The Stanford Prison Experiment is a shocking and eye-opening portrayal of the true story of a human experiment conducted in 1971. Twenty-four university students volunteered to participate in a study conducted by Dr. Philip Zimbardo, a psychologist interested in studying violent behavior in prisons. The volunteers were assigned roles as either guards or prisoners in a simulated prison setting. The results were astonishing, as seemingly ordinary individuals were transformed into cruel and sadistic individuals, while others began to show signs of distress from the mistreatment they experienced in just a few days. This article sheds light on the dark and disturbing aspects of human behavior and the impact of authority and power on individuals.
