Question: What're your favourite experiments within psychology?

Rose Turner answered on 12 Jun 2017:

Hey James, I was inspired by the famous experiments that you might have heard about – Zimbardo’s prison experiment and Milgram’s ‘electric shock’ study for example (do you know about those?) They were interesting studies because they resulted from people trying to understand how humans were capable of doing terrible things (particularly during war). Now we have to have experiments approved by ethics committees and those particular experiments probably wouldn’t be given the go-ahead these days!
