, and I also know that it is very famous, that is, when everyone is in a corresponding role, they will also behave correspondingly in line with the role.
For example, when you are promoted to a manager, you will also show corresponding responsibilities and abilities (to a certain extent); or when you become a father, you will also start to become more mature and responsible; but these are all It is a common phenomenon in our life. It is still within the normal range. The role of the Stanford experiment is more extreme. Prison guards and prisoners. , the shock is also exceptionally large.
Before I watched this movie, I just thought it was a simple theory and didn't feel anything, but when the teacher gave us a brief explanation and then let a group of us watch the movie, I was very angry And very restless behavior, the whole body is tense, the heartbeat is fast, because of the presentation in the movie, I can't calm down in my heart, and I can't accept this fact so quickly.
But this is also a real phenomenon, but we haven't had a chance to see it, so if you are interested, you can still watch this movie. The name of the movie is: Death Experiment, which was filmed by Americans in 2010, and the English name is: The Experiment.
Prototype: Stanford Prison Experiment The
Stanford Prison Experiment was conducted at Stanford University in 1971, when Zimbardo was teaching at Stanford University. Zimbardo converted the basement of the psychology department building into a prison, and paid $15 a day to invite a group of students to participate in the experiment. To participate in the experiment, the students had to pass a test to prove that they were "normal people with mental health and no disease."
Finally, 24 young people with normal psychology were recruited, 12 people played the role of police officers, and 12 people played the role of prisoners. During the experiment, there were only 9 people in each group, 3 people were backup, and Zimbardo played the role of the warden. I thought that the 2-week experiment should be easy, but I didn't expect that obvious excesses started the next day. As time went on, this phenomenon became more and more serious. During the period, several "prisoners" withdrew from the experiment. Because I can't stand the humiliation of warning.
The final experiment was terminated on the sixth day because an outsider was shocked when he came to watch it, so he woke Zimbardo, who was immersed in the status of the warden, and finally terminated the experiment.
This experiment has not been completed, but the significance reflected is huge, which has caused a lot of thinking.
The first sentence of Baidu Encyclopedia reads: The environment can gradually change a person's character, and the situation can immediately change a person's behavior. A gentle gentleman who can turn into a bloodthirsty madman in certain situations.
Where have I seen such a sentence, and I agree with it very much: Never challenge human nature, because human nature cannot withstand challenges! ! !
Movie: When watching the movie (The Experiment)
, I kept clasping my arms around myself the whole time, as if I was the one who was going to be hurt, and seeing the guards constantly bullying the prisoners made my heart move. , when the whole experiment was made into a movie, and when I watched the whole process as a spectator, my heart also experienced the whole process, and the feeling brought by the reflection of human nature was huge.
At the beginning of the experiment, two people who were originally friendly, began to confront each other after the beginning of the experiment, and the reason for the confrontation was also due to the needs of identity. When in the end, the behavior of the leader of the prison guards caused opposition among the prison guards, as a movie watcher, I also wanted to resist and shout.
People's anger was constantly being aroused, and the more and more extreme behavior of the prison guards finally stimulated the bottom line of the prisoners, so they began to fight back, and as a person who was not willing to be violent (No. 77), the bottom line was constantly touched, and he was constantly being abused. When he kept going against his will, he could feel his anger getting more and more. He tried to ask many times why, why, why didn't he stop this experiment, why it continued after it was obviously beyond the normal range.
When the final inquiries were still fruitless, he too was controlled by his anger and began to fight back. In the last part of the film, there is a scar on his fist when his new girlfriend starts kissing him. I think this scar is also the scar on No. 77's heart, and the scar needs to be appeased. In contrast, it is at the beginning of the film, A conflict, but he held himself back and showed his unscarred hand to his new girlfriend.
After the end, people were sitting on the bus returning, and the inmate of No. 77 asked him this question: "Do you still think there is any difference between humans and monkeys? Are humans more advanced?", I think, this is also The question is, does man still end confrontation with violence, not reason?
The answer of No. 77 is this: We have evolved more advanced, we can decide whether to do something later, so the leader of the experiment is brought to court. I don't see what it means to tell us, my understanding is that we experience suffering, and some suffering will force or make us willing to do something, so that we can avoid the same suffering that others experience us. , people are still evolving in a better direction.
Casual thoughts: Evil hidden in the body
Since watching this movie, I have been thinking: the good and evil in the human body!
I have been thinking about this issue recently. As a complete individual, according to the two sides of things, we will always have both sides of good and evil.
Maybe some evils can't be done because of punishment, or because of the guilt in the heart, there is always something that prevents some extreme evils from going beyond the bounds. This reminds me of what my taekwondo coach once said in college: "If there is a war now, I'll grab a few good cars to drive." But now I don't dare, because the law is sound, and doing so will bring There will be serious consequences. If the bondage is gone, and we continue to try, there is still no punishment. Will the extreme evil of human nature be continuously stimulated? By that time, society will be full of chaos, right?
The head of the prison guard in the movie, I guess in life, must be a person who represses himself very much. After constantly releasing his repression, he rebounded very strongly.
In the past, I always fantasized about my perfect self, which also meant that I had no evil, so every time I passed a period of time, I would feel very depressed. Although I looked very sunny and enthusiastic in the eyes of outsiders, only I knew the actual situation. Because I tried hard to cut off all evil, I wanted to be a "good person" in the eyes of others.
In the process of doing charity work, my team leader told me this at the end of the conversation, we need to relax and allow ourselves properly, if evil does not affect others, such as sleeping late, procrastination, etc., if it does not affect life, yes We are not perfect people who can exist properly, so there must be evil, and the existence of this part of evil means our sound personality.
For example, it seems to be a common phenomenon now that we like to play with mobile phones when we eat. Although we all know that it is not a good habit, it can be said to be a bad habit, but it does not matter if it does not affect others.
When reading other psychology books, I have also talked about this issue. One of them is to accept the existence of evil and the existence of bad parts, rather than deny it, because negation also means negating oneself. This part of evil may also have a positive meaning, just like when we are oppressed, we will generate anger, and when our anger reaches a certain level, we will resist.
We now work 8 hours a day and take two days off a week. This is not what it was like at the beginning, but obtained through revolution. It may not be very relevant. What I want to say is that we cannot deny the existence of evil, because Whether he admits it or not, he is there. It is better to accept than to resist. Such evil parts will also bring you a more healthy personality.
For myself, when I start to accept bad beings, I start to get closer to a healthy personality, I think so myself.
