I support fathers' rights and I think they SHOULD be involved in raising children but I cannot see how do these particular experiments and researches prove that even toddlers need fathers?

[evenToddlers]

@Meresortsitar

Bowlby based his discredited theory of 'maternal deprivation' on these experiments. The aim of the video is to show the flaws in this method.

Many thanks for the comment!

The point of the experiments was to show that the baby would prefer the texture likened to that of its real mother despite the fact that they received sustenance from another source. Not that an infant runs to its mother when it's afraid.

[evenToddlers]

@wheresthatcandy

Why does the monkey run to his mother?

Kingsley Miller

[BDill03]

I've seen this before. Don't know why they need to do these experiments, common sense should tell you an infant turns to it's mother for protection.

They did it on human babies too years ago.

[evenToddlers]

@BDill03,

The aim of the video, and of this evenToddlers YouTUBE channel, is to make the point that an infant may turn to his mother or father for protection, not one or the other. I hope this makes sense.

vespacurry get your head out of your ass this has nothing to do with religion or nazis or the holocaust it was a legitimate valuable experiment and you're comparing apples to oranges. None of the monkeys died as a result of the study and it brought no kind of harm to them. It was not immoral just because they evoked fear in the monkeys, fear is a good thing because with it comes the fight-or-flight response which helps an animal determine the proper course of action in a threatening situation.

[turtleswaf]

well, i think it is very interesting. you have to remember that we may see this as cruelty, but back then there wasn't anything against it.

[Pringles352]

@evenToddlers No. He based it on a whole range of theories and experiments... This is just one. Many fit, however some dont, but as in psychology, there are reasons to why some dont fit

[garan1234]

@zosothedestroyer like i said, i dont care

[zosothedestroyer]

@garan1234 ur 6 thumbs up on a fathers rights monkey video, that really makes no sense? You must be very proud of that. Ur comments at the top bud, which means people are going to reply if its fucking stupid, which it is. You should probably delete your youtube account if you can't handle people replying to your comments, regardless of when there from

[garan1234]

@zosothedestroyer congratulations on replying to my year old comment that i completely forgot about, i dont even remember what i was saying to that dumbass, i would take the time to retort something but at this point i dont even care, i think youre just jealous though of my 6 thumbs up's....slick

[zosothedestroyer]

@garan1234 let's see....he wasn't satisfied with a fake mother, so they made actual monsters out of adult monkeys..."The other monkeys were brutal or lethal. One of their favorite tricks was to crush the infant's skull with their teeth. But the really sickening behavior pattern was that of smashing the infant's face to the floor, and then rubbing it back and forth." You should try reading a book some time slick

[manifestgtr]

hahahahahhahahahaha

that little monster thing was so ridiculous looking...probably the stuff of baby monkey nightmares for years to come (assuming the monkey wasn't immediately slaughtered after the cameras were turned off as seems to be an adopted practice nowadays)

[yaztaz101]

@BDill03 back when harlow was doing these experiments, the concept of motherly love was rare, and thought of as dangerous to the child's developmental health...
