the most sensationalized social psychology studies that are used to tell us humans are innately bad are seriously flawed, but all made for great headlines. – stanford prison (you should know this one): guards were instructed and encouraged to be cruel, didn’t do it naturally – milgram shock (often used to explain the holocaust): participants were pressured into doing it despite resistance, most believed it wasn’t “real” – marshmallow test (delayed gratification with kids): more so a measure of socioeconomic status, not predictor of success – robbers cave (kinda like diet lord of the flies): the conflict between the boys was manufactured and instigated by the researchers good stories ≠ good science

the funny thing about the milgram shock experiment is that there was an experiment on boredom where they hooked participants up to electrodes and left them alone with no instruction every participant ended up giving themselves increasingly more and more painful shocks
