- Summary:
- "In this video interview, Dr. Philip Zimbardo speaks in-depth about the Stanford Prison Experiment, Abu Ghraib, and how to cultivate heroism in everyday people. The 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment was the most notorious of Zimbardo's studies, and here he describes its methodology, goals, unraveling, and abrupt cancellation after only six days of its planned two-week run. He goes on to discuss his work as an analyst during the Abu Ghraib trials, bringing his expertise to bear on the psychological processes at work among the guards. By watching this video, you will understand Zimbardo's ideas about the conditions leading to "evil," compliance (what causes us to look the other way), learned helplessness (through the gradual acclimation to fearful situations), and "the illusion of personal invulnerability"--the idea that we would make better choices in similar situations. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions." Supplied by publisher
