	Stanford prison experiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zimbardo and his team intended to test the hypothesis that prison guards and convicts were self-selecting, of a certain disposition that would naturally lead to poor conditions in that situation.
		Zimbardo has noted that of the over fifty outsiders who had seen the prison, she was the only one who ever questioned its morality.
		Zimbardo was not merely a neutral observer, but influenced the direction of the experiment as its "superintendent".

	Philip Zimbardo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zimbardo was born to Sicilian parents, George Zimbardo and Margaret Bisicchia, grew up in New York City, in the South Bronx, and went to Monroe High School with Stanley Milgram.
		Zimbardo is also the author of an introductory Psychology textbook, Psychology and Life, which is used in many American undergraduate psychology courses.
		In 2004, Zimbardo testified in the case of "Chip" Frederick, a guard at Abu Ghraib prison, arguing that Frederick's sentence should be lessened since Zimbardo's prison experiment had shown that few can resist the powerful situational pressures of a prison.

	The Stanford Prison Experiment: Still powerful after all these years (1/97) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Zimbardo's primary reason for conducting the experiment was to focus on the power of roles, rules, symbols, group identity and situational validation of behavior that generally would repulse ordinary individuals.
		Zimbardo was shocked by her reaction and upset, she said, but eventually that night, "he acknowledged what I was saying and realized what had happened to him and to other people in the study.
		Zimbardo and Maslach say they feel an ongoing responsibility to communicate about and apply the research beyond the academic world, which is why they generally agree to do interviews about it.

	Psychologist Zimbardo puts the 'real' into reality TV" 5/01
		Zimbardo recently served as chief scientific adviser for a new reality show called "The Human Zoo," a program designed to highlight aspects of human behavior and social interaction for the audience in a positive and constructive way.
		Zimbardo was integral in laying out scenarios for the participants that would effectively demonstrate likely psychological concepts such as the herd mentality.
		Zimbardo hopes that tapes of "The Human Zoo" eventually will be available for teaching purposes, just as his documentary about the Stanford Prison Experiment is used around the world in psychology classrooms.

	Philip Zimbardo: A psychologist’s experience with deviance
		Zimbardo has won more than 24 awards, served on 20 boards and consultations, authored more than 20 psychology textbooks, written over 120 journal articles, and is the creator of a video teaching series called Discovering Psychology.
		In 1969, Zimbardo placed one 1959 Oldsmobile auto on a street across from the Bronx campus of New York University (a ghetto area), and one on a street in Palo Alto, California near the Stanford University campus (a rather affluent area).
		Zimbardo and two of his graduate students decided to provide an example by using a sledgehammer to bash the car.

	Zimbardo prison experiment: 8/01
		Zimbardo is still surprised at how quickly the participants changed their stripes.
		In response to Zimbardo's and Zumwalt's requests, the film's producers eventually agreed to include a very different disclaimer in future versions, something to tell people that "this is purely fiction," Zumwalt said.
		Zimbardo explained that his 1971 discoveries led him to examine another type of prisoner-guard situation: the voices that shy people hear when confronted with social situations.

	P. Scott: Review of Zimbardo, At Point Zero
		Zimbardo shows how the new scientists such as Boyle and Sprat demanded a "transparent, mimetic discourse to describe the mechanical operations of nature" (17).
		Zimbardo argues "that the eighteenth century binary model of satire, which determines that in order to be satire, a text must direct its reader to a positive norm, or must, at least by implication, uphold a clear alternative to foolish and ridiculous behavior.
		Zimbardo brings a wealth of knowledge and critical acumen to her views on Restoration literature.

		Zimbardo: “The guards now had a set of playthings, and each night they would think of more and more creatively evil things to do with their playthings, with their prisoners.
		Zimbardo recognized that his planned two-week study was so dangerous, it had to end immediately after only five days.

	Zimbardo blames military brass for Abu Ghraib torture
		Zimbardo said that in addition to poor training and supervision, the same psychological forces that were at work in the Stanford experiment were present at the Abu Ghraib prison and that the findings of the experiment should have been a forewarning to the military about possible dangers of abuses of power.
		Zimbardo said that unless systemic forces, including poverty, racism and military conditions like those that existed in Abu Ghraib are recognized and changed, imprisonment alone will never eliminate the problem of evil behavior and there will always be a bad apple at the bottom of the barrel.
		Zimbardo said the final chapter in a new book that he is writing, which shares its title with the lecture, will address how good people can be made to continue doing good and shun the path of evil.

		Zimbardo's study degenerated into a brutal exercise of tyranny by the guards and he was forced to stop the experiment earlier than intended.
		However, one should also remember that Zimbardo filmed his original experiment, even though it wasn't released for TV, and that there are clearly moments when our own participants appear to forget they are under observation and are miked up, as the prisoners sometimes retreat into huddles and whisper amongst themselves.
		As Zimbardo himself played the head guard, it is more than possible that his status and leadership legitimised the tyranny and the same thing might have happened if Haslam or Reicher had taken part.

	"Encyclopedia of Mental Health: Shyness"
		Zimbardo's interest in shyness in adults stemmed from observations made in a mock prison study he and his colleagues conducted in 1971.
		In addition to survey research, the Zimbardo research team conducted hundreds of in- depth interviews, numerous case studies, experimental-behavioral research, and cross-cultural research on shyness for more than 20 years, culminating in the creation of a treatment program for shy adults.
		Since Zimbardo's pioneering efforts, shyness has been studied primarily in university student populations by personality theorists and social psychologists who have been interested in the subjective experiences of shy people, links between shyness and self processes, behavioral responses to shyness-arousing stimuli, and the consequences of shyness.

	BBC's 'reality' show may be cruel and unusual television / Program based on Stanford Prison Experiment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The BBC asked Zimbardo to be involved with the program, but he refused, he said, because while his experiment may be considered a landmark in social psychology, today it is also considered unethical, even by its creator.
		Zimbardo later said he then realized that he, too, had succumbed to the experiment, placing his role of "prison supervisor" ahead of objective, ethical researcher.
		Zimbardo's experiment is now considered a pioneering example of how social circumstances can overwhelm other factors of class, intelligence, religion and personality.

	Film criticized as irresponsible
		Meanwhile, Zimbardo questions whether audiences will be able to distinguish fantasy from reality, not only in the movie but also in a new British TV show, also based on the Stanford experiment and slated to air on the BBC.
		Because whereas Zimbardo and his team sought to prevent problems by terminating the experiment early, after just six days instead of the intended two weeks, the movie's fictional team of researchers carry on with the experiment even as it spirals out of control.
		No." Zimbardo also argued that the movie is sexist, noting for example, a sexual insult hurled at the female researcher, and he said the movie fails to explore the Stanford experiment's purpose and what it teaches about the power of social situations to influence much human behavior.

		Zimbardo points out that had these individuals been thinking like the college students they were, instead of the prisoners they were playing, they simply would have quit.
		In addition, Zimbardo's aborted study illustrated that, given the proper environmental circumstances, individuals can create the very social forces that come to shape their behavior.

		Zimbardo seeks not to promote a rigid and narrow, academically approved "type" of personality, much less equate shyness with a tendency toward crime, as one reviewer claimed.
		What Zimbardo actually says that shyness in the extreme, can be a contributing factor to the degradation of one's mental health, which, if unchecked, can in some cases continue to deeper pathologies.
		Let's not misread Zimbardo, whose "...main interest is only in helping shy people remove barriers to their greater freedom, to their fuller participation in life, and to their personal sense of worth and mastery" (120).

		Under the watchful eye of Dr. Philip Zimbardo, esteemed professor of psychology and former president of the American Psychological Foundation, volunteers went through several rounds of testing to ensure psychological and physical health and "normalcy." They were then designated either guards or prisoners by the simple flip of a coin.
		To further reinforce their power, the guards took away bathroom privileges and forced prisoners to urinate and defecate in buckets inside their cells, and to later clean the mess out with their bare hands.
		Zimbardo went on to explain that the Stanford prison experiment and the Abu Ghraib prison scandal were built on the same foundations with similar (and even predictable) results.
