Notes from the APA:
The final or archival version of the article is being referenced, so there is no need to include retrieval date.
The article was retrieved from the PsycARTICLES database. However, no database name or URL is needed because the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) functions as both a unique identifier of the content (taking the place of a database name or accession number) and a link to the content (taking the place of a URL).

Notes from the APA:
If there is no DOI assigned, give the exact URL (if the content is open-access) or the URL of the journal home page (if the content is accessible by subscription).
No retrieval date is included because the final version of the article is being referenced.
