Quiet Rage: The Stanford Prison Study
- 1991 ----- color ----- 51 min ----- vhs
- Using the original footage from Professor Philip Zimbardo's experiment, the project in which participants were turned into prisoners and guards, is recreated. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. Half became guards and were told to humiliate and demoralize their nine prisoners who were placed in "cells." Scheduled to last for two weeks, the "prison" closed down after just six days when the conditions became too realistic for its participants to bear. Recent interviews with the participants are featured. Questions how far researchers can go in pushing subjects to their psychological and physical limits for the sake of a study.
- Topics: (Anthropology: Cultural, Law, Psychology: Social, Social Work, Sociology)
