Grotesque. Some things don't need to be proven by studies and legitimately are just part of accumulated human wisdom. That repeatedly telling children negative things about themselves will get you that result should have been in that category.
Frak those guys -- I mean scientists. I would be curious to know the valuable data gained. That you can terrorize children into problems they didn't have previously?
A good question, but I would imagine that any data found through this sort of process wouldn't exactly be reliable, because you can't replicate the findings.
I think the valuable data they wanted to gain WAS that it's possible to "terrorize children into problems they didn't have previously". However highly unethical..
I'm thinking the same thing. I definitely am naturally introverted, but I've never been shy. I feel like shyness is more on the confidence spectrum, and that is something that is definitely influenced by how people raised and treated by other people. Introversion for me is just where I like to spend my time, and which activites generate energy vs draining energy.
That makes sense to me. As low self confidence seems to be a component of tribal living and group acceptance, it would make sense that there are going to be some people that are naturally low in it.
Introversion always struck me as different, but as one is a natural way of being, it seems that self confidence issues might well be another.
It's terrible when medical research gets the best of humanity like this. Luckily, we now have bioethics and its Kantian formulation. Unluckily, it's not fully clear if those considerations in medical experiments are nowadays observed beyond a surface level.
In my eyes, The Monster Study was outrageous. What a horrible thing to do to the self-confidence of those children--of course, it could not be undone. How cruel. I fail to understand what was gained by this study.
Wow that was interesting! Thank you! I didn't know of this study. Sadly many of the "best scientific" discoveries done on human subjects were down right cruel and inhumane, but from whom we still benefit today. (think Austwich and Mengele etc..) However was it worth it, when thinking about the lives they ruined? I'd say no.
Ughh, You talk about such generic nonsense; no rhyme or rhythm. JK, have fun on this platform it's more expansive than the sheer volume of adage on your quora space. Prototypical of the boring female narcissist(not npd b/w.)

Agreed
Man those poor kids. To me this illustrates the importance of being kind. Thank you for another very well written, informative article.

Maybe a similar mechanism causes children to be shy. I think people can have an introverted personality type but no one is naturally shy.
I have always wondered about that, but it seems some people are more naturally inclined to be introverted

I believe so.. I think low self confidence is made trough circumstances and experiences but introversion is more of a personality type.

I am glad you shared it.
Rather like Snow White statue blinking this story made my hair stand up and my lip snarl but not in a fun way.
Lots of unfun, but very interesting information in the world.
