Field setting is defined as any naturally occurring environment in which scientists conduct research.
Field test is defined as a test of physical performance performed in the field or natural setting/environment, that is outside the laboratory ).
Field theory refers to the branch of Physics that studies how energy distributes itself within physical systems. In some systems, such as the solar system, energy can distribute itself freely. In other systems such as an electric circuit, energy must pass through wires, condensers, resistors, and so forth. However, in either type of system, energy will always distribute itself in the simplest, most symmetrical way possible under the circumstances. According to the Gestaltists, the brain is a physical system whose activity could be understood in terms of Field theory.
Fight-or-Flight response refers to physiological changes in the human body that occur in response to a perceived threat, including the secretion of glucose, endorphins, and hormones as well as the elevation of heart rate, metabolism, blood pressure, breathing, and muscle tension. It is a physiological reaction to threat that mobilizes an organism for attacking (fight) or fleeing (flight) an enemy. Moreover, Fight-or-Flight response is a response to threat in which the body is rapidly aroused and motivated via the sympathetic nervous system and the endocrine system to attack or flee a threatening stimulus; the response was first described by Walter Cannon in 1932.
Fight-or-Flight theory refers to Walter Cannon ’s theory of stress hypothesizing that organism’s respond to stressful events with a nervous system activation that prepares them to actively engage the stressor. The body essentially is energized to either fight the stressor or flee; Cannon’s theory of stress explaining physiological responses in our body
