  • Stanford Prison Study (AO3)
    • Ethical issues: prisoners experienced psychological harm due to humilation from guards
    • Demand characteristics - some guards claimed they were acting
    • Study also lacks population validity as it only consisted of US male students
    • Altered the way prisons in America are run - juveniles are no longer housed before trial with adult prisoners
    • Zimbardo did test the student before they took part so the outcomes were not predicted
