Document Summary

Original place of publication: international journal of criminology and penology: questions addressed in original study: (list the 2 5 most important questions addressed in the original study) Did the prison change people or did the people going into prison already different: findings of original study: (list the 2 5 most important findings of the original study) Create a simulating prison and put people into it and research their behavior. The environment around you, the situation, determines how you behave more strongly than whom you are. Random assignment to either the role of guard or prisoner would result in significantly different reactions in the mock prison environment and behavioral measures of interaction, emotional measures of mood and pathology. Zimbardo used an ex-convict that was incarcerated for 17 years to create a more realistic feel to the prison.
