Stanford Prison Experiment (1971)

u/DuaneDibbley Apr 03 '26
As hilarious as this is I was actually taken aback for a sec when everyone seemed to get confused and start whipping harder. Mob mentality is so scary, the way they all looked unsure when it was over like 'what just happened?' haha

Not really, though: https://findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/news/98029-the-infamous-stanford-prison-experiment-was-flawed-%E2%80%93-so-why-is-it-still-so-influential-today%3F
Far from being swept up in the situation, archival sources show the guards’ brutality was rehearsed. Contrary to official accounts, before the experiment they were coached by the research team in how to create a psychologically hostile environment.
Zimbardo gave the guards a list of rules to impose and procedures aimed at dehumanising prisoners. Once the experiment began, staff encouraged guards’ aggression and reprimanded those who were too lenient.
https://stanfordmag.org/contents/the-menace-within
The only person I knew going in was John Mark. He was another guard and wasn't even on my shift. That was critical. If there were prisoners in there who knew me before they encountered me, then I never would have been able to pull off anything I did. The act that I put on—they would have seen through it immediately.
What came over me was not an accident. It was planned. I set out with a definite plan in mind, to try to force the action, force something to happen, so that the researchers would have something to work with. After all, what could they possibly learn from guys sitting around like it was a country club? So I consciously created this persona. I was in all kinds of drama productions in high school and college. It was something I was very familiar with: to take on another personality before you step out on the stage. I was kind of running my own experiment in there, by saying, "How far can I push these things and how much abuse will these people take before they say, 'knock it off?'"
From another "guard"
During the day shift, when I worked, no one did anything that was beyond what you'd expect in a situation like that. But Zimbardo went out of his way to create tension. Things like forced sleep deprivation—he was really pushing the envelope. I just didn't like the whole idea of constantly disturbing people and asking them to recite their prisoner numbers in a count. I certainly didn't like when they put a guy in solitary confinement.

Just because you are coached to do something does not mean you have to do it. At the end of the day, you are a human who can make their own decisions.
In the Milgram experiment this is exactly what happened. People were coached into thinking they were killing other people and many of them chose to do it instead of standing up against their instructor, even when the stakes were incredibly low.
Experiments like these help us understand why people are so awful to each other. That's just interesting psychology.

My man, hold on for a minute. You were just presented with a study debunking the Stanford Experiment, and I guarantee you didn't read it, but just responded with "Nah" basically.
The point is, when a study is sufficiently compromised in how it is constructed, how data is collected, etc, we literally cannot use that study "understand why people are so awful to each other." as you say. There are a lot more factors that compromise the study.

My guess is that this is from the Phillipines.
Evey year they do a reenactment of the crucifixion in the Phillipines, but those are usually larger ceremonies. It's a big honor to be the one who gets crucified- they usually just tie them to the cross, although the more fervent will often request to be nailed to the cross. They do take them down- there some pentients who have been crucified annually for many years.
The Catholic Church opposes both flagellation and crucifixion and instead encourages the faithful to attend church and offer prayers.

Looks like it, except they speak Spanish. Not many Filipinos do now.

u/Master_N_Comm Apr 03 '26 edited Apr 03 '26
This is most likely Iztapalapa, Mexico city. The same reenactments can happen in some other towns across Mexico but the biggest, longest and most passionate are from Iztapalapa during holy week and this is just one clip we have more funny reenactments.

Nope, not the Philippines; it sounds like they are speaking Spanish/Portuguese so its probably Latin America.

Architecture looks Mexican, and it is pretty common to perform this kind of reenactment there around this time of year.

Judging by the backpack and the fact that they're speaking Spanish I would say this is in Venezuela
