Strange
its ethical, every child experiences this all the time. They dont show you insecure children only secure ones, thats ethical also. Dont see any problems here.
Oh… that is also true…
actually this isnt based on every day life of a baby, although these sequences are normal, all of them happening 1 after the other is extremely rare, therefore lacking ecological validity (real-world relevance )
i’m honestly not kidding, emotional intelligence would permit from doing so, scientific rationalising however might villify me, oh well.
You’re kidding, right?
disgraceful, scientists finding out stuff we all already know by playing with kids minds, disgraceful. Could science please try and catch up with the rest of us. I find this totally immoral practise, its the same as when we induce children to tears for tv programmes, its wrong and no-one will ever make me see it differently. There is no such thing as objective analysis. Why the hell would anyone need ,want or strive for it? Fundamental point that all scientists miss, but needs answering.
dear lord… by reading some of the comments… i really sorry for you people. as if you never left your baby in the room so it will go to sleep and then he start crying. so you go back and calm it down. whats the big deal? this experiment has no ethical problems at all, its acually based on every day life of a normal baby. and if you evoide this, well… your baby wont really grow up so normally.
yes. especially since the parent is only one room away. if the kids get too distressed to the point where the researchers (who have spent hundreds of hours observing kids, they know when too far is too far) know the kid’s in hysterics and isn’t just bawling for the sake of bawling, then it’s obvious to them to let the parent back in.
It is just like a babysitting experience, not very traumatic after the first few times
There are very important safeguards in place when this procedure is used in research. I can’t speak for the video because I don’t know the source, but reputable researchers who use the strange situation are very careful with the children. All institutions use Human Subjects committees to ensure the safety of the participants, and all of the psychological journals ensure that the studies that they publish have been conducted under the auspices of such an oversight group.
The way the baby identifies safety with the mother is truly amazing
yes the meta analysis of van den Dries,
van IJzendoorn, Marinus H. ans so on. well it is true that the BPS are constantly changeing the rules on ethics. however they are only guidlines so it doesnt restrict a psychologist from doing this study aniway, they would merely be booted out of the society. i was wondering if this study has been re- done today?.
I’m only a A/S level Psychology so by no means am I an expert but there was a meta-analysis study on cultural variations of attachment. There were a huge amounts of studies among 8 or 9 different countries. I imagine if they wanted to do it today to see if the results are specific to time periods as well as culture, they would be allowed but it’s a good point. Where is the line between ethical and unethical and how far can the boundaries be pushed in the modern day?
yes certainly zimbardo wouldnt be allowed today, but would the strange situation?
That’s definitely a discussion point but don’t worry. These experiments face rigid analysis by psychological governing bodies and it is deemed safe and ethical, which by todays standards mean that the participants should not experience any psychological harm. Experiments like Zimbardo’s, Milgram’s and Harlow’s studies are the ones that I’ve learnt about which have real ethical issues and probably wouldn’t be allowed today.
Using this to study for my Developmental Psychology exam,thanks!And although it may be awful to see the baby crying, it is an important way of examining attachment and relationships, how else are we to know? Saying it is unethical is like saying its wrong to have a child crying when you’re putting it to bed, babies cry, we’re just finding out what upsets them
Don’t be fool. The baby won’t have any repercussion after this experience. Babies cry also when their parents don’t change theri nappy or when they leave them at school. Are these traumatic experiences???
not ver ethnical
that baby must have been scared to death..listen to her crying
