so-called Stanford experiment but please stay tuned

Milgram was interviewed on Jim Lehrer show.
He is the author of Obedience to Authority based
to on an experiment he ran at Yale where he was an
Assistant Professor. (It should be noted that Yale
did NOT give him tenure for his work and he
moved to the less prestigous Graduate School of
City University of New York). But on the Lehrer
show he spoke NOT of his experiment but of the
so-called Stanford Experiment, different presumably
from his, Milgram's experiment of manipulating and
tricking temporary employess into bad actions.
Proving what? That those in authority can impose
themselves on others? Big deal!
It is to their credit that the Yale Psychology
department denied him tenure for this work.
(look at the book, Wayne, you'll quickly come to the
same conclusion). He subsequently received the
the annual sociopsychological prize of the
American Association of Science for this
research -- for the same work that the Yale
psychology department refused to give him
tenure for!
Wayne, is it that any nonsense you have believed
for 30 years ago is necessarily the truth?
As for Zimbardo and his experiment at Stanford
when did this take place and where was the study
published? Zimbardo is not mentioned in Milgram's
index.
