Stanford Prison Study - Zimbardo Studies

The video discusses the Stanford prison experiments led by Philip Zimbardo, which explored the effects of power dynamics and authority on individual behavior. The study, which involved participants assuming roles of guards and prisoners, was terminated early due to the extreme psychological effects observed, such as depression and aggression. The findings highlight the negative impact of coercive power and its relevance to organizational behavior and management practices.
