spent most of his career researching how and why people are transformed into certain situations so that they behave in unexpected ways, such as when a good person commits an atrocious act, or an intelligent person does something irrational. The Stanford Prison Experiment is Dr. Zimbardo’s ‘attempt to understand the process of transformation at work when good or ordinary people do bad or evil things.’ (Zimbardo 5). He wants to start with the question “what makes people go wrong?”. He looked at real

Response to Stanford Experiment         The Stanford Prison Experiment happened because it was a breakdown of their rights,ways of thinking, and physical humiliation.         They sabotaged their way of thinking. The feeling and how the place was set up made it feel like it was real and that they were in a real prison. In the movie the guys really were in into the feel of their location and they were planning to escape it like a real prison ,and in the end when the guy told them that they were

In my opinion, I believe that the Stanford Prison study led to more harm than the Immunization study because according to prisoner Mr. Ramsey, “the experiment should never have taken place as it had no true scientific basis and was ethically wrong” (Leithhead, 2011). The abuse in this study was so harsh, that they had to end the study early due to “ a string of mental breakdowns, an outbreak of sadism and a hunger strike”(Leithhead, 2011). This study was conducted to see if the violent behaviors

This research is also known as The Stanford Prison experiment; it was the study of the physical effects of becoming the person and person guard. This experiment was conducted in the Stanford University on August 14, 1971, by a team of researcher led by psychological professor Philip Zimbardo using college students. The main purpose of this whole study was to understand the development of the effect of roles of rebel and social expectations in stimulated prison environment. Professor Zimbardo then

Reaction Paper: Ethics I reviewed the YouTube Video titled Stanford Prison Experiment; this experiment was very daunting to me since I worked as a Correctional Officer for over 3 years at James T. Vaughn Correctional Center. In my opinion, the experiment did not correctly portray what prison life is like and therefore could not obtain the proper results. For starters, Correctional Officers are trained and have standard operating procedures that they must abide by. There are bad officers that

plays a major role in today’s lifestyle and is an extremely important aspect of our society. Individuals believe that obeying has positive outcomes, and disobeying has negative outcomes. Philip G. Zimbardo, author of “The Stanford Prison Experiment”, held an experiment at the Stanford College to study the behavior in prison situations. Another experiment was held at Yale University by Stanley Milgram, author of “Perlis to Obedience.” These experiments have proven to show the change in behavior occurs

In 1971, Stanford professor and psychologist Philip Zimbardo, arranged and conducted an experiment with the intention of gaining a better understanding of the development of norms and the effects of roles, labels, and social expectations in a simulated prison environment. However, what professor Zimbardo was not expecting, was just how much insight this study would provide into the psychology of individuals and social groups, as well as, the aggressiveness of human nature. Participants in the study

This showed how people chose conformity over wrong judgment. Other experiments mentioned to prove that social situation in fact control an individual’s behavior are Milgram’s experiment which showed people were obedient to authority. Finally, the Stanford prison experiment demonstrated the fundamental attribution error where situational conditions are under looked while attributed causes of behavior to personal factors are more focused on. In this experiment, there were two groups of random chosen

=“The line between good and evil is permeable and almost anyone can be induced to cross it when pressured by situational forces” (Zimbardo). In August of 1971, psychology professor Philip Zimbardo conducted the Stanford prison experiment, which was funded by the U.S military to investigate the causes of dissension between military guards and prisoners. As the experiment commenced participants, college students, adapted to their roles in the prison far beyond the expectations of Zimbardo. Authoritarian

activity of the guards and prisoners. A closet was set up to stimulate the idea of solitary confinement, it was referred to as “the hole”. Clocks were removed so the passage of time would be unknown. The prisoners were arrested, taken to the jail (Stanford) and greeted by a person resembling a warden. The prisoners were searched and sprayed down with water to humiliate and degrade them, which would establish a dominance in the guards. Real prisoners often feel humiliated and emasculated so to create
