This seems counterintuitive to me. A LOWER educational level of the parents correlated to a HIGHER rate of success of escape, it seems.

Replace "discomfort" with "trauma", especially once they find out that their parents heard them crying but decided not to come.

#45a higher rate of success being associated with fewer years of education attained by mother and father combined. Tell me more - is that statistically significant? Causes? Related to Reading age? The bit that worries me is the percentage of children who locked in the fridge just waited and cried.
Pure speculation: could be that poor kids were more likely to have dealt with similar problems or even just to have dealt with similar levels of suffering, and therefore respond with a little more short-term resilience. Not like anyone can do follow-ups on this research any more.
A modest proposal:
Places like Syria seems to not only torture dissidents but also their children -- and the regime need cash because of all the sanctions.
The Syrian Bath party was even inspired by the nazis, so there is precedent for getting experimental data.
(Sorry about this, sometimes my humor disgusts me too.)

Please . As if no emotionally healthy kid ever spent more than three minutes alone in the dark, after waking from a nightmare for instance. And why the hell would they find out? A post-study review in which they are told "mommy and daddy hate your guts"?
