The Stanford Prison Experiment Was a Lie (Here's What Really Happened)

You've been told that ordinary people turn into monsters the moment you hand them power. That's the lesson of the most famous psychology experiment ever run. Except the real story is far stranger than the one you were taught. In this video, you'll go inside the 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment and the secret briefings, coaching, and recordings that surfaced decades later, revealing what the guards were actually told to do. You'll also see what happened when two other psychologists ran the exact same setup in 2001, with cameras rolling and no one behind the scenes, and got a completely different result. Along the way, you'll see why this changes what the experiment actually proves about human nature, and why you might be closer to those guards than you think, every time you put on a headset, a uniform, or an online persona.
