Scherer, K. R., Clark-Polner, E., & Mortillaro, M. (This is the primary source)

Question

Elfenbein and Ambady (is a secondary source and the date of this secondary source 2002)

I am citing a secondary source (Elfenbein and Ambady) into my paper.

The primary source is Scherer, K. R., Clark-Polner, E., & Mortillaro, M. (2011)

Here my first citation within a sentence. I feel like it is not correct way to cite a secondary source with a primary source.

Elfenbein and Ambady assert there is universal recognition of emotions regardless of whether or not people belong to the same culture but emotions are better recognized between people of the same culture (Scherer et al., 2011).

Is this APA parenthetical citation correct?

Elfenbein and Ambady, (2002) as cited in Scherer et al. (2011) assert there is universal recognition of emotions regardless of whether or not people belong to the same culture but emotions are better recognized between people of the same culture.

Answer 1

I think your citation (the last sentence) is correct.
