The Stanford Prison Experiment
The film is based on real events. The story happened in Stanford University in the early 1960s+0970s. A group of college students conducted a research experiment on human behavior. They were divided into two groups. One group played the role of prison guards, and the other group played the role of prisoners, and began to simulate the daily life of the prison within 24 hours. It turns out that the person who plays the prison guard becomes violent in the simulated prison situation, while the person who plays the prisoner plans to resist. The experiment was quickly stopped, but its research results have been concerned by people for many years and caused widespread controversy.
Experimental details
The experiment was conducted by American psychologist zimbardo and others in 1969.
Objective: To explore whether people's psychological orientation of abuse is congenital or acquired.
Participants: 24 male college students (no prison experience, no history of drug abuse, physical and mental health) earn $65,438 +05 a day.
Venue: Investigators built a mock prison in the basement of the psychology department of Stanford University.
Process: Participants were arrested by the police and taken to the test site.
Participants were divided into two groups by drawing lots, 12 prisoners and 12 prison guards.
Prisoners will first take off their clothes, sprinkle with lice powder, put on white robes similar to women's clothes, wear stockings instead of underwear, number everyone instead of their names, and have hinges on their right ankles.
Prison guards wear uniforms, batons and cold hands Luke to prevent eye contact.
As there is no clock or window, the prisoners don't know the time.
Prison guards can punish at will.
Conclusion: The day after tomorrow, due to the special prison environment, the behavior of prison guards became more violent, and some even took pleasure in punishing prisoners later.
Due to social interference, the experiment had to be ended early. Actually, it only lasted six days. Being a prisoner participant calls it a terrible nightmare. It also caused different degrees of harm to them. This experiment also led to the birth of a new law on prison abuse.
Since I haven't seen this movie, all the above are facts, so it may be different from the plot of the movie.
