research psychologist: my goal is to uncover universal truths of the mind. I want to strip out the social conditioning and lay bare the essential facts of the human condition.

research psychologist: to do this I will study 40 white 20-year-olds who attend the University of Ohio

I studied psychology in university for eight years and if I catch you praising the Stanford Prison Experiment I will simply have no choice but to set you adrift in a hot air balloon

@VeryBadLlama No praise for the Stanford Prison Experiment here. Just a note that that it was not original & I suspect copied from theater. It was preceded by 8 years by a play called “The Brig” by The Living Theater in NYC in ‘63. It had the same results among student actors in a school production prior to The Stanford study. Watched from the lighting booth.
