Abstract
Other contributors to this volume have described intriguing evidence about possible biological substrata for attachment and affiliative behaviors. Such evidence suffers from being of necessity correlational. A statement of John Dobbing’s (1968) in reference to research on the behavioral effects of malnutrition is applicable here:
Even the most sophisticated multifactorial analysis is no substitute for the experimental testing of hypotheses, and this can only be done with animals. It should be self-evident that experimental animal and human field studies must interdigitate if any conclusions are to be reached before the end of the present interglacial period. (p. 294)
