Stanford Prison Experiment Questions

The Stanford Prison Experiment


After visiting: http://www.prisonexp.org/ and taking the slide show, respond to the following questions. 


  1. Was it ethical to do this study? Was it right to trade the suffering experienced by participants for the knowledge gained by the research? (The experimenters did not take this issue lightly, although the Slide Show may sound somewhat matter-of-fact about the events and experiences that occurred).
  2. Knowing what this research says about the power of prison situations to have a corrosive effect on human nature, what recommendations would you make about changing our correctional system?
Responses are due by 8am Wednesday 4/17/13
