Stanford prison experiment

“R”Rovers are an important part of our lives. They allow us to see beyond our earth. We made our rovers to help us understand the scientific process and how to create an experiment. Making this rover also refreshed our memory of the concept of elastic energy. Not to rub it in your face, but EarthToy Designs enlisted in our help to design this rover, too. They asked us to make a rover that can be adjusted to go different distances. Of course, we have to think about the environment while making…

an article I read was about how human experimentation has many rules were made to ensure safety among the subjects. Committees of distinct individuals (RECs) help rule out unethical and dangerous experiments to protect the wellbeing of humans. They provide a professional and lay POV, and an experiment can be ruled to be unethical if not known about in these committees. Also FAS guidelines are implemented to throw out or carefully review crazy…

While there were no ethical issues, this study had a few limitations. One involving reliance on the self-report measures of abuse, neglect and self-harm that it provides no way to differentiate the actual occurrence of any of these. Other limitations discussed how the study was correlational and cross-sectional by nature, and that it is possible the order of these relationships is completely different than what results showed. For example, although theoretical literature suggests that affect…

Milgram’s study, obey at any cost, one of the most studies well known to psychology students, meant to satisfy the objective of how the idea of obedience to authority was projected. Milgram’s research in fact was a jointed research with Zimbardo’s prison study. The research conducted by Milgram was meant to show how individuals can be capable of inflicting harm onto others just because they were asked to do so. The research was in fact referring to all the hideous crimes contributed from the…

it doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do. In 1963 Stanly Milgram a psychologist at Yale University carried out an experiment where he tested the obedience of people. He wanted to know if people followed order depending on how superior there title was. One of the main goals was to figure out how far someone would go following orders even if it involved hurting someone. The experiment…

Blindspot: Hidden Biases of Good People, by Banaji and Greenwald, seeks to inform readers about how mindbugs and stereotypes influence people’s behaviors both consciously and unconsciously. The authors discuss multiple well-known scientific studies that were designed to reveal people’s in-group preferences and unconscious biases. By discussing multiple kinds of biases and explaining how they can negatively affect others in many different ways, Banaji and Greenwald open up the discussion…

multiple times, and on the last occurrence, all the other “subjects” - who were actually “confederates of the experiment” (Asch 32) - stated a wrong line. The study was to show who would state the wrong answer as well and who would stick to the correct answer. Around 75% of the testers went along with the wrong answer. (Asch 31-32). Asch, then, changed some of the variables in the experiment – such as, but not limited to, having one person say the right answer, attraction to the group, size of…

data in this paper connects the effect’s strength, the remembrance abilities allocated to real events and imaginary events, the extent to which the subjects accept the imaginary memories as real events, and the seeming cause of the outcome. In the experiment, the subjects are given a free-recall test on a 12-word list. The words in the list are all related to other mutual words not listed. Most subjects have a…

The Milgram Study Research experiments have been employed to advance the field of psychological study throughout history. Many of those past eye-opening events did not follow any particular rules, when it came to protecting the rights and welfare of the participants involved in them. Several of these experiments are now used as examples of methodologies that pose ethical dilemmas, when not regulated properly. It is said that any form of experimentation that engages in any form of deception as…

Paul Polishan, CFO and Vice President-Finance, ran the office of Leslie Fay like a dictator. Paul had control over the accounting and finance departments. He was responsible for finalizing the financial statements and ordering his subordinates to record those figures that he deemed fit or thought would window-dress the financial statements. Every transaction in the company had to pass through Paul. This implies that he had control over all the three factors of internal control, i.e. custody,…
