Let's say you're testing a new drug to see if it helps with depression. We'll have 200 people split into two groups of 100 each. The first 100 people get the new pill, while the remaining 100 people get a placebo (sugar pill). Each participant does not know whether they are taking the actual drug or the sugar pill. This is important.

The control group is the group of people taking the sugar pill. This is to counterbalance the experimental group that takes the actual drug. If we just had one group, say the experimental group, then we wouldn't be able to compare those results against anything else.

Now let's say that everyone, in both groups, reported better moods and more positive attitude. This would strongly imply that the new drug is not effective because people who took the sugar pill got better. In other words, the sugar pill is as effective if not more so compared to the new drug. It may be the sugar pill, the psychology of taking any pill, or some other factors that contributed to those people getting better.

If only the people in the experimental group got better, then we could conclude that the drug is effective in some way. Again, we're making a comparison between the two groups, and the control group is used to reduce the placebo effect.

Some artisans' support of the Constitution changed as They opposed it at first, but then decided it would protect them from violent revolts and allow them to get more education and become more successful. Therefore option D is the correct resposne.

<h3>Who are Artisans?</h3>

An artisan is a competent craftsperson who produces all or most of the material goods they use by hand.

An artisan is someone who uses their hands and traditional methods to make one-of-a-kind, useful, and/or decorative objects. Craftsmen who are masters of their trade produce goods like garments, toys, tools, and furniture.

A guild, usually called a gild, is a group of merchants or craftspeople together for mutual defense and support as well as the advancement of their own fields of expertise. Between the 11th and 16th centuries, guilds developed in Europe and played a significant role in the continent's economy and social structure.

How does the author develop the idea that consequences affect decision-making over the course of the article?

Sati [7]

Answer:

The author says that decision making is a system that is dependant of the result and the results we obtain will orient our ideology to a resilient positive one or a pessimist one,

Explanation:

Consequences affect decision-making because they are the outcome of the critic reasoning habilities, the self-esteem, the judgment value abilities, and the resilience we develop a product of this interaction. If we have good results, then we will develop a positive orientation to it, however, if we obtain bad results they will also impact our perception and depending on our resilience we could develop a pessimist or negative orientation about our decision making. The amount of success we obtain is related to the confidence we have, as well as the drive or motivation we have to follow strategies to achieve our goals.
