i think he might secretly be a sinister robot

We're studying this in my Social Psychology class. We were actually shown a Stanford Prison Study video yesterday. It's an interesting study.

it seems too short of a time to change one's own feeling of identity...Sees like a tiny crappy reality show...

[Fliehman11]

This experiment really shows what people do and how they react when they think their whole life has been turned upside down. And that they have absolutely no power over anything that they do. the scary thing was that in such a short amount of time they lost their "identity", for example the letter. Some intense stuff for sure.

Its amazing how easily people can take things too seriously to the point where it screws you up

[Gelli555]

@jadymustang65 this can not be compared to the holocaust by along shot they had guns and gaschamber these peple only had their words and they still let themselves be controlled

[pollosn93]

I like this experience

[DoverBroadcasting]

I just watched this in school today. Nice to know it's on YouTube!

[margolou2010]

@DoverBroadcasting That's great. We're doing a study in my class also. In fact we're being questioned on this on our test tomorrow afternoon.

[jadymustang65]

makes you realize how the holocaust was possible. we really have no control over anything do we? its so easy to manipulate a perception.

[faruh123]

@jadymustang65 Your absolutely right

[pfcwar5150]

feeling sorry for prisoners, what a load of shit! cant do the time, dont commit the crime! stupid liberal basterds! they care more for the scumbag prisoners than their victims. typical liberal thinking. liberal douchebags,..the scourge of the earth.

[kay909090]

@pfcwar5150 id agree with you if this was a real situation but you do realize that these prisoners aren't REAL prisoners right? they didn't actually commit a crime. i mean i hate liberals too but yeah.

[pfcwar5150]

@kay909090 .yes, i realize the experiment,..saying that prisons turn people into bad people. Stupid bleeding heart liberals think only saints are imprisoned

[riyahism]

@pfcwar5150 I don't think the experiment shows that prisons turn people into bad people. It shows how when given power or when someone feels superior over someone else certain acts and behaviors become more likely. This in my opinion is proven by the fact that these were just students; no one committed a crime and no one was an actual officer. They had no real jurisdiction over these people and yet this still happened. Not that prisons turn people into bad people; this can happen anywhere.

[margolou2010]

@riyahism It shows how powerful suggestion can be over the human mind. They were also told that they could not leave. This led to "learned helplessness," in which people resign themselves to something over which they feel they have no control. Battered women go through this.

[margolou2010]

@pfcwar5150 This is basically a study of human behavior. There is nothing said of feeling sorry for prison inmates and nothing stated politically.

According to the site, they're asking $110 per DVD? (Not including postage and packing, of course.) Is this the follow up social experiment - seeing who would pay such a ridiculous sum of money for 50 minutes?

Kudos to the uploader. Let's just hope that the price on the site was a typo...

[Fronika]

Human beings are monsters. No wonder the world is in the state it is.

[HeroicImaginationTV]

IT WAS 40-YRS AGO TODAY... join Dr. Zimbardo in an intimate and exclusive retelling of the Stanford Prison Experiment across the course of the next six days on our Facebook page at HIPCommunity.

[MyriadVidz]

Salesian was here.

[thoughtsthroughsound]

don't forget to thumbs up

[ArynneVengeance]

thanx for uploading :) i have been trying to find this on DVD for the longest time!

[BritishBlueCat]

We were looking at the Milgram Experiment and this in History, and so I had to do some research on this for homework. It's quite shocking that people actually would do this, but you could say that this is a result of our genes and stuff cos in earlier times, humans had to be hard and tough to hunt, and if someone was sick or old, they had to leave them behind or kill them or else they themselves would die because the old/sick person was holding them back and so they had to move on to live...

[JimAsian1]

This must have been taped in 1986 because they keep saying 15 years later

Though it says 1991

[26anonymous26]

Why are the only 369 views? EVRY1 should hav an oppurtunity to see and know about this! thanks so much btw for uploading this video!

MUCH appreciated!

Peace

This is such an eye opening experiment, which, as bad+unethical as it was, produced really beneficial insight into human behaviour+perception!

I'm glad that prisoner 816 became a prsioner psychologist-for that experiment to have had such an effect upon his life, and for him to want to strive to undersand himslef and better himself through psychology, and then end up working in a similar prison environment he faced initially--thats deep. lol really. i wish him + the others all the best.

Peace

@26anonymous26 I thihk it's hypocritical if some find this experiment unethical yet it is so viewed and studied so much. If it is so unethical to some, then I feel they should not look at it.

[26anonymous26]

@JimAsian1, with all respect, i dont c y thats hypocritical. its not like i'm saying itsa bad study-no, not at all-one of my favrite studies that i learnt bout it sycology-but all im saying is that its breaking of ethical guidelines has definitly been balanced by the usefulness of the reseacrh. this isnt an insult o zimbardo or ny1-all im doing is aknowledging that the participants were harmed within the study, n i dnt c y i shudnt-so all is good!

:)

Peace
