1. Choose a topic: The topic I choose is Stanford Prison Experiment 2. Find at least 5 original empirical sources that address the topic. Provide references at the end of your paper: Links https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31380665/#:~:text=The Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE,to treat others with cruelty. https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1231538.pdf https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2632666320944316 https://www.apa.org/topics/forensics-law-public-safety/prison https://www.newyorker.com/science/maria-konnikova/the-real- lesson-of-the-stanford-prison-experiment 3. For the purposes of the outline, read the abstracts of the 5 papers: DONE 4. Formulate a sentence outline that summarizes the findings of the 5 papers: The Stanford Prison Experiment demonstrated that people quickly conform to the social roles they are expected to play, especially if the roles are as strongly stereotyped as those of the prison guards and prisoners. 5. Provide a rationale for investigating the topic further (1 or 2 sentences):
Investigating the Stanford Prison Experiment further is valuable because it offers insights into human psychology, particularly how authority and social roles can influence behavior. Understanding these dynamics can help in creating better social systems and inform training programs to prevent such negative behaviors in institutions like prisons, schools, and workplaces. It's a real eye- opener on the power of the situation over individual character. 6. Give a Conceptual Hypothesis for your Proposed Study (1 or 2 sentences): The idea is to see if people will act differently when they are given power over others just because they are told they are in charge.
