@MarialeP_2020 Definitely! In fact, because the reunion was so eye-catching, I think the media could have identified similarities that were common within their cultural realm and magnified them as an exclusive similarity that was caused by the nature of the twins.
@AdrianaR2020 Definitely. I’m wondering whether it was possible for them to also have an older adoptive sibling who has specifically allocated for the purpose of the study. #lincpsych
@MariaCh48850565 Definitely. Although there is no specific insight on Eddy’s way of thinking, I could definitely imagine a negative cognitive triad taking place. Certain vulnerability factors could have triggered or influenced this. #lincpsych
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
What I would conclude from this is that nature and nurture is something that does not have two extremes. They both took a role on the behaviours and characteristics of the triplets. However, it could be that nurture took a bigger toll on mental health than nature #lincpsych
In 1:26:50, it is shown that Eddy did not have a close relationship with his father. This could mean that he did not have a confiding relationship, which is a possible vulnerability factor. #lincpsych
When they responded with "Like a lab rat" when asked how they felt, it made me realize that there must be so many other studies like these that orchestrate people's lives. Are there currently any studies like these that have recently been uncovered?#lincpsych
Minute 59, it is mentioned that the triplets all underwent psychiatric care and that they were all “really disturbed kids”. I wonder if this was a consequence of their separation (referring to nurture) or if it had more to do with their genetics (focusing on nature) #lincpsych
In Eddy’s case, it’s possible to how there are certain vulnerability and provoking factors. For example, the death of a figure who anchored his relationship with his siblings and his brother leaving the business. #lincpsych
I really can’t imagine how devastating it would feel to know that your life has been orchestrated to be a scientific experiment. This would probably be a vulnerability factor. #lincpsych
I’m really starting to wonder whether it was this exact moment (when they were told that they were a scientific experiment) that could have increased a potential risk for depression. Maybe, this could be considered an ACE? #lincpsych
I think that this would be a very interesting case to explore on the topic of mental health in individuals based on nature vs. nurture. Given that they all grew up in different social environments, similarities in mental health- (continued in response) #lincpsych
If the twins had been informed from an early age that they had two other identical siblings, would a prolonged loss of communication with them create a vulnerability factor across the years? #lincpsych
I think it would be interesting to learn more about whether growing up, perhaps during very early adolescence, they experienced similar changes in mental health due to their early separation. #lincpsych
One question I’m looking forward to would be to identify if the first ACE we’ve seen, separation at birth, takes a similar effect on all three of the twins. Even if they have the same ACE, would it take a different toll on the twins? Could this be linked to nurture? #lincpsych
I’m really curious to see how the idea of ‘Nature vs. Nurture’ takes an effect on their upcoming behaviour. So far, it was demonstrated how nature does seem to take an effect on certain parts of their actions, such as their tastes in women, the way they sit, etc. #lincpsych
