The Prisoner-Guard Experiment, conducted by Philip Zimbardo in 1971 at Stanford University, explored the psychological effects of perceived power and authority between prisoners and guards. Participants adopted their roles to such extremes that the study had to be terminated after just six days. This experiment highlighted the influence of situational factors on behavior, the nature of conformity, and the ease with which individuals can engage in abusive behavior. It raises ethical questions about psychological research and the implications for understanding human behavior in institutional settings.
