LIVING IN A SHARED WORLD:
Whether in gangs or companies, sports teams or political parties, we humans are intrinsically social, forever forming groups to serve our needs and interests. Social psychology deals with the issues that naturally arise when we mix and merge, including leadership and prejudice.
At the right column you can find the most famous experiments in social psychology: |
1. The bystander effect.
John Darley and Bibb Latane's experiments. The more people present at a given situation, the less likely we are to intervene when someone is in need of help. 2. Groupthink. Irving Janis' experiments. Groups of like-minded individuals shut off from outside influence can end up ignoring dissent and making some truly disastrous decisions. 3.Gordon Allport's contact hypothesis. Contact between members of different social groups helps to reduce prejudice and fosters friendly intergroup relations. 4. Milgram's obedience study. 5. Stereotype threat. Claude Steele and Joshua Aronson's experiments. 6. Follow the leader. Henri Tajfel and Michel Hogg's experiments. 7. The third wave. Ron Jones' experiment in Palo Alto. Even democratic societies are not immune to the appeal of fascism. 8. A class divided. How discrimination can be taught to small children. |

STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT
A Simulation Study of the Psychology of Imprisonment Conducted at Stanford University Welcome to the Stanford Prison Experiment web site, which features an extensive slide show and information about this classic psychology experiment.
What happens when you put good people in an evil place? Does humanity win over evil, or does evil triumph? These are some of the questions we posed in this dramatic simulation of prison life conducted in the summer of 1971 at Stanford University. http://www.prisonexp.org/ http://www.prisonexp.org/psychology/1 Slide show. |
A class divided.
One day in 1968, Jane Elliott, a teacher in a small, all-white Iowa town, divided her third-grade class into blue-eyed and brown-eyed groups and gave them a daring lesson in discrimination.
