Answer:

Sensory adaptation

Explanation:

Sensory adaptation is the phenomenon which occurs when sensory receptors become exposed to the stimuli for a much longer period of time.

Depending on type of the stimulus, the receptors may decrease or increase the ability to respond, and as a consequence, will develop diminished or enhanced to stimulus.

<u>The given example is a case of sensory adaptation. In this case, the receptors decrease their ability to respond to the cold.</u>

Psychologists use the scientific approach to study human behavior, attitudes and emotions. there is this preconceived idea that
Vikentia [17]

Critical thinking could be used in this example to actively engage with the proposition and propose an alternative or another proposition. Maybe in my own life experience I've known women who drive better than man, so I already have first hand example of how this is a misbelieve, but in order to prove this i have to go a step further.

---

Skepticism should refrain us from making statement from things we don't know yet. The proposition is a generality and thus already tell us that is a prejudice, but moreover when we are talking about things without having knowledge is a good scientific practise to step back and know the argument before speaking.

---

Objectivity is what we should aim when examine datas and proposition. Once we have the data, we could objectevely tell if this proposition respects the truth or not. Some importance should also be given to the motivation and the qualitative data, and not only the raw quantitative data, as reading and analyse only one type could lead to more misunderstading.  

---

Curiosity is what we should always bring to the table in everyday matter. In the proposition, we could step back and ask why this is a well consolidates rumour, or why are the reasons behind this saying. Curiosity should be the driven to explain the world in a more complex and rich way comparing to the way other people may live.

---

Other examples of proposition that could be examine by the scientific approach are almost endless. "Women are not good at STEM fields" for example, or "Men generally are more qualified leaders". It is possible to argue that every proposition could be examine in a scientific approach, and maybe we all should do it so.

Olenka [21]
The major breakthrough in the study of dreams came in 1953 when researchers Eugene Aserinsky and Nathaniel Kleitman studied and discovered what happens when a person falls asleep.They found  that the body enters into a psycho-physiological state in intervals of 90 minute cycles during sleep. This physiological state consists of heightened brain activity, Rapid Eye Movement (REM), increased breathing, a temporary paralysis of  the body and genital engorgement. Through experiments, they confirmed that these physiological observations were the result of the person being  in the dream state.

(b) Explain four advantages of co-education.<br>​
pickupchik [31]

Explanation of Advantages:

Co-education has many advantages in education. It is important in many aspects, including the following:

There is more diversity in a classroom setting of co-education, providing more experiences and perspectives for the class to judge and learn from.

There are fewer buildings needed when operating under co-education because classes are not split into multiple schools, lowering the cost of maintenance of a school (electrical maintenance, custodial maintenance).

Fewer teachers and staff at a school are needed with co-education. Larger groups of students are able to learn together, in the same classroom, meaning that an educator can teach more students under co-education standards than an educator in a separate education context. This lowers the cost of pay for teachers, and each individual teacher can have a larger salary. With fewer educators, fewer interviews for positions of teachers are needed, saving a school board more time (which they can use to evaluate other important aspects).

Additionally, students of different sexes will have the same background information needed to learn at a higher level. Standards set across one co-ed school are going to be more consistent within their classes, as opposed to two different classes, comprised of separated students, and different teachers. This makes it easier to continue education, as more opportunities are open to all people.

Ultimately, there is a stronger connection and mutual respect between students of diverse backgrounds, and empathy between diverse groups is established, allowing brighter futures for humanity.

Because mass communication theories are created by people, and therefore influenced by human biases, the times in which we live,
Darya [45]
We can say that these theories are human constructions.
These theories were constructed, or created by humans, which makes them human constructions. They didn't exist before humans made them - they weren't previously part of nature around us. Rather we created them to suit our own needs and to make us understand life in general.
