Stanford Prison Experiment
The Stanford Prison Experiment, a renowned psychological study conducted by Philip Zimbardo at Stanford University in 1971, was designed to demonstrate the power of situational factors like social roles, norms, and scripts on behavior. The study, which was advertised as an investigation into the psychological effects of prison life, had to be terminated after only six days due to the extreme and abusive behavior of participants assigned as 'guards' and the severe emotional distress experienced by those assigned as 'prisoners'.
