Answer:

a. Mass hysteria

Explanation:

Mass hysteria In sociology and psychology, is a phenomenon that transmits collective illusions of threats, whether real or imaginary, through a population in society due to what they heard (rumors) and/or fear.

In medicine, mass hysteria can be said to be the spontaneous manifestation or production of chemicals in the body that makes you have the same or similar hysterical physical symptoms by a two or more people.

That is to say, you begin to feel as though you re sick or that you have a physical injury that the other person has, when In reality you do not have these things.

An Example of mass hysteria occurs when a group of people believe they are suffering from a similar disease or ailment, it is also called mass psychogenic illness or epidemic hysteria.

mylen [45]

the internal validity is still manipulated by the researcher and the DV is measured.

The DV is a variable that is being measured/observed, whereas the IV is a variable that is altered to see how it impacts something else. The term "dependent" refers to the idea that the IV will have an impact on the DV.

<h3>What parallels exist between studies conducted in a lab and those conducted in the field?</h3>

Since experiments are the only way to reliably establish causality, laboratory and field experiments are comparable in that they are both helpful in determining cause and effect. Furthermore, because there is a high level of control over confounding variables, the two experiment designs have the potential to have high internal validity.
