The Stanford Prison Experiment was a psychological experiment conducted by students at Stanford University in 1971. The purpose of the experiment was to study the psychological effects of life prison. Applicants were selected based on no psychological problems, medical disabilities, or history of crime or drug abuse. Ultimately, twenty-four undergraduate students from Canada and America were selected to participate in the study. Participants were paid $15 per day. The kids were divided into two groups by flipping a coin. Therefore, half of them were assigned as guards and the other half as prisoners. The prisoners were then taken to cells and locked up. The experiment began and the guards, prisoners and other staff members began to fill their roles. For starters, the psychological effects began when prisoners were stripped, sprayed, and shaved to ensure they didn't introduce germs. Prisoners were issued a uniform with an identification number that constituted their identity during the experiment. Prisoners expected harassment and humiliation from the guards. Prisoners were physically punished when clashes between guards and prisoners began. At first the prisoners were easier to handle, but after the first day they rebelled and the guards had to use psychological tactics. Surprisingly, the psychological approach of separating prisoners and providing special privileges to some of them led to the discovery of a trick used by guards to handle prisoners. This strategy by the guards made the prisoners distrust each other. Prisoners who suffered from emotional disturbances, disorganized thinking, and rationalized behavior insisted on resigning. Furthermore, the visit of parents and friends for the delinquents also took place which went smoothly as also...... half of the document ...... was obsolete in psychology. Studies like the Stanford prison experiments should be conducted more to promote a sense of personal responsibility and accountability for a person's every action to make people aware that conditions of widespread concern mask their own role in the outcomes of their actions. Furthermore, distinguish between authority for which respect may be appropriate and unjust authority as in the Stanford prison life study, which must be resisted by disrespect and disobedience. It is crucial to support critical thinking in a child's life from an early stage and maintain it throughout life. Demand evidence to support the statement, requiring that ideologies be adequately crafted to separate rhetoric from reality-based conclusions and to independently determine whether specific means justify inaccurate and destructive ends of actions.
