The Love Experiment
PS-124 Intro to Psychology
Harry Harlow conducted an experiment on baby rhesus monkeys. The laboratory experiment has
two different artificial mothers. One artificial mother was made of wire and provided sustenance,
the other artificial mother was made of a soft towel and provided no sustenance. He observed
that the monkey would go to “wire mother” for food but would spend much of its time with the
“cloth mother. " When the monkeys were placed in an unfamiliar environment alone, the monkey
did not respond well, it yelled, screamed, and clutched itself for security. Harlow placed the
“wire mother” into the same environment with the monkey, it showed no improvement but when
he placed the “cloth mother” into the environment with the monkey, it ran to the “cloth mother”
clutching it, instantaneously calming (Harlow, H., Dodsworth, R., Harlow, M. 1965). The
monkeys consider the “cloth mother” to be the most like a mother. There were some monkeys
taken away from the birth mother and placed in isolation between 3 and 12 months. The
monkeys were kept in isolation the least amount of time had the ability to coexist with other
monkeys once placed back into a social environment (Harlow, H., Dodsworth, R., Harlow, M.
1965). It was the monkeys who were kept in isolation for extensive amounts of time and having
never formed any kind of attachment that were permanently damaged. They did not have the
ability to socialize with the other monkeys when placed back with the others. They would harm
themselves and try to self-soothe by rocking, one monkey even died of starvation. It was
Harlow's goal to test the attachment theory and my question would have been, was it sustenance
or love that would sustain the monkeys and help them to develop in a healthy way. Harlow
concluded that early in life, the monkeys with maternal deprivation are socially and emotionally
