The Stanford Prison Experiment is a tough one because itās actually proven impossible to replicate thus far due to the actions of at least one guard who was known to prisoners to be āplay-acting,ā and the fact that Zimbardo and Jaffe continuously encouraged tough behaviour from the initially unwilling guards, thus affecting the guardsā behaviour and the research outcomes. Because of that, many would argue that it was not a valid piece of research, or as dark as it was initially made out to be, because the findings were invalidated the moment the guardsā behaviour was interfered with. Zimbardo continues to argue in favour of his study despite the mountain of evidence invalidating the study, and the study remains a part of the ongoing replication crisis plaguing the field of psychology.

As a psych grad, I always enjoy a bit of psychology 101. That being said, it always saddens me that more people donāt know that the Stanford prison experiment was incredibly flawed. So flawed in fact, that it is seldom referenced in modern psychological research other than as an example of how NOT to undertake research. Nonetheless, the experiment has been highly influential in the development of modern psychology - perhaps on par with Freudās phallic giraffes š

So when I started as an ECE teacher I had an older (later 40s) woman who was running the room I was in and she told me basically the same thing as the guards were. āIf they donāt want to listen we can make them be bored and not play with toys. If they donāt want to do what we want put kids next to then they donāt like/get along with for lunch so they canāt talk or do things they want. Itās frustrating for them but its easier to control the room that way.ā That was disturbing

I got to write an essay off of the standford prison experiment and actually watched a movie that was based off it and I had to take like a day to regain myself cause it was so intense. It really shows how people is position of power can let it go to their head and in consequence can cause the suffering of other innocent people. What was worse was the fact that they watched at how badly the 'prsion guards' were treating the prisoners and they did nothing to stop this until it got to extreme lengths.

psych major here this is one of my favorite experiments that i learned about and it is so interesting. only one close to it is the electric shock experiment which is just if not more interesting.
edit: favorite as in favorite to study not in a positive connotation. this experiment was such a violation of ethics and generally awful.

I remember learning about this in ap psychology. it was crazy learning what people could become into under a role of authority.
