Nonetheless, this study is severely limited in that the sample was extremely small, and that I was a biased facilitator (ideally such a study should be conducted with at least three other experimenters who are unaware of the purpose and hypothesis of the study), as well as in the fact that it was conducted in limiting circumstances (the bathroom near a bathtub).
Also to be considered is the fact that other confounding circumstances may have induced the resilient individual to have kept her hands in for longer. She may, for instance, be thicker-skinned than the others, or have some other physiological characteristic that may make her naturally more resilient to pain. Altogether, this experiment would have to be conducted in a far more scientific manner for authoritative and reliable results to be deduced.
Conclusion
The significance of the gate control theory lies in its implication that we can attenuate or block pain by using the mind, or mental abilities, to quell it. There are various approaches on the market as to particular cognitive methods that are allegedly most effective in quelling nociception. Some of them work, some of them do not. Hackett and Horan (1980) singled out the sensory-discriminative as being most effective in lowering pain tolerance but not pain threshold, and the motivational approach as inhibiting pain threshold but not tolerance. This study demonstrated reverse results. The study also demonstrated motivational interventions to have greater impact on relieving pain than sensory interventions. However, the limitations of the study necessitate that it be replicated for reliable conclusions to be deduced.

The media might present an issue as fact without verifying its truth via the appropriate channels, while the public in turn is eager to accept as fact what is presented to them, as this is much more simple than researching the issues themselves, or even simply verifying the truth of a stated fact. Furthermore, the authors hold that simply educating the public regarding issues of scientific controversy is far
Overview of Study This study used a five-chapter format to achieve the above-stated research purpose. Chapter one of the study was used to introduce the topics under consideration, provide a statement of the problem, the purpose and importance of the study, as well as its scope and rationale. Chapter two provides a critical review of the relevant and peer-reviewed literature, and chapter three more fully describes the study's methodology, including a
Real-Life case study The research informant selected is a soldier who was deployed in Iraq who is 35 years of age and who was in the army for 15 years. He suffered from drug and alcohol addiction along with post traumatic stress syndrome. At this time he is still battling both of these conditions. When interviewing him, the clear purpose of this project was stated without a doubt, and he
Translational Research Emphasis for the last thirty years has been on shifting nursing curricula out of hospitals to universities. The education of nurses is now increasingly leaning towards theory. This has led to an obvious gap between what is experienced in the practical healthcare settings by nurses and what is taught in lecture halls (Saifan, AbuRuz, & Masa'deh, 2015). Nursing practice is just one of the areas of healthcare that is experiencing
The new law has prosecuted 426 traffickers in 203 cases. These traffickers had 844 victims in that year alone. This law imposes penalties from 10 years imprisonment to life imprisonment (Kyodo). Myanmar: Effective or Not? The capacity of the national government in fighting the problem of human trafficking has been limited (UNODC 2007). It is particularly limited in implementing policy changes in remote areas where traffickers operate. Anti-trafficking groups are looking

Existing evidence indicates that past confidence in the
