across research subjects (expert meditators) Explanation: i.e. "subjects" are the people who are being studied here -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2019-05-05 13:31:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or less ambiguous perhaps: (HUMAN) SUBJECTS OF THE RESEARCH BEING CONDUCTED -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 mins (2019-05-05 13:40:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- here is a definition about what constitutes a hunam subject https://embryo.asu.edu/pages/45-cfr-46-protection-human-subj... "living individual about whom an investigator (whether professional or student) conducting research obtains (1) data through intervention or interaction with the individual, or (2) identifiable private information." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 mins (2019-05-05 13:44:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ACROSS> over the range/scope of subjects (possibly taking a high/low/average or mean in results) I really wish you'd make your question more clear when asking where is "across subjects design" in the context you've given? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2019-05-05 23:06:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "across subjects design" has a different meaning to "across subjects" (without design). BUT since it's not in the text and not your question anyway there's no point in discussing further. No point in getting the two meanings tangled. And yes, you can ask about one term in the heading, as long as you include the full context in the rest of the question. And here that's vital as the writing can be so fuzzy. I already gave you my reading of "across" in this context. I'll repeat ACROSS> OVER the ENTIRE range of human subjects in the research study and no, it doesn't necessarily have to be a large-scale study. Just that across means it takes research data on ALL (human) subjects being studied into account. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs (2019-05-06 11:35:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- original research done on "expert meditators" with future research to be carried out on those using The Wheel to see if results match... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days 8 hrs (2019-05-07 21:34:20 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Glad to have helped |
