The Stanford Prison Experiment was conducted by psychologist Dr. Philip Zimbardo in 1971. This landmark study examined the profound effects of power and authority on human behavior. Unbelievably ordinary individuals, randomly assigned as prisoners and guards in a simulated prison environment, descend into an astonishing display of extreme behaviors. The controversial experiment has become a popular topic of discussion because of its thought-provoking implications and its breach of ethical concerns. Nevertheless, the study has given invaluable insight into the power of social roles and situational influence, and how they shape our understanding of human nature. The Stanford Prison Experiment is both eye-opening and has forever changed our understanding of the human psyche.
