Blind Study in the psychology context refers to a research design in which the participants (and sometimes the researchers) are unaware of certain critical aspects of the study, such as the specific treatment or intervention they are receiving. This approach is used to prevent bias in the research findings, ensuring that the results are more objective and reliable.

Blood in the psychology context primarily refers to its symbolic and metaphorical significance rather than its biological or medical aspects. Blood can represent various psychological themes such as life, vitality, kinship, violence, trauma, and emotional intensity.
