Has the Stanford prison experiment been validated?
It seems a little too unrealistic to be true?

I'm quoting you, someone whi thinks humans aren't subject to science because there is an aspect of them that transcends reality of space and time. This is the only reason, by definition, that you would claim that psychology or sociology is not science. Unless you are a brainlet that dosent understand science of course, but you're not retarded, right?

What does this have to do with why the Stanford prison experiment isn't science?

How about instead of being a retard, you explain how your theory and philosophy of science excludes the standford prison experiment. Go on, im waiting.

Actually, I stated psychologists do not use the scientific method, not that people who use the scientific method don't use the scientific method. That would be silly.

Psychology is not science because its faulty methodology, not because humans have souls. People who believe in souls don't reject the concept of psychology. In fact, the orthodox Christian belief, which I assume is what you think you're arguing against, is that human beings are a unity of soul and flesh. Kind of strange for you to call others brainlet when you have such a narrow understanding of anything outside of your worldview.

Also, if you don't believe in free will, you were destined since the Big Bang to argue pointlessly about this on this shitty forum, and I was destined to laugh at your futile efforts.

It's just a simple demonstration of how just easy it is to awaken the inhumanity living deep down within each and every one of us. Evil is only possible because it can always be justified.

Ah, yes, the observer playing a direct role in the experiment is how you do legitimate social science! It's just a total coincidence how it turned out exactly how he expected.

You'd have to have literally 0 experience with academics and be literally incapable of critical thinking to believe this fantasyland nonsense.

Next you'll tell me Zimbardo was responsible for Abu Ghraib too.

People who refuse to believe they themselves are capable of atrocities given the right circumstances are the ones you should REALLY watch out for.

Yes, the Stanford Prison Experiment is totally flawless science. That's why it was so shocking when a bunch of /pol/acks performed the 4Chan Negro Experiment, where one half had to pretend to be of the negroid race, and the rest white or asian. The "negroid" group quickly became indolent, cowardly, and developed a taste for purple gatorade. The experiment had to be stopped when the students began dancing around a fire with a pot in it, and seemed to be on the verge of throwing a white student in.

Truly a shocking result. It just shows how close Man is to the jungles from which he came, and just how little "whitewash" there is separating him from total savagery.
