How does power influence human behaviour? In this episode, we dive into the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment led by Philip Zimbardo. Explore how ordinary volunteers quickly adopted the roles of guards and prisoners, the psychological effects of authority and social roles, and why the study remains one of the most debated experiments in psychology. We also examine the ethical concerns, criticisms, and lasting impact this experiment has had on our understanding of human behavior.
Whether you're a psychology student, educator, or simply fascinated by the complexities of the human mind, this episode offers an insightful look at one of psychology's most controversial studies.
