The Transformation of Ordinary People into Monsters
What turns a kind college student into a sadistic prison guard in just days? This question haunts Philip Zimbardo's groundbreaking work on the psychology of evil. In 1971, Zimbardo transformed Stanford University's basement into a mock prison, randomly assigning psychologically healthy students to roles as either guards or prisoners. The planned two-week experiment collapsed after just six days when the situation spiraled dangerously out of control. Guards who described themselves as pacifists became increasingly cruel-forcing prisoners to clean toilets with bare hands, standing on their backs during push-ups, and subjecting them to humiliating sexual taunts. Meanwhile, prisoners became passive, depressed, and helpless, with some experiencing complete emotional breakdowns. Most disturbing was how quickly everyone-including Zimbardo himself-became absorbed in their roles. The experiment ended only when an outside observer was horrified by what she witnessed. This wasn't about "bad apples" with sadistic personalities; the roles had been randomly assigned. The situation itself transformed ordinary people into monsters.
