Harry Harlow's experimentations
Sort:
I'm really interested in experimentations of every kind.
Recently I learned about Harry Harlow's experimentations about love and attachment.
He wanted to see what would happen if he isolates baby monkeys for days, months or years then put them back in a social environment.
The results were that when they were back in a social environment, they were aggressive, refusing the contact other monkeys, isolating themselves, doing emotional anorexia ,no sexval drive even just for m@sturbation.
All of this felt really familiar to me.
My grandma was abusive with me when I was a baby. She was often locking me in rooms for hours
I remember as a kid that I couldn't stand other people. Between my 3 and 11 year I was doing all I could do to stay away from others. Even now, I try hard to not isolate myself.
I have a lot of emotional anorexia problems
I'm 15 and like most of the teenagers of my age, I should start to have sexval interest and m@sturbate. But no. I feel nothing about it, I tried to m@sturbate but I just felt nothing. I hate physical contact.
(I DO NOT WANT to see stuff like"ARE YOU OKAY?", I need you to analyze all of it for the next questions)
So I saw an interesting link between this experimentation and my personal experience .Both are about social isolation.
So what do you think about it?
Do you think that there's a true causality between what I lived and who I'm now?
What are the results we should expect if we do this experimentation on humans?
If you had been a victim of an abuse like mine, how do you interact with others?
Yeah, I know probably nobody will comment because people don't have the patience to read anything.
