How is his daughter doing? I heard she grew up quiet "normal". What is normal anyway? Don't you think it would considered child abuse nowadays? In fact, some psychology experimental researches, to me, seems somewhat abusive - poorly considered subjects emotions and its long term effect. And call it science of pshychology. Here's another example: Just look the boy who was raised as a girl. They knew that boy would grow up someday and deal with other people in the society, not that he could live forever in the controlled environment. No wonder it fell apart. My heart goes out for that boy and his family.

As the previous poster stated, Skinner didn't raise his daughter in a skinners box. He build a safer crib using plexiglass, instead of bars. His family says that he was a very warm and loving father.

Have you even READ the study of the Skinner's Box experiment?
It did provide valuable insight into the struggle between morality and compassion vs self-preservation.
