about the Stanford Prison Experiment July 15‚ 2008 The Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE) by Phil Zimbardo has been for me an example of the astonishing things that we humans are capable of. I guess as an example of human gullibility‚ I had not been skeptical about the experiment‚ which lacks quite a few scientific markers (aside from its ethical problems). During a talk by Barbara Oakley‚ she was asked to comment about the SPE because it showed the influence the situation and roles could have on human

The Stanford Experiment Summary The Stanford Prison Experiment was an experiment to see what would be the psychological effect of becoming a prison guard or a prisoner. To do the experiment they set up a prison in the basement of Stanford’s Psychology Department Building. They used a sample of 24 students from the U.S. and Canada who were in the Stanford area and wanted to make $15 a day for participating in the study. To begin the experiment the boys were divided into two group half guards

An Experiment on Soil Analysis Jacob Pitcher and Derrick Gillespie Chemistry Lab 112 Section 02 4/02/2013 Abstract A sample of soil was tested for possible contaminants and other information using a variety of techniques including moisture analysis‚ pH measurement‚ acid-base titration‚ chloride-ion electrode analysis‚ and flame testing. The sample had a greater concentration of chloride ions‚ no measurable CaCo3 ‚ and lower than standard moisture content. It was contaminated with KCl and

Pipe Flow Experiment Purpose The purpose of the experiment is providing an opportunity to students of experience to familiarize with some key aspects of fluid flow in pipe‚ notably friction losses and verify theory. In this experiment‚ required equipment are a water tank‚ piezometric tubes‚ pump‚ a stop watch‚ empty bucket and a digital weight scale. By operating the pump to keep the water is full in the water

Bouncy Ball Experiment Aim: The aim of this experiment is to investigate the efficiency of a bouncing ball‚ and the factors which affect its efficiency. Prediction I predict that the higher I drop the ball from the higher it will rebound up‚ because it will have more gravitational potential energy the higher dropped from. As it is dropped the ball will have kinetic energy‚ and then when it hits the ground changes to heat and sound energy‚ and kinetic as it rebounds back up. The higher up

PLAN OF INVESTIGATION Fundamental Science Salt water egg experiment Result Some objects float on top of the ocean‚ and other objects sink to the bottom. Why? In this salt water egg experiment we can find a solution for this question. It was noted that to make the egg float salt is needed to dissolve into fresh water. When the egg was lowered into the fresh water container it started to sink. But when salt was added to the container the egg started to float. Adding salt

1932‚ the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) conducted an experiment in Macon Country‚ Alabama‚ to study the progression of syphilis in black males known as the “Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment”. During this experiment‚ medical professionals intentionally withheld treatment for syphilis after deceitfully promising these volunteers beneficial treatment to help combat the disease. Until this day‚ the Tuskegee syphilis experiment is an infamous clinical study in America’s history that delineates

Eric Wu 117 Experiment 1.6: Determination of Density Abstract: The purpose of the experiment was to determine if density is an intensive or extensive property of matter. The experiment proves that density is an intensive property. The density of an object remains the same no matter how much of it is present. The density is an intensive property because mass and volume changes at the same rate. Introduction: This experiment was designed to determine if density is an intensive or extensive

8. Was this a true “experiment”? If so‚ what was being tested? In the short story "Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment"‚ by Nathaniel Hawthorne‚ rather than observing the effect on people of the water from the Fountain of Youth‚ there is a true experiment behind. Though the narrator spends chunks of description on how the water changes people’s appearance and action‚ the inner human nature is what it really tests. As the doctor said before the experiment‚ "it would be well that‚ with the experience of
