Discrimination Lab Report
I think this experiment opened the eyes of many children and adults to the topic of discrimination. This experiment simple on the surface had so many deep layers underneath to show the true ugliness of prejudice. To make fun of or tear down someone just because they are of a different race,religion or etc is wrong. The things these people want to put people down for are things people can’t control. People cannot control there race, and in the case of the experiment not even the color of their eyes.
The point of this experiment was to show the trickle down effects of prejudice and race relations. Alot of these children were close friends, but over the course of a couple days their relationships were changed forever. To see the cruelty of these

    Differences Between Watson And Rayner's Experiment

    Since they had given Albert, a child who originally was an emotionless being, a conditioned to stimulus of rats mainly animals or furry items, he may carry this throughout his life and shape his development. Another hypothesis they wanted to test was if you could remove these conditioned responses but unfortunately the subject was removed from the hospital, which may have led to some more findings. All in all the study had followed the scientific method, even though it may have been slightly unethical by producing fear in a child, but ethics are new subject in the field psychology which would not have been practiced back in the…

    Philip Zimbardos Simulated Prison Experiment

    The prisoners started breaking down and feeling overwhelmed. One prisoner had been screaming and crying uncontrollable for 36 hours. Some of the other prisoners were showing signs of an emotional disorder that could have had lasting consequences. The experiment wasn't meant to have physically or mentally damage anyone so that's why the experiment was short lived.…

    As sad as it is to say, at the end of the experiment there were a few benefits, one being doctors now know the effects of syphilis on anybody, regardless of race or gender, if left untreated. Another benefit to come from this experiment would be ethics in Public Health and the treatment of human subjects and experiments. Without this experiment there would be no Belmont Report or Ethics Framework for Public Health in our…

    Stanley Milgram's The Perils Of Obedience

    This essay even though it was written in 1974 is still used today because of its historical importance. The experiment attempts to figure out why the Nazi's followed Hitler. Even though what he told them to do was morally wrong and they did it anyway. If this essay can help figure out why Hitler was able to do what he was then able to do, then maybe psychologists can figure out how to prevent something like that from happening again.…

    In the documentary A Class Divided the teacher tried this experiment to help give her students some insight into what real prejudice feels like. It was also to get the message across that no matter who you are prejudice is a real thing in our culture and it shouldn’t be ignored. This experiment when over was supposed to be able to give the children perspective…

    Outline and Evaluate Research Into Obedience

    Problems with this research were that it went against a lot of ethical issues. One of the main ones was the fact that their right to withdraw was taken away from them. When some of the participants asked to stop, the experiment disallowed them. Although Milgrams claimed that participants knew they were free to leave at any time, some of the participants felt that they had no choice but to continue. Also Milgrams deceived the participants. He told the participants that they would be involved in an experiment of the effects of punishment on learning which was not the real purpose. Milgrams argued that if he had told them the real aim of the…

    Tuskegee Experiment: Demonstration Of Racial Inequalities And Dehumanization

    The participants were not too quick to jump into the research though, until of course, they were given incentives, their cooperation was built on the promise of help and generosity of mankind. As time moved forward, I believe they were still hopeful due in part to the fabrication of treatment, but maybe a bit suspicious, hence the start of the covers for burial preparations if death, in fact, struck them. As the years progressed, many participants died, from the severity of their illness, so therefore much of the primary evidence of feelings and emotions is not known. Over time, I expect that the attitudes toward the experiment, from the perspective of the participants and outsiders, did indeed change, and not positively. In decades following, the attention became negative, angry, and impatient. As of now, I believe people, of all races, are utterly disgusted and outraged. The fact that this continued for nearly forty years is incredible and…

    A Class Divided: Video Analysis

    One of the most impressionable events was on the second day of the experiment. On this particular day, Jane Elliot called the children together to discuss what had been happening for the past two days. Once the children were discussing how it made them feel and how wrong it was to treat people that way, I thought that it was amazing that third graders could relate the experiment to real life discrimination. I feel that these children really learned what is was like to discriminate against someone and to be discriminated against.…

    Primacy Effect On Attitude Formation

    In this experiment Jane segregated children in the classroom based on their eye colour. She told them that one group was inferior to the other and watched how the in-group help prejudices against and discriminated the out-group. The next day she switched the groups and the inferior group got a taste of what is was like to be discriminated against. Jane Elliot 's experiments are well known around the world today for giving the minority groups a chance to experience feelings of power and voice their opinions. They also give the in-groups the chance to experience what in feels like to be the out-group. Often people don 't understand something until they have experienced it themselves. Once someone knows the outcomes of their actions their actions often change. Even just reading about Jane Elliot 's experiments changes peoples attitudes and it is thought that they have contributed to a decrease in prejudice and discrimination. (Marsh…

    The Education of a Torturer

    The experiment took ordinary college students and had some agree to be prisoners and the rest would be guards for the prisoners. Both groups received no training on what to do or act like. They had to get all of their knowledge of what to do from outside sources, such as television and movies. The guards were given uniforms and night sticks and told to act like an ordinary guard would. The prisoners were treated like normal criminals. They were finger printed and booked, after that they were told to put on prison uniforms and then they were thrown into the slammer (in this case a simulated cellblock in the basement was used). All of the participants in this experiment at first were thought to be similar in behavior but after one week, all of that changed. The prisoners became "passive, dependent, and helpless." The guards on the other hand were the exact opposite. They became "aggressive and abusive within the prison, insulting and bullying the prisoners."…

    Summary: Discrimination In The Workplace

    On November 13, 2015 I conducted an interview with Gary Martinelli who is a supervisor at Del’s Custard & Yogurt, which he has worked at for 20 years. I use to work at this establishment and with that being said I have always felt that as a supervisor Mr. Gary Martinelli’s responsibilities were always over looked or unappreciated. I felt that even though he was a supervisor not everyone always saw all the work that he actually did. I was very interested in this interview to see all the effort he really put into his job. I was very interested to learn all the small details he put into his role as a supervisor.…

    Reflection on Milgram Experiment

    Reflection on Milgram Experiment

    The result of the experiment was very shocking to me – over half of the subjects would keep shocking the ‘learners’ until the end just because the experimenters required them to do so, even though the learners cried desperately for help. I think this experiment has fully revealed the destructive side of authority, which can turn a mature and conscientious adult into a tool for punishment or even killing. The experiment reminds me of the painful history of Chinese during the invasion by Japan. It has been difficult for me to understand why Japanese soldiers could be so cold-blooded at that time – they performed many cruel tortures, raped women, compete for killing as many Chinese as they could… For me, an ordinary human cannot be so heartless to their same kind. Now, I believe that their outrages could have been a result of the extreme authority of militarism. At that time, all Japanese were edified to obey their senior in an absolute manner since they were young. Their moral imperative disappeared under the pressure of militarism. Their cruelty becomes understandable to me now but, it is still unforgivable.…

    Boys and Girls Alone

    Dr. Richard House (Lecturer in Psychotherapy, second letter) is not happy about the TV experiment at all. He thinks that no matter how much security and how many child chaperones you make keep an eye on the children it will never do any good for the kids. He calls the kids “child guinea-pigs” and compares them to animals. He says that even if Mr. Mackenzie has said that the kids have been screened by experts so they will not suffer from any kind of mental pain, it will never be possible to make sure that every kid is mentally suitable for the experiment. He is very much against the program.…
