Episode 2: The Stanford Prison Experiment
In this episode of Brain Quest, we explore one of Psychology's most infamous and thought-provoking studies: the Stanford Prison Experiment. Conducted in 1971 by Dr. Philip Zimbardo, this controversial experiment revealed the dark side of human behaviour and the power of social roles in shaping actions.
We break down the experiment’s setup, the shocking events that unfolded, and its lasting impact on psychology and society. From ethical concerns to its relevance in understanding real-world power dynamics, we also discuss the lessons and criticisms that keep this study at the forefront of psychological conversations.
Join me as we uncover how the Stanford Prison Experiment challenges our understanding of authority, power, and the human behaviour. Subscribe now, and let’s continue exploring the fascinating world of the mind!
