Connection of Body Temperature with Fear of Rides

Abstract

The present study was done in order to evaluate connection between body temperature and fear of rides. About 120 disciples of Baha Uddin Zakariya University took part in this study. Isothermal, also known as the normal temperature of body is one of the most important factors in maintaining the metabolic activities of the body that are vital for life. It normal value is 37 °C. It can be measured by using mercury thermometer [1]. It is measured on certain body positions like forehead, mouth and rectum. Fear of rides is common among people who have other phobias like claustrophobia, acrophobia etc. Those people whose body temperature is 97 are more afraid of rides as compared to those people who have low body temperature.
