I wonder if any student that actually participated in this experiment has a different take on things?

  Yep; John Mark, a guard. https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2y5sbt/iwasa_guard_in_the_1971_stanford_prison/ https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2y5sbt/iwasa_guard_in... > I personally think Zimbardo is a self-promoting sensationalists more than a serious academic researcher and I think he was aware that this had the potential to make his career. The aforementioned chat is a bunch of softballs. I do think this study warrants much more scrutiny.

    In the original link, Zimbardo misrepresents things a little bit by saying that he was ultimately the one who intervened when, in reality, it was another researcher (who was romantically involved with him and who later became his wife): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina_Maslach https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina_Maslach http://news.stanford.edu/pr/97/970108prisonexp.html http://news.stanford.edu/pr/97/970108prisonexp.html
