You need to reference all the sources that you use in your assignments - this includes citing them in the main body of your assignment (an in-text reference) and compiling a full reference list at the end of your work.
You will have to use two styles of referencing for this course. For psychology you will need to use the APA standard and for the sport units you will use Harvard Solent. It would be advisable to check with your lecturer which style they require before submitting work.
Consider setting up and using RefWorks to manage your references as you can easily switch between styles for your work getting the computer to do most of the work for you.

RefWorks is a tool to help you to manage your references. You can export references directly from the library catalogue, databases and even Google Scholar directly into RefWorks and format them into Harvard Solent or other styles as required.
If you use RefWorks it will do most of the work for you, but it will make mistakes as it can only work with the data it can see so check the output against the Harvard Solent Referencing Guide before submitting your assignments.
