wow! that was crazy how fast the guards and prisoners became obsorbed into the situation of "prison". They knew it was an experiment but they started to actually believe.
The other story about Kitty Genovese murder was weird how nobody would call police for help until it was to late.. was the man that killed her and the 2 other woman + rape insane?
that should help me
Thanks Nick
man that was ALOT of reading. lol..

Nick,
I'm glad you went to those websites. I am expecting you to offer a lot of input in the class discussion tomorrow.

I don't have time to read the Kitty Genovese one tonight but that Stanford prison experiment was incredible. I knew it was a powerful experiment but that guy who developed a full body psychosymatic skin rash after his parole was denied made me realize for sure that after a certain point it became real for everyone. I think the most insightful thing though was the way #416 was treated by the other prisoners. I hope the test tomorrow is on the Stanford Prison experiment. That site was incredibly helpful.

David,
I couldn't agree more with your assessment of the Stanford Prison Experiment. I think you hit the nail on the head regarding how real the whole experiment became for everyone involved.
I shudder to think what would have happened if the experiment would have lasted for its scheduled 2 weeks.

Carlisle-
i have an essay question!!!!
okay so on #4 it asks:
What factors cause pro-social behavior in people? What factors/reasons keep people from helping others?
that's like two questions in one, if put into a formal essay how would that work??
because you would have 3 bodies for the first one, and like 1 for the second one...?!
-empathy
-personal distress
-norms & values
-costs and rewards
Thanks,

Amanda,
I really don't care about how you structure the essay. I care about what you SAY in your essay.
The factors you brought up for helping looking good. Go back and review the back side of your notes from Tuesday for more information on why people don't help. See bystander effect, etc.

i have a question on #1, for the humanistic approach could i say that a person controls his future and if they are stressed they drink which helps them control the problem or so they think?

That sounds good to me.

i had one more question:
when we find out what the question is, will it be written somewhere? i find it easier to look at a visual of the quetion when i write

That's an interesting idea. How much further could they have escalated though? It couldn't possibly be legal. Do you think any of the "prisoners" are still a little scarred today? It seems to me that the experiment falls into the off-limits zone in today's world because it was so inhumane. Are there any good modern experiments that test the effects of deindividuation/obedience?
