Social Thinking: Crash Course Psychology #37 Jess: The Stanford Prison Experiment is actually pretty unreliable. There-s rumors that the guards were heavily encouraged to act aggressively towards the inmates, as if their aggression was helping the experiment go well. Also, guards signed up to be in charge of people, begging the questions: who would sign up for that? And is this really indicative of how the population at large would behave? Regardless of all that, the experiment was highly unethical as inmates were (allegedly) discouraged from leaving the experiment, and were subjected to demoralizing events that possibly damaged their psyche.

When talking about the Stanford prison experiment, it is important to keep in mind that the subjects were all male and college students, which means they were privileged enough in the time to afford higher education, so most, if not all of them, were white. Also, the wording of the experiment has been shown to draw more aggressive individuals. So as interesting as the study is, it can not be applied to the general population. However, it can be generalized to men who are drawn to law enforcement.

Hi hi, I'm not a psych expert or student. But I had heard that the Stanford Prison Experiment was discredited for its findings because of the unethical practices, disarray of variables, and many other reasons. Can someone explain to me why people still use it as an example or a discussion topic? I too feel like it holds value, but I don't know how to explain that.

My theory is most people are biased because of ego. the cognitive dissonance response is their ego trying to keep hold of control of their mind, and their existing beliefs. If one works on ego, or studies self and observes bias, one may overcome cognitive dissonance responses and tame the ego within

The funny thing about asking if a behaviour is situational or dispositional, is that a father-s behaviour could be due to situational influence, but the son (who learns his personality from his father) his behaviour is dispositional

He also forgot to mention that people do certain things because they belong to an ideology that they are born into and have no choice but to stay in with risks of repercussions if they try to get out of

Does anyone else feel more or less human with this information?
I mean as in biological human experience's (mostly negative part of it) becomes redundant after knowing the tricks of the social trade.

I understand that Lawyers are using the Stamford Prison experiment discussed here, as evidence that guards at Guantonimo Bay were not responsible for their horrific treatment of Iraqi prisoners.

Power of authority, or any power, for that matter, goes to certain people's heads, given their upbringing based on freedom of thought and speech, over being shunned, shut down and humiliated
