Zimbardo and his research is one of the main reasons that I became interested in Psychology. Particularly that of Social Psychology and the workings of humans within social experiments. His Stanford Prison experiment brought about such controversy that it is still the subject of debate to this day!
I absolutely adore and admire Zimbardo, the below video was a TEDtalk that Zimbardo did on the Psychology of Evil - Warning - there are some graphic images in this video that some people may find upsetting.
The video does make you think twice about the workings of an 'evil mind' or whether it is the individual person or the situation that the person is in.....some thought provoking stuff! Let me know what you think!
