Professor Philip Zimbardo‚ leader of the Stanford prison experiment considered three questions before initiating one of the most significant experiments to human phycology. He asked; ‘What happens when you put good people in an evil place? Does the situation outside of you come to control your behaviour? Or do the things inside you such as your attitudes‚ your values and your morality etc. allow you to rise above a negative environment? The experiment was intended to last two weeks‚ but was terminated

Yale University psychologist‚ Stanley Milgram‚ conducted an experiment in 1961 focusing on the conflict between obedience to authority and personal conscience. He examined justifications for acts of genocide offered by those accused at the World War II Nuremberg War Criminal trials. Their defense often was based on "obedience" - that they were just following orders from their superiors. Milgram’s experiment‚ which he told his participants was about learning‚ was to have participants (teacher) question

SIMILARITIES AND DISSIMILARITIES BETWEEN FROGS AND TOADS. Most people find it very difficult to differentiate between a frog and a toad. They often mix them up. Their physical features are very much alike. The physical distinctions‚ however‚ can easily get blurred because sometimes the features appear mixed or less obvious‚ and certain species even legitimately fall into both categories. Although frogs and toads seem similar in appearance‚ they are very different on the basis of origin

Philip Zimbardo was interested in this questions. Zimvardo choose a prison enviroment as the evil place.

Introduction Milgram Experiment Method 40 men were recruited for a lab experiment investigating “learning”. In exchange for their participation‚ each person was paid $4.50. After the WWII‚ Stanley Milgram a psychologist of Yale University posed a question‚ “Could it be that Eichmann and his million accomplices in the Holocaust were just following orders? Could we call them all accomplices? These men were introduced to another participant who were actually actors. These men were given role

This experiment was led by a psychology professor named Philip Zimbardo‚ he had the help of a team of researchers. The purpose of this particular experiment was to induce disorientation‚ depersonalization‚ and DE individualization in the participants. After a period of time behind bars everyone would act out of character. Psychology professor‚ Philip Zimbardo‚ and his team of researchers

In the Milgram experiment‚ a man picks random people to participate in an experiment. They believe that they are helping discover the roles of punishment on behavior. Although‚ this is not true. The participants themselves are the ones being analyzed. The experiment is to discover how far someone would obey an instruction of harming another person‚ despite personal conflict. The participant and an actor are places in a room and “get to choose” their roles of either teacher or learner‚ although the

Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to examine how the compound action potentials propagate down the sciatic nerve of a frog based on varying stimuli. Before the nerve could be tested it needed to be extracted from the thigh of the frog and then submerged in saline. Several varying stimuli were used and recorded by a software package. The second experiment requires a constant stimulus with varying reference pin locations. From this the velocity of the action potential propagated can be
