Stanford Prison Experiment

NOTE: For the purposes of explaining what I'm doing where in the main article, I will italicize brief explanations

''In the Results section, I will add a citation to the first sentence. Below is the citation''

In the Goals and Methods section, I will add the following information

According to a book by Dr. Roger R. Hock titled Forty Studies that Changed Psychology, "he [Zimbardo] brought in a consultant: an ex-convict who had been incarcerated for 17 years." This demonstrates that Zimbardo was attempting to make his study as realistic as possible. However, the study has received much criticism for not simulating typical prisons in the United States

I will also add this blurb

More specifically, according to Roger Hock's text, "the goal of the study was to observe, record and analyze the behavior of the prisoners and the guards." Zimbardo wanted to see if his participants "would be strong enough to overcome their personal characteristics and behavioral tendencies as students" (Hock 287).

In the Results section, I will add the following

According to Scott Drury et al. Zimbardo said in the interview that, "I described our study and said ours was kind of a minimally adequate representation of what I knew was kind of the demonization that went on in prisons."
