in the end, the researchers came to the conclusion we know: your biology can impact who you are just as much as your sociocultural environment, as both have an effect on your cognitive patterns #lincpsych
that's heartbreaking. if the boys had been prevented from adverse childhood experiences, or if they had been raised together, the negative pattern may have been stopped before it was too late #lincpsych
Knowing that the mother had psychological conditions, something that is at least in part genetic, and then still separating the twins is SO concerning, like just NO. #lincpsych
Yes I agree, especially considering the psychological repercussions the parents may have faced at believing they had a role in the separation of these children, even if it was unconscious. #lincpsych
How much are people willing to sacrifice to answer the nature or nurture argument? The answer is both and some knowledge are not worth the cost of the research. #lincpsych
The ethical violations become even worse with the fact that the study was never published. At that point it wasn’t even for the sake of science or human knowledge, there was no benefit to putting the triplets through this. #lincpsych
Ok epic violation of ethical considerations: protection from harm, signed consent, debriefing, right to withdrawal... they were all disregarded #lincpsych
@2020Majo@FerM_2020 I think that over dramatizing all these things definitely makes for better entertainment. Especially since the guys became kind of famous when they were 19, they got used to playing this role of having such similar behaviors. #lincpsych
@rekham_20 Well all three of them are identical and identical triplets are actually super rare because a single embryo had to have divided twice... #lincpsych
How much of this has been affected by reconstructive memory? I definitely think the way they’re telling the story has been affected by a few retelling psych or just what happened after. #lincpsych
