Except we do have evidence that the specific claims made by Zimbardo were fraudulent and we also have experimental evidence that shows that these results are not accurate if you actually implement his claimed methodology.
SPE now needs to be taken as a cautionary tale about ethics and science, nothing more.
- pas 8y agoFor the very interested but so far unlucky: where are these specific claims and the documentation of their fraudulent nature? Thanks in advanace!
- JackCh 8y agoThe article goes over several. Off the top of my head: the supposed mental breakdown of Korpi (he was faking it), Zimbardo claiming he wasn't politically motivated, Zimbardo claiming the students were free to leave at any time, Zimbardo lying or misleading as to what degree the 'guards' had been coached (specifically with regard to the role of Jaffe.) Details about each of these are available in the article.
