In this exercise based on the Stanford Prison Experiment please complete the following:
1. Did the risks of the experiment outweigh the value of the results - why or why not?
2. What were the specific findings and how can they be applied to real life prisons?
3. This is a copy of the advertisement that was used to obtain volunteers -
"Male College Students needed for a psychological study of prison life. $15 dollars per day for 1-2 weeks beginning May 17th. For further information and applications contact__________."
