The Sackett self-selection circus is an apparatus used in experimental psychology with non-human primates. It is a space divided into compartments containing objects; the time an animal spends with each object is measured, indicating an amount of fear or anxiety of those objects.[1] For example, see the "Methods" section of Rehousing Nonreproductive Rhesus Macaques with Weanlings.
