While assessing the Stanford Prison Simulation encounter‚ I noticed a lot of ethical issues that stemmed from the Psychologist researchers and the guards as well. First and foremost‚ there were no clear instructions as to what the guards should do to get results for the research and there were no adamant clear instructions as to what the guards could not do to the prisoner’s. The purpose of research is to measure data and its outcome‚ and ensuring the protection and safety of the subjects involved

(n.d.). To test his theories‚ Zimbardo conducted a study‚ known as the Stanford Prison Study‚ which confirmed his theoretical development of deindividuation. Zimbardo postulates that the individual in a group is less likely to follow normal rules of behavior‚ partly because they become anonymous and the sense of responsibility fades. In addition‚ the individual’s self-awareness is relaxed. Some examples from the prison study that we can see is that the anonymity is accentuated

Experiments and war are not often thought of being similar. Experiments are thought to be sterile‚ civilianized‚ and controlled; with men in pristine white coats rushing about carrying test tubes and clipboards. On the other hand‚ war is chaotic and anarchic; filled with disease‚ death‚ and suffering. War is bloodshed and loss; while experiments are organized and precise.

of knowledge‚ however there have been some experiments carried out that have had serious negative consequences on their test subjects. Two experiments of this type are the ‘Little Albert’ experiment where a child was conditioned to fear a white rat to test whether fear is innate or conditional. The second experiment was carried out on young orphans to find out if stuttering was a genetic trait or something that can be cured or induced. Both experiments left their subjects permanently affected and

article named ‘’Review of Stanley Milgramss Experiments on Obedience’’ by Diana Baumrind looks at Milgrams experiment of learning‚ and then discusses whether Milgram violated the rights of his subjects‚ or did a beneficial experiment for humanity. In the article‚ the procedure of the experiment in a laboratory is described.

learning about the Stanley Milgram experiment‚ I found myself questioning why and how the majority of the subjects that participated in the experiment were willing to inflict apparent pain and injury on an innocent person‚ and found myself curious as to how I would react should I but put in the same situation. I believe that the most significant reason for this disturbing absence of critical thinking and moral responsibility is because the subjects involved in the experiment were blinded by authority and

Violent incidents occur

with his initial experiment on obedience performed in 1963. The research results were so notorious that it determined scientists like Charles Hofling to replicate the study‚ and in 1966‚ he completed a conceptual replication of Milgram’s experiment. First we will look at how the two studies explore a similar topic using a different design and experimental condition‚ and second‚ we will explore some of the similarities between their results and ethical aspects. In the experiment conducted by Milgram

The Stanford Experiment of the 1970’s was a test of human nature conducted by the Stanford Psychology Department.
