  2. Conformity to Social Roles as Investigated by Zimbardo

    Zimbardo (1973) conducted an extremely controversial study on conformity to social roles, called the Stanford Prison Experiment.

  3. Demonstrating the Power of Social Situations via a Simulated Prison

    The lessons of the Stanford Prison Experiment have gone well beyond the classroom (Haney & Zimbardo, 1998).

  5. How is the Stanford Prison Experiment connected to Conformity?

    The Zimbardo's one however seems somewhat implicit. The notes that I read seem to put the Stanford Prison experiment right after the ones by Sherif and Asch.

  8. Contesting the "Nature" Of Conformity: What Milgram and Zimbardo's

    Abstract. Understanding of the psychology of tyranny is dominated by classic studies from the 1960s and 1970s: Milgram's research on obedience to authority and Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment. Supporting popular notions of the banality of evil, this research has been taken to show that people conform passively and unthinkingly to both the ...

  9. The Stanford Prison Experiment: The Power of the Situation

    Philip Zimbardo is best known for his 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE). Early in his career, he conducted experiments in the psychology of deindividualization, in which a person in a group or crowd no longer acts as a responsible individual but is swept along and participates in antisocial actions.
