Its the principle that animals (including humans) bond most with those that alternately are kind and cruel to them.

The experiment used monkeys in 3 groups.

  1. Group 1 were just treated cruelly by their surrogate mother
  2. Group 2 were just treated kindly by their surrogate mother
  3. Group 3 were treated cruelly or kindly, in a random manner

Then the results were:

  1. Group 1 had no bond
  2. Group 2 had a normal bond
  3. Group 3 had the strongest bond

These (worrying) results imply that the strongest allegiance is obtained by being capriciously cruel and kind, like some barbaric tyrant.

Additional notes:

(a) I do not know if that 3rd group had also become neurotic, which is what you would expect.

(b) I don't know if this has also been related to the Stockholm syndrome in terrorist hostages.
