A case study with an individual who has insensitivity to pain syndrome showed the person has fewer pain receptors than normal. Scientists conclude that insensitivity to pain syndrome is caused by a reduced number of pain receptors. This conclusion violates a number of things you know about case studies. Why is this conclusion problematic?

▸ Case studies should not be generalized to a larger population.

▸ The control group in the study was not randomly selected.

▸ Case studies do not typically reveal important information.

▸ A case study is not an appropriate research method when studying one individual.
