesis.

54 APA Style Avoiding Bias Respect people s preferences. Call people by the pronouns or other designations they prefer if known.

Singular they/their has become increasingly accepted in many publication venues.
