The way I feel about this experiment is that it is crucial. Although it is an experiment,the…
Chapter 6 discussed the distinct characteristics of primates and how they compare to other mammals and the text highlights some specific traits to consider. Along with arboreal adaptation-or the ability to live in trees- and diet plasticity, primates also practice parental investment. Instead of having hundreds or thousands of offspring, primates will invest more time and attention to a very small number of offspring that are smarter, more socially involved, and have greater chances of reaching maturity. There are a few defining characteristics of parental investment; the first being fertility. Like humans, primates will mostly give birth to one offspring at a time; occasionally two or three.…
In my opinion, Jane Elliott’s experiment of dividing her class by eye color is brilliant. Before the experiment, Elliott asked several questions to the kids and listened to their responses. I have to keep telling myself this is 1968, but still, I was baffled by some of their answers. In these young 3rd graders minds, it is completely acceptable to not give mutual respect to someone else based on their skin color. After Jane Elliott proposed the idea to split the class by eye color, the room became suddenly unsure of this situation.…
1. Write a narration of the figure describing the results of the experiment. Explain why the rabbits are emaciated in groups 1 and 2. (Please note: What Dr. Trudeau called Experiments 1, 2, and 3 are more like what modern scientists would call treatment groups 1, 2, and 3, and that terminology is used in Figure 1. • Based on Figure 1 survival graph, the rabbit in treatment group 1 which was artificially infected, and placed in a controlled environment is thin. Also, on the third month of the experiment, there is only one rabbit left out of the five rabbits in this group.…
As long as we have lived, it is easy to be cruel and for any of us to be at fault. Quoted from the article, “If we fully apprehend the true cause of cruelty, we are also forced to recognize just how easy it is to prey to it.” An example to go along to this quote comes from Mrs. Elliott’s class experiment. Mrs. Elliott’s young children were being discriminated against, just because of having different color eyes. Young children were being treated differently just because of the way they looked.…
Psychologist Mary Ainworth developed a theory on the importance of the varying types of attachment between caregiver and child through experimental research in 1969. Ainworth created an assessment technique known as the Strange Situation Classification or SSC. The Strange Situation Classification was tested on infants, (mostly one to two year olds) and it demonstrated the responses of infants when separated from their mothers. The experiment was held in a room with a mother, baby and a complete stranger. They are eight steps of procedure, each lasting three minutes.…
Bowlby’s maternal deprivation is backed up with by Harlow’s research with monkey’s. A criticism of this research is that can we really compare monkeys to humans. Bowlby only looked at the separation of a child from their mother’s and no other care givers. He also did not research or consider the children he studied later in life. I agree that the need to form an attachment with a sole care-giver is biological because of the things we have in practise today for example children in nurseries are giving key workers to build a secure relationship with.…
The essay “Embraced by the Needle” by Gabor Mate is about people with addiction caused by not only taking the drug but also the feeling of abandonment or neglect. Gabor Mate is a doctor who was working as a staff physician at the Portland Hotel and taking care of patients who suffer from drug addiction and mental illness. Mate has also his personal experiences about people who have issues with drug abuse. Mate estimated from his experience with his clients and studies that there are 3,000 to 5,000 people with addictions in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (Mate, 2016). Then, Mate gives some statistics and the experiences of the patients with addition to show his arguments about the reasons behind addiction.…
Jekyll anxiously awaited the arrival of Saturday evening for he intended to present himself as both the genial, familiar doctor and the smaller, younger stranger. If things went wrong concerning the draught and it failed, or the results were delayed, or the effects could not be reversed... which such risks in mind did he resolve to perform a test prior to the eve’s commencement. He laid a child-sized suit upon his mattress and arranged a group of flasks and other equipment in a semicircular fashion upon the nightstand. “Now,” he uttered, having shut the door, “is the moment to prove to myself the merit of this experiment.” Firm in his resolution, Jekyll poured a few centilitres of the green liquid into a graduated flask, added a scoop of salt,…
The Experiment In a laboratory in an abandoned city near the Coast of Hawaii. There was two scientist one was an expert on animal’s health and his name Dr. Wayne, and the other scientist is Dr.Wells who is an expert on animal’s behavior and was leading this experiment. There was three animals one was an eagle, the second was a lion, and the last was a scorpion. They were experimenting on them so we can save these three species and they were one of the last of its kind.…
On the first day of the experiment she made the brown eyed students wear collars to distinguish them between as brown and blue eyed. Furthermore, on the second day she switched the collars so that the blue eyed would wear the collars instead of the brown eyed. She told the superior group that they were not allowed to talk to the inferior group, did not have to drink out of a cup rather than the fountain and had extra…
Scientist Thorne is someone who actually uses many of the 6 tenets in order to conduct her study of children. In Thorne’s experiment she ventures into the lunchroom in order to gather information and observe the children. In her study she sees that the children separated themselves based off what type of lunch they were eating and who they sat next to. At the lunch table, labels did not matter, only what they brought ot the table, both literally and figuratively. This happens to be an example of the second tenet.…
In chapter six of Opening Skinner's Box, "Monkey Love" Lauren Slater begins by introducing us to psychologist Harry Harlow. Harlow was known as a difficult, disrespectful man, but was also known to be very devoted and was mainly known for experimenting with monkeys and the way they expressed their feelings regarding attachment (Slater 132). Slater explains in great detail Harlow's approach towards the monkeys, he had no feelings for them and could care less what pain they endured during the experiments as long as he received the results he was aiming for. According to Harlow who believed monkeys were nothing but property he could publish for self recognition and concluded them to be a huge significance in the world of psychology, witnessing…
The study of primates is not as simple and straightforward as one might initially believe. Theirs’ is a complex world of interaction. In many ways highly similar to that of humans. This intricacy has led to the need for scientists to redefine what being human truly means. For upon studying primates a social milieu was revealed.…
Able et al. (2001) have conducted research on various sleeping arrangements in different ethnic groups; Pakeha, Maori, Pacific people which include Tongan, Samoan, Cook Islander and Niuean with their infants under 12 month in New Zealand. This essay focuses on the comparison in infant sleeping arrangements among different culture. Moreover, further discussion of attachment theory in which mainly focusing on Ainsworth (1979) research findings and a hypothesis on relationships between maternal behavior and infant behavior with its effect on various sleeping arrangements.…
