The Stanford Prison Experiment pt. 3 of 3



Uploaded by: TheBigHo111
Video Description:
The Stanford prison experiment was ostensibly a psychological study of human responses to captivity and its behavioral effects on both authorities and inmates in prison. It was conducted in 1971 by a team of researchers led by Philip Zimbardo of Stanford University. Undergraduate volunteers played the roles of both guards and prisoners living in a mock prison in the basement of the Stanford psychology building.
Prisoners and guards rapidly adapted to their roles, stepping beyond the boundaries of what had been predicted and leading to dangerous and psychologically damaging situations. One-third of the guards were judged to have exhibited "genuine" sadistic tendencies, while many prisoners were emotionall
y traumatized and two had to be removed from the experiment early. Ethical concerns surrounding the famous experiment often draw comparisons to the Milgram experiment, which was conducted in 1961 at Yale University by Stanley Milgram, Zimbardo's former high school friend. Tom Peters and Robert H.
Waterman Jr wrote in 1981 that the Milgram Experiment in the 1960s and the later Zimbardo Experiment were frightening in their implications about the danger which lurks in the darker side of human nature.

An experiment that can show us the human behaviour when power is in our range. The exercise of power on others seems to transform us in sadistic, cruel 'human' beings. And our incapability of standing up against atrocities (the example of the other guards)? Why this happens? Why we surrender to power (verbal and non-verbal)?

At the end of the day, we all have to take responsibility for our behaviour, no matter what the cicumstances. End of story.

I wonder if the actions of the guards would have been this bad if the experiment was meant to last longer. I think the reason the guards were so brutal is because they figured - it's only two weeks I'll play my part. It is amazing how far they took it though.
Had the experiment ... ( 2 months ago by laxforblood)
Had the experiment not gone this way I bet they would have tried that next, but in experiments you need constants to determine where the source of the outcomes lie. In this case, what was being tested was whether or not characteristics of individuals could overpower characteristics of a situation, not the differences between genders and ethnic groups' approaches to such a situation. That would be too many variables even for this experiment.

Sorry; this comment was in response to those questioning why it was only white males involved in the experiment and not people of other races and genders

i think its very interesting 'john wayne' said he had recently watched cool hand luke and chose that particular character from the film to base his 'role' on, on a number of levels. apart from the fact he was directly influenced by a film in this particular experiment, it's worth noting there are other prison officers in the film, and the whole point about that character is that he's a faceless, mute symbol of authority - so he's very difficult to identify with in any way.

if these ppl were in the experiment as gaurds i don't think it's wrong that they said cruel things to the prisoners, that's the role they're playing. i dont see how 6 days of this was messing them up when ppl are in prisons for years. they needed to keep reality in their heads. maybe they were weak minded. i would participate in the experiment just to see

In these situations ... ( 3 weeks ago by lostangel912)
In these situations if the one's own mind is so influenced by the power of the context then another person's insight is needed. This is why when the female graduate student alerted Zimbardo of the severity of the experiment he admitted that it must stop. Similarly, in hostile situations such as spousal abuse, one must need someone to wake them up and break the cycle.

Cops aren't saints, they are people with jobs. People just like these guards only they don't step out of it into a students life after eight hours. They live it 24hrs a day! Are our authority figures really fit to give unbiased judgment?! Can you really just give them power and leave them unsupervised? You think they are immune to the psychological pit falls the rest of mankind faces?! hummmm
Wow, that one ... ( 2 weeks ago by hiddenmind)
Wow, that one security gaurd confessing to these evil acts seems too boastful.
"Young boys are suffering and your responsible for letting it happen." "My God, your right." Hes a professor and he needed enlightenment to see this simple truth? In the name of psychology, we can act as Hitler for scientific data. This is true insanity at its finist.
the professor ... ( 1 week ago by GMuneee)
the professor didn't actually act that way because he wanted to or 'in the name of psychology'. he became part of the experiment jus like the guards and the prisoners did. the whole point of the experiment was to see how much situational pressure it takes to override personality and change people's behaviour. and thats what happened to the professor.
I understand that ... ( 1 week ago by hiddenmind)
I understand that and that is inclusive to what I said."In the name of psychology," this happened. Does not matter if he "became the experiment." He knew he had responsibility of these kids lives. Do you really think the conscious mind can not feel compassion in an experiment?
Why dont they do an ... ( 1 week ago by hiddenmind)
Why dont they do an experiment on why good people dont act out on injustice? They dont even explain or go into detail to understand this, and this is the MAIN CRITICAL question of the entire experiment. Think about it... Do you really think the Professor is that incompetent? Look at him, he and the other student is justifying their actions. "First day FOUR STUDENTS BROKE DOWN." that should be the end of the experiment but they went harder and more evil. Incompetent or ignoring human rights?

They should do this instead of big brother, it would be the best tv show ever. For the first few days they would do nothing but they dont do anything on big brother anyway, then i would just get crazy! :D
