In October of this year (2024) Philip Zimbardo passed at the age 91. After a legendary career in psychology, he is known for a very innovative study at Stanford University. A group of students, who were about to get quite a surprise, were randomly assigned be either guards or prisoners. In this episode we look back at Zimbardo’s life and the surprising outcomes of some of his most controversial research on the dynamics of incarceration.


Show Highlights:

  • The life and career of one Philip Zimbardo.
  • The BBC special on the Stanford Prison Study. Zimbardo’s inspiration from the Attica Prison uprising.
  • Students randomly assigned to be “guards” and “prisoners.”
  • The Stanley Milgram experiment on obedience to authority. Shocking results.
  • Guards who became sympathetic, and those who become “hardliners.”
  • Controversies and conclusions about this infamous study.
