| Abstract: | Comments on the articles of S. Plous (see records 84-20622 and 84-09797) on attitudes toward the use of animals in psychological research and education by noting that what makes this issue so controversial and perplexing concerns whether psychologists support animal research that involves pain or death. It is also questioned whether psychologists view the use of animals in psychological research as beneficial, noting that Plous found that 92.2% of psychologists who were mental health workers indicated they they rarely, never, or only occasionally used findings from psychological research on animals.
