weirdqafanWatching the latest Veronica Mars episode and that 'study' that the Sociology professor is doing in this episode, was done at Stanford in 1971.
We studied it in my Psych class last year. It was deemed highly unethical due to the cruelty done upon the students, how it got outta hand really damn quickly and since it raised questions about informed consent, 'cuz did the student volunteers who were assigned to be 'prisoners' really aware of what they were getting into.
More info on the Stanford Prison Experiment.
ETA: And I could seriously do without the Jewish slurs.
