	AstroSignature: Alcoholism (Building a Control Group) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The primary concern in building an astrological control group is that you control for the non-random aspects of your experimental group.
		Your experimental group should have an even distribution of birth years covering a range that is at least equal to the orbital period of the planet in your study with the longest orbit.
		We are balancing the risk of building a control group that too tightly mirrors the experimental group and masks the effect vs. finding effects that aren't really there because the control group did not mirror the experimental group closely enough (you're measuring noise).

	Belief coercion within religious groups
		At the "low control" end might be a congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association where members are not required to believe in and follow a specific creed.
		There is one group that up to 90% of Americans believe exist: an inter-generational, underground, international Satanic conspiracy which kidnaps children, abuses them, ritually kills them, eats their flesh and drinks their blood.
		For centuries, such groups have required their members to submit to a restricted diet, work hard, spend hours in repetitive prayers, live a very simple life without luxuries, conform to the rules of the group, remain celibate, abandon smoking and drinking, etc. Such requirements within convents and monasteries have been long accepted in society.

	control group study, double-blind, random tests
		A control group study uses a control group to compare to an experimental group in a test of a causal hypothesis.
		The control and experimental groups must be identical in all relevant ways except for the introduction of a suspected causal agent into the experimental group.
		Many control group studies use a placebo in control groups to keep the subjects in the dark as to whether they are being given the causal agent that is being tested.

	Perceptual Control Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Perceptual Control Theory, or PCT, asserts that the function of behavior is the control of perception.
		Perceptions are controlled when they are brought to and kept near dynamically specified internal reference levels despite the effects of other variables that tend to disturb those perceptions.
		Control systems behave purposefully, setting goals, taking action to bring about those goal states, and taking further action to maintain those states against opposing forces.

		But the more he got involved in the group, he said, the more convinced he became the words "handgun control" were harmful and that a more moderate approach was needed.
