Rats in Cages vs. Rat Park Experiment
In the 1970s, concerns about drug addiction, particularly among soldiers, led to a study comparing rats kept in traditional small cages to those in a larger, more stimulating environment called Rat Park. Rats in Rat Park had little interest in morphine-laced water compared to caged rats who readily consumed it. The study suggested that social isolation played a significant role in addiction, highlighting the impact of environment on behavior. This emphasizes the importance of considering environmental factors in understanding addiction.
