The _original_ was Brady, 1958 Scientific American .... the "executive" monkey 
study. In this study those that _had_ control developed ulcers ... other 
studies dealt with predictability. It is my understanding the original Brady 
study had design issues ..

Subject: [tips] Stressed out Monkeys 

Does anybody remember? What was that study in which monkeys were slightly 
shocked - one monkey knew when the shock was coming but the other one received 
the exact same number of shocks but didn't know when it was coming? The latter 
monkey showed more signs of stress, indicating that this element of 
unpredictability was really the important factor in stressful events? 

Anyone know the original study on this? appreciate it, 

Michael
