Dr. Bloedorn is a health psychologist who researches nutrition. She is curious as to whether a new drink additive will help peop

le consume fewer calories during a meal. The drink additive is a white, odorless, tasteless powder that a person can add to any drink. She plans to collect a random sample of 50 overweight students on campus and measure the calories they eat during lunch, using a calorimeter. She plans to give this additive to the same participants to use at lunch a few days later and measure how many calories they eat (again, using the calorimeter).
The addition of a group that does not use the drink additive but adds a similar-looking substance that they think is the additive would help Dr. Bloedorn address which of the following threats to internal validity?
a. Testing threat
b. Observer bias
c. Instrumentation
d. Placebo effects

A few days ago I was preforming in a practice right before a play. My friends were around me and my crush was near me. Once we finished our rolls we all climbed down the stairs from a stage. People were pushing us trying to get down and see their family, and I was tripping and jumped to save myself. I still could not catch my balance and hit my nose on the wall. Everyone giggled and the director ran back stage and screamed "What was THAT?!" I was very embarrassed and ended up having a headache. I think the reason this happened is I did not want to sc rew up in front of my family and ended up embarrassing myself further thinking about it. Now my nose is swollen and very unflattering. I had the rest of the night to think about this and my friends came and comforted me.

What are the elements of intentional infliction of emotional distress
coldgirl [10]

Answer: The intentional infliction of emotional distress has four elements

(1) The defendant must act intentionally or recklessly.

(2) The defendant's conduct must be extreme and outrageous:

(3) The defendants act is the cause of the distress

(4) Plaintiff suffers severe emotional distress as a result of defendant's conduct.

Explanation:

Intentional or reckless act: It is not necessary that an act be intentionally offensive. A reckless disregard for the likelihood of causing emotional distress is sufficient.

Extreme and outrageous conduct:

The conduct must be horrible and beyond the standards of civilized decency or utterly intolerable in a civilized society. Whether the conduct is illegal does not determine whether it meets this standard.

Cause of the distress: The actions of the defendant must have actually caused the plaintiff's emotional distress beyond the bounds of decency.

Plaintiff suffers severe emotional distress as a result of defendant's conduct: This standard is quantified by the intensity, duration, and any physical manifestations of the distress.
