Free APA 7 research tool
APA Style Results Reporting Generator
Turn statistical output into a clear APA-style results sentence. Generate unlimited basic reports for t tests, ANOVA, Pearson correlations and chi-square tests. No account or rewarded-ad unlock required.
Enter your statistical results
Select a test and enter values from your statistical software. The generator formats the numbers you supply; it does not calculate the test or its p value.
Enter the degrees of freedom shown in your output. For ANOVA, enter two values separated by a comma, such as 2, 57.
Only report an effect size if it comes from your analysis; the tool does not estimate it.
Enter corresponding comma-separated means and SDs in the same order, with at least two groups or conditions. The labels will be Group 1, Group 2, and so on.
Your APA-style results sentence
Review the statistical values and replace generic group labels with the names of your actual conditions.
(Your APA-style result will appear here.)
The generator does not verify test assumptions, calculate significance, establish causation or determine whether the reported model matches your research design.
APA Style Results Reporting Generator
Writing the results section of a psychology report can be surprisingly fiddly. Even when the statistical analysis is complete, researchers still need to present test statistics, degrees of freedom, p values and effect sizes clearly.
Our free APA Style Results Reporting Generator helps psychology and social science students turn statistical output into properly structured APA-style results sentences.
Enter the values from your analysis, select your statistical test and generate a sentence ready to review and adapt for a lab report, dissertation or research paper.
Which statistical tests does the free generator support?
The free APA 7 Results Reporting Generator supports four common statistical tests:
t tests: Independent-samples and paired-samples tests, including optional Cohen's d.
ANOVA: One-way, repeated-measures and two-way ANOVA, with optional eta squared (η²).
Pearson correlation: Reporting correlation coefficients, degrees of freedom and p values.
Chi-square: Reporting chi-square statistics, degrees of freedom and p values, with optional phi for appropriate 2 × 2 tables.
You can also add group means and standard deviations when reporting t tests or ANOVA.
How to report statistical results in APA 7 style
APA-style statistical reporting generally includes the name of the test, the relevant test statistic, degrees of freedom where applicable, and a p value.
For example, an independent-samples t test might be reported as:
A two-tailed independent-samples t test yielded t(28) = 2.43, p = .034.
The exact wording should reflect the study design, variables and research question. A complete results section may also require descriptive statistics, confidence intervals and effect sizes.
The free generator formats the information you enter. It does not calculate the statistical analysis or determine whether you selected the correct test.
How to use the Results Reporting Generator
Choose the statistical test you conducted.
Enter the test statistic, degrees of freedom and p value from your statistical software.
Add an effect size or descriptive statistics if available.
Select Generate APA result.
Review the sentence and copy it into your draft.
The generated text should be adapted to describe your actual variables, participant groups and research findings.
Common APA results reporting mistakes
Some common errors include confusing statistical significance with practical importance, reporting the wrong degrees of freedom, omitting effect sizes, and describing differences between groups without appropriate statistical evidence.
It is also important to distinguish between the output of a statistical test and the interpretation of its findings. A p value alone does not establish the importance of an effect, prove a hypothesis or demonstrate causation.
The generator helps with formatting, but the researcher remains responsible for accurate statistical interpretation.
