🏴☠️The Dark Side of Psychology
1. Stanford Prison Experiment 🏛️🪓
Students were randomly assigned as guards or prisoners. The “guards” became abusive, and “prisoners” experienced severe stress and emotional breakdowns. Showed how power can corrupt ordinary people.
2. Milgram Shock Experiment ⚡👨🏫
Participants were told to deliver shocks to another person. Many obeyed even when they thought they were causing real pain. Revealed the dark power of obedience. 😱
3. Little Albert Experiment 🐀👶
A baby was conditioned to fear white rats and other fluffy objects using loud noises. Demonstrated how fear can be artificially created and manipulated in innocence. He was never de conditioned :(
4. Harlow’s Monkey Experiments 🐒💔
Infant monkeys were isolated or given wire “surrogate” mothers. They suffered emotional trauma, showing how essential comfort and attachment are for development. 😿
5. The Monster Study 🏚️🗣️
Orphans were deliberately given negative speech feedback to induce stuttering. Some experienced long-term emotional harm, proving that psychological manipulation can be traumatic.
What was the reason…..poor kids and monkeys..
