But rather, they focus to extract some scientifically logical reasons for the discrimination occurring at workplaces (Posner, 1987). This proves that it is indeed very difficult to measure the extent of discrimination at work places easily and directly. Fortunately, the method of field experiment give the researchers, the chance ... to measure the extent of discrimination through direct means.

The truth is ... , which confirms a strong correlation between listening to Mozart, and increased spatial-task performance.
