No matter what evidence is brought against it, the Stanford Prison Experiment is going to continue to be part of the psych 101 curriculum. It's going to be taught as a revealing experiment about human nature, or an example of poor experimental ethics, or both at the same time.
It's just so deeply ingrained in the way the subject is taught that it's going to stay there even if the conclusions are phony.

- wpasc 8y agoUnfortunately, in some places we still do (kinda what the OP was saying).
- daveFNbuck 8y agoI don't recall it being taught in my intro psych class. If it was mentioned, it couldn't have been essential.
- dwaltrip 8y agoI think the curriculum is likely to change over time. Change that occurs over decades is still change...
