This is Dr Ahmed Suleiman on the commencement <strong>of</strong> my field test on THE<br />

PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF FEAR: A CASE STUDY OF<br />

THE HUMAN MIND AND BODY. For the purpose <strong>of</strong> this study I have acquired various…<br />

specimens. These specimens have been selected with great care, each having diverse<br />

strengths and weaknesses. They number four; two males and two females. I will attempt to<br />

study the effect <strong>of</strong> various external stimuli on their physical and mental well-being. Before I<br />

do so, however, I will attempt to clear the air, so to speak.<br />

The Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary states that ‘Fear is the bad feeling you have<br />

when you are in danger, when something bad might happen, or when something frightens<br />

you.’ This definition is apt, and will do, for the purposes <strong>of</strong> this study.<br />
