Did you know that the Stanford Prison Experiment conducted by Philip Zimbardo in 1971 aimed to study the effects of perceived power on individuals? Participants were randomly assigned the roles of prisoners or guards, and the study had to be halted after just six days due to the extreme behavior displayed by the guards. Another well-known experiment is the Milgram Experiment, conducted by Stanley Milgram in 1961, which investigated obedience to authority figures. Participants were instructed to administer what they believed to be electric shocks to another person, with results showing that many individuals were willing to obey authority figures even when it meant harming others. Lastly, the Bobo Doll Experiment by Albert Bandura in 1961 demonstrated the concept of observational learning. Children who watched an adult model behaving aggressively toward a Bobo doll were more likely to replicate the behavior themselves. These experiments shed light on various aspects of human behavior and continue to be influential in the field of psychology today.
