Philip Zimbardo, renowned psychologist and creator of the 'Stanford Prison Experiment,' passed away at the age of 91, significantly impacting psychology and ethical research.
The Stanford Prison Experiment, conducted in 1971, aimed to analyze psychological effects of imprisonment but was terminated after six days due to participants' abusive behavior and emotional distress.
Critics pointed out Zimbardo's active role in the experiment, which blurred the lines between researcher and participant, raising essential questions regarding ethical practices in psychological studies.
Zimbardo's legacy extends beyond the Stanford Prison Experiment, as he explored subjects including hypnosis, altruism, and time perspective, influencing various areas in psychology.
