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 />
