Just a little, huh Angel? And a few people have mentioned the movie, C4! Imma have to see if I can find it
I saw this movie it was very interesting! In Germany they have a fiction movie based on this but much worse!
This is def one of my favorite psychology experiments. I was shocked by how quickly it escalated. Was it also this experiment where the parents had visitation rights and complied as if their child was really an inmate? I can't remember but I think it is, which makes it even more interesting
I also found interesting how although they could leave whenever, both the guards and prisoners were so emerged in their roles they didn't
You should also consider making a psychology jokes thread I don't know how many people have taken psychology so I don't know how successful it would be but.. Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?
Ok so about this experiment.. In the military they send you to leadership development schools.. They rotate who will be in leadership roles every few days/weeks.. I've noticed certain people when put into positions of power have a complete attitude change, and those placed in a follower role will naturally rebel against authority (mind you we're trained to obey those above us daily) I've come to find from observing at these schools that individuals who have naturally strong presences don't usually become "bad" leaders but will fight authority and naturally meek individuals will become toxic leaders but will readily submit to authority.. It kinda seems to me that people with adaptive personalities are the most fitting in these types of enviorments and issues arise when you go against natural human roles. For example would you pick an introvert to be president?
? That's a really interesting point, Giggity.. You think going against our natural personalities amplifies the opposite traits?
Yes, I think it's also because of being thrust into a role you wouldn't normally assume you handle it poorly. I'm sure some would thrive in opposite roles but the majority I've seen haven't
People just wanna do all sorts of shit to other people as long as the consequences aren't present. Hell, you can see how it is in pimd when the mods aren't around to babysit
