@lavieb0heme i understand that they were required to do that sort of thing back then to get proper results with their experiments, but i would hope that your not in some way insinuating that it is okay to experiment on animals because they are not human…

@MsFathole
well don’t worry, these tests were being done in the 1950’s, there’s no more need for these experiments
behaviorists such as bf skinner were saying that holding children and cuddling will cause clinging and dependence on the mother, leading them to psychological weakness. harry harlow was trying to disprove that to the world as well as the APA with this experiment, and he sure did! now we can go back to cuddling our kids again without being afraid of its consequences.

learned about this in my psychology class couple of days ago.. behavorists like bf skiner were cold, calculating robots! lol jk i’m sure that their theories were in righteous intent

@MsFathole oh okay so instead we should have children that grow up and are neglected by their parents and commit suicide? Yeah, great idea. Since one monkeys “trauma” is more important than human life. A monkey is an animal. It is not a human. This experiment radically changed parenting across the nation and across the world, allowing for better care of children… HUMAN children. I think that one monkey, in a cage to do an experiment for a few months (or even years) is worth that sacrifice.

@lavieb0heme tbh this is probably worse than physical harm, he has no contact with other monkeys, so he suffers in later life because he doesnt know how to react or behave with other monkeys, so its rather sad i must say

First of all – this particular experiment is not animal cruelty. Tell me how the monkey is being physically harmed or damaged beyond repair. Oh wait, he’s not. He’s just in a cage, drinking milk and clinging to cloth.
Go join PETA and stop whining on YouTube about a significant eye-opening psychology experiment. Go fight real animal cruelty, not harmless psychology experiments.

For all those saying his research did not prove something we did not already know: Well, how else would we confirm that what we knew was actually true?
I’m against these experiments, but I understand their importance.

While these experiments went overboard they did provide fuel for animal rights activists and helped get the laws in place for the five freedoms.
January 19th, 2011 at 10:54 pm
these experiments are inhuman. I wonder why any do not see this this is torture, not science
January 19th, 2011 at 10:56 pm
this is terribly cruel to those monkeys but I am amazed that this cruelty was being done to many many many more human babies because doctors and psychologists were advising parents not to touch, cuddle, or kiss their babies. We know better because Harlow was able to prove it. What will it take to prove that C-sections are not as good for bonding as natural birth?

@TheSpiffyGamer
I support animal research that saves more human lives than the animal lives it takes, just as I would support any human hero who gives up his life to save others. But I am morally disgusted by the amount of unnecessary and trivial animal testing that goes on. Society is not benefited by knowing how much psychological torture a monkey can endure before going insane. Surely you can understand this?
No, I guess I can’t see beyond the cruelty in this case.
January 19th, 2011 at 11:08 pm
@Andrewh313 You just cant see beond the cruelty. Thanks to animal research we have alot of medicine and knowledge theese days.

@TheSpiffyGamer
Thanks to Harry Harlow, we now know that a monkey will go insane if you lock it in a a dark box for three months. I hereby nominate him for the Nobel Prize.
January 19th, 2011 at 11:47 pm
@Andrewh313 Why his research was important?

@SinicalToaster This is still done today
