This experiment was very unethical and could’ve been conducted in a safer way but Zimbardo never thought the experiment would get out of hand in the way that it did. Zimbardo truly isn’t to blame in this situation‚ the only thing to blame here is human nature. The Stanford Prison experiment was a psychological experiment preformed in 1971 at Stanford

A criminological theory known as the broken window theory is something that interests me a lot. I first learned of this theory through my required school reading of “Freakonomics” by Steven D Levitt and Stephen J Dubner. The theory was being used to support the argument that the broken windows theory was responsible for New York’s 1990’s crime drop. The theory is believed to be responsible for the crime drop because of William Bratton‚ the New York City police commissioner. William Bratton used the

The studies that were done by Zimbardo have shown that even regular law abiding citizens will commit crimes when put in the right situations including vandalizing a car that was left abandoned. The broken window theory may not be easily proven but it does play an important part in victimology

The first question dealt with Erving Goffman’s face work. Face work entails rebuilding one’s image after damage has been done to it. Goffman’s work extends on the ideas of Cooley and Mead. The third question dealt with child development and the play stage‚ which is when children develop roles. Mead was interested in how we acquire

psychology’s history. Zimbardo‚ a former classmate of Stanley Milgram (who is best-known for his famous obedience experiment)‚ was interested in expanding on Milgram’s research. "Suppose you had only kids who were normally healthy‚ psychologically and physically‚ and they knew they would be going into a prison-like environment and that some of their civil rights would be sacrificed.

The experiment was aborted after 6 days when a graduate student alerted Zimbardo about the conditions and effects that this experiment was having on students. The Stanford Prison experience received strong criticism as it was considered unethical‚ biased‚ lacked control and the active participation and influence that Zimbardo had in this experiment. This was a very famous study at the time and still today psychologists and researchers
