The ethical implications of using different research methods in theories of attachment





What are the eithical implications of the strange situation by Ainsworth and Bell, the case studie of Genie, Harlows monkeys etc.

The ethical implications of using different research methods in theories of attachment?
In the strange situation study - it caused distress to at least some of the children - and you could argue they wanted the situation to go away (the experiment to stop) but it didn't - restriction of the right to withdraw.





If the monkey is the one I'm thinking off, I think it's just distress to the monkey.
Reply:the ethical implications of Harlow monkeys was that today that experiment would not be allowed to be carried out as it was confusing and distressing for the baby monkeys. Micheal Eysenck book is a simple read for this psychology for as level. the strange situation is similar and only served to strengthen bowblys theories of attachment. know this doesn't give a real answer but hope it helps you go in the right direction.good luck xx
