Introduction: In 1971, famed social psychologist Philip Zimbardo began an experiment on the campus of Stanford University that was intended to study social roles and designed to last about two weeks. The experiment quickly took a dark turn and was abruptly ended on the sixth day. While heavily criticized, the experiment demonstrated the power of authority on behavior and sparked dialogue and new research on the human response to captivity.
