Feb 4 Psych Talks: Why (nearly) everything you thought you knew about Zimbardo and Milgram is wrong

January 29, 2019

Please join us on February 4th at 3:00 in the Goodwin Forum for a presentation by Stephen D. Reicher, PhD from St. Andrews University, Scotland, entitled "Why (nearly) everything you thought you knew about Zimbardo and Milgram is wrong"

The Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE) and Milgram's studies on obedience have shaped the way the world views the psychology of authoritarianism and blind followership. Using a combination of new data and detailed analyses of the work of SPE and Milgram, Dr. Reicher provides evidence that neither classic study relied on blind obedience, but rather a specific social identification on behalf of which followers were willing to act and engage.
