How do I cite something I read about in another source?

Cite the source you actually read, using as cited in. So (Bandura, 1977, as cited in Okafor, 2021). Only the source you read goes in the reference list. Wherever the original is obtainable, it is better to find and read it, and most graders expect you to.

This comes up on APA 7 In-Text Citations, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
