#lincpsych Yes! for sure. Total confirmation bias. They were probably disregarding everything that was different between them and picking those things that was similar in order to justify this new salient identity of being a triplet. These efforts creating more stress fitting in.

[SuejiK_2020 @suejik]

It’s really interesting that they kept looking for similarities and wanting to be similar. Could this be a result of identifying themselves in a social group? Could this have become their new salient identity? Being part of the triplets? #lincpsych

[Mariale Pardo @MarialeP_2020]

Yes! I agree. Those social and cognitive factors that can play a role in life are determining to how those biological pre-disposals manifest themselves.

[lucianacortes @luciana16475883]

As mentioned in the last minutes of the documentary I agree that even though both nature and nurture affect behavior, nurture at the end has more weight that nature, as environmental stressors can affect the biological factors within the triplets. #lincpsych

Adding to his predisposal to mental health problems developing these negative schemas (nurture) could have further debilitated his mental condition.

[Mariale Pardo @MarialeP_2020]

#lincpsych Having a dysfunctional relationship with his strict father and a dysfunctional childhood (not fitting in) could have made Eddy develop negative schemas (ineptness schemas, self-blame schemas, Negative self-evaluation schema)

#lincpsych Is it better for the remaining twins to not know? Would it be more damaging to know they were manipulated? Is it their right to know they have a lost brother? Is it most ethical to wait for all the twins to die to release the study?

[Mariale Pardo @MarialeP_2020]

#lincpsych the boys turned out to have different lives is because of how they were raised and despite having a tremendous amount of similarities they were still brought up in different families with different styles speak to the importance of nurture

[Mariale Pardo @MarialeP_2020]

So when Bobby left the business, this feeling of isolation and not fitting in could have possibly resurfaced further hindering his mental state.

[Mariale Pardo @MarialeP_2020]

#lincpsych the kids were placed in homes depending on their parenting styles. Unlike his brothers, Eddy had a bad relationship with his father, adding to the vulnerability factor of not having his dad to confide in and isolating him within his family

Complementing this with the ACE of separation and his genetic pre-disposal they all are possible factors in the causes of Eddy's suicide.

#lincpsych The loss of Bobby in the business could prove to be a vulnerability factor in relation to his loss of a confiding relationship with his brothers

[Adriana Rivera @AdrianaR2020]

For a very long time, the triplets didn’t know they were part of a study since it started when they were very young or that they even had other brothers so therefore they couldn’t withdrawal from the study at any point #lincpsych

[Mariale Pardo @MarialeP_2020]

As well as possibility a vulnerability factor for Eddy. Could this be a part of his decision to commit suicide?

#lincpsych The PARTICIPANTS in the study can't have access to the results #debriefing #withdrawalofparticipation

[Mariale Pardo @MarialeP_2020]

#lincpsych The longitudinal nature of the study (1960-1980) created ongoing stress for the children who were constantly interviewed and tested.

[Mariale Pardo @MarialeP_2020]

#lincpsych I think due to the repercussions of the experiment (stress of the separated children and the concealment that their parents had suffered from mental health leading to problems in the children, suicides) it cant be forgiven in the name of science

[lucianacortes @luciana16475883]

Can the ethical guidelines be bent for science, to use deception and let the parents think it was a normal study on adoptive children, would it be evil, or could it be forgiven in the name of science? #lincpsych

[Mariale Pardo @MarialeP_2020]

#lincpsych Had Eddy never met his brothers would he had also gone down a path of suicide? (because of stress factors of finding out they had been separated and being involved in the twin experiment)

[Mariale Pardo @MarialeP_2020]

#lincpsych both the birth parents and their children suffered mental health problems #geneticvulnerability Not telling the parents removed the opportunity of using therapies to help the siblings in the development of the disorder #unethical

[Mariale Pardo @MarialeP_2020]

#lincpsych similarities (same college, mannerisms, personalities, wrestlers) allow for evidence for “genetic vulnerability” and the portion nature plays/ potentially even impacting their mental health (this goes in line with why MZ twin’s concordance rate was far below 100)

[Mariale Pardo @MarialeP_2020]

#lincpsych Finding out they were part of an experiment involving their brothers could turn into a provoking agent that produces ongoing stress discovering they were manipulated. As well as growing up that proving a being ongoing stress of feeling like lab rats.

[Mariale Pardo @MarialeP_2020]

#lincpsych There are numerous violations of ethics; consent (since they were children), debriefing (they were never told about the experiment results), deception (they weren't told about their lost brothers)
