The number of items in the article is emotional experiences and how they are expressed in different individuals, the variation of the emotional expression concerning social, gender, and cultural relationship. These items stood out because there is a great variation in how different genders, religions, and people of different social backgrounds express emotion. The empirical research revealed these items on gender, religion, and social life.

He also examined the appropriateness in which different individuals express emotions to people of different relationships. The study also examined the appropriateness of feeling and the act of expressing basic emotions regarding religion and cultural background. (DeLeersnyder & Boiger (2016). The author hypothesis that there is a meaningful relationship between the expression of emotion and feelings. The author also hypothesis that there is a variation in the expression of emotions in different social relationships.

Items that stood out in the study
The number of items in the article is emotional experiences and
how they are expressed in different individuals, the variation of
the emotional expression concerning social, gender, and cultural
relationship. These items stood out because there is a great
variation in how different genders, religions, and people of
different social backgrounds express emotion. The empirical
research revealed these items on gender, religion, and social
life. The researcher wanted to know the roles these three items
play in individual emotions and how they are expressed between
different individuals.
What did the authors of the study you selected examine in their
research? What did they hypothesize and why (rationale)?
The author examined how often people face basic and secondary
emotions in the study. He also examined the appropriateness in
2. which different individuals express emotions to people of
different relationships. The study also examined the
appropriateness of feeling and the act of expressing basic
emotions regarding religion and cultural background.
(DeLeersnyder & Boiger (2016). The author hypothesis that
there is a meaningful relationship between the expression of
emotion and feelings. The author also hypothesis that there is a
variation in the expression of emotions in different social
relationships. The author's rationale indicated that different
individuals have separate ways of accepting various aspects
related to emotions, and their ways of expressing themselves
vary from one person to another.

Meaningful findings the authors
The researcher found that regarding the experience of basic and
secondary emotions, there were significant effects from gender.
Thus, it indicated that different genders had a difference in the
feelings of anger, shyness, sadness, and pleasure. The research
found that female experiences sadness more as compared to
males. Concerning anger, it was found that males feel more
anger than females. Based on the level of pleasure and shyness,
the research found that female experiences more pleasure and
shyness than men. Based on the aspect of expressing basic and
3. secondary emotion, it was found that male’s express anger more
than females, while females’ express shyness more than males.
Regarding emotional expression based on social relationship,
the research found a meaningful relationship that differs from
the appropriateness of emotional expression. It was found that
the acts of the individual expressing their sadness to their
spouse are extremely high.
Limitation to the study
The limitation of this study is that the sampling number used is
small. Only fifty-four participants were used in this study; thus,
this research could be subject to biasness. This could have given
a misleading result as this number is too little to be used as the
representative of Sri Lanka and the western province.
How do the findings from this study help you better understand
the content from this week?
There are several things that I can appreciate from the finding
of the study. I can appreciate that different individual
experiences emotions differently and have diverse ways of
expressing them. I can also appreciate that there is a variation
in the expression of emotions concerning social relationships. I
am now better at understanding the aspects of sadness, anger,
and pleasure in different genders. I can now appreciate that we
have expressed our emotions based on our social relationships
with the different parties. This study has played a critical role
in understanding myself better and my friends.
Part 2
The study's hypothesis stated that non-pharmacology therapy is
an appropriate therapy for ADHD Compared to Methylphenidate
stimulant therapy for children aged 4-6 years. The limitation of
the study was the environment in which the study was
conducted could result in biased results. This is because the
classroom environment may be a high stimulation for the
children. It may arise distractions that may result in poor results
during the evaluation process. Another limitation is that a
person collecting the data may affect performance. This
4. limitation can be avoided by educating the parent and teacher
on the criteria for scoring the student. In addition, participants
can be taken to classrooms where they are unfamiliar with their
teachers.
