Why do the results of zimbardo's prison study not lead to a firm conclusion?

1 answer:

7 0

The results of Zimbardo's prison study do not lead to a firm conclusion for two reasons:
a. First of all, the experiment was intended to go on for two weeks. However, due to the experiment going out of hand, it had to be stopped within 6 days. This was because many of the people who were paying the role of prisoners started getting hit and abused. Some even developed psychosomatic rashes, others started suffering from other psychological disorders.
b. Many critics believe that the results were not very reliable since Zimbardo himself was part of the experiment (he played the role of the prison warden) and could have influenced the direction of the experiment.

"Strangely" fits this since it shows that the second concept, while related to the first, is at odds with the first's premise.</span>

If you reach out and touch a dog's ear while he's sleeping it twitches. This is an example of

Roman55 [17]

A "stimulus" is basically an event that happens in the outside environment that triggers a response. So, when you touched the dog's ear, that's a stimulus. The twitch is a response! So, A is correct. But just to be sure, let's look at the rest.

Artificial selection (B) is basically breeding: when humans breed organisms in order to obtain desired traits, like breeding dog species--this is not what our example is talking about.

Natural selection (C) is a similar process. When an organism mutates, but it actually helps it survive, it is more likely than the others to survive long enough to have babies. These babies are likely to have the helpful mutation, and so are their babies, and theirs, until a good portion of them have the mutation. This is NOT the example above!

And D, reproduction--well, let's just say it would involve a female dog and lots of babies, but that's not related to our example, so that isn't right either. The answer is A: a response to a stimulus.
