"Philip G. Zimbardo passed away in October 2024 at age 91. He enjoyed an illustrious career at Stanford University, where he taught for 50 years. He accrued a long list of accolades, but his singular and enduring contribution to scholarship was the Stanford Prison Experiment, a simulation carried out in the university’s psychology department in August 1971. The research project became the best-known psychological analysis of institutionalization at the time.

The study has always been treated with skepticism by penologists and psychologists, and recent scholarship by social scientist Thibault Le Texier has raised fundamental questions about the scientific validity of the investigation, the originality of the research design, the unethical treatment of the subjects, and the credibility of the reported results.

Many consider Zimbardo’s SPE to be one of the classic studies of experimental psychology in the post-war period. It continues to be reported as a landmark achievement in many psychological textbooks today, despite drawing decades of criticism both in and out of the scientific literature. But considering Le Texier’s findings, should Zimbardo’s work be retracted?"

In 1971, #StanfordUniversity #psychologist Philip #Zimbardo conducted a notorious #experiment in which he randomly divided college students into two groups, guards and prisoners, and set them loose in a simulated #prison environment for six days, documenting the guards' descent into brutality.

The private journals of Philip Zambardo, the instigator of the notorious #StanfordPrisonExperiment, have just been released to the public this week, where it's been shockingly discovered that the professor largely made up the experiment's results and then hid this fact for the rest of his life, including coaching the randomized students playing "wardens" to be deliberately cruel, and instructing the "prisoners" to overact as if they were in a play.
