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 ..

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 Michael A.
