thought-provoking experiment

The whole two hours was oppressive. I knew about this experiment before, and after watching the movie, I felt that this experiment could reflect the desire to control and be controlled hidden in people's hearts. The prison guards' desire to control was inspired by the one who took the lead, and the prisoners accepted the criminal's setting and surrendered. Some people say that the prisoner can directly say that you violated my rights, but at least from the movie, one is that he has already taken the role of himself, and the other is that the inner darkness was magnified under the circumstances at that time.

The convergence of most people in the general environment is certain. In the beginning, the prison guards and the inmates adapted to their changing identities together, and later they had a deep concept, but the newcomers and the professor's wife later saw the experiment with a rational attitude from the perspective of God. In fact, professors and observers have long been affected by it without knowing it, which is also a factor affecting the experiment.

Although the experiment wipes out human nature, its contribution is also huge. However, I do not approve of such experiments.

The independent variable to control for the experiment.

The Stanford Prison Experiment quotes

  • Jesse Fletcher: You brought me here to legitimize this experiment and there's nothing legitimate about this place, Phil.

    Dr. Philip Zimbardo: You're right. You're right. I didn't explain it well. Prisons, they represent a loss of freedom, literally and symbolically.

    Jesse Fletcher: Yeah, but that does not explain why they're wearing dresses. They're wearing dresses, Phil.

    Dr. Philip Zimbardo: Yes, I understand. Uh, we're trying to strip away their individuality. Make them uniform. Feminize them.

    Jesse Fletcher: Feminize them?

    Dr. Philip Zimbardo: Yes. Feminize them. Take away all the things that make them them. You see, we're trying to understand how an institution affects an individual's behavior. We're trying to do something... We're trying to do something good.

  • Karl Vandy: It's easy for you to say, 'Oh, I wouldn't have acted that way', but you don't know. That's - that's the truth. You don't know. And now I know what I'm capable of, and it hurts.
