Q2. What did Zimbardo's work show us about the nature of roles and power? What is your reaction to these findings?
Q3. What do these studies show us about human nature?
Q4. In research, experimenters have to consider risks. At this point in time, when the studies were done, the risks were not completely understood. Much was learned about risk through these studies. In many ways, such negative outcomes changed research ethics. Why should these studies have changed researchers approaches to the assessment of risk? How should you as a researcher approach risk assessment for any research you engage or assist with?
Q5. IRBs now oversee risk of human participants in a very specific and nuanced way. Why is it important that there be external oversight by a committee that examines the risk posed to participants? How do you know/understand the need for such review panels, after learning more of this history?
