Interlibrary Loan has come through again
You can buy it for $20 plus postage and
handling from the original professor of
psychology at Stanford Univ.
He, Phllip Zimbardo, has his own .com Web
site where he peddles the video.
He has one of those carefully tended saturnine
beards like Bob Fennell for those of you who
remember Bob. (This is not OUR Bob Vennell who
is alive and sick in Austin. Fennell was a=20
chicano by origin and known to many in
Ghetto Daze).
The video shows Zimbardo towering over a bunch=20
of very short female students possibly of high
school age. He takes them into the basement of the=20
psychology department building where the actual
6 day aborted hired prisoners/jailors experiment
was said to have taken place. The video, from 1992,=20
then shows actors reenacting the incidents of the=20
1971 experiment.
It was very difficult for me to watch the video=20
because it is so fakey. Way more fakey than
the book another pschology prof published=20
describing his own fakey prisoner/gaoler
experiment when he was an Asst Prof at
Yale where he failed to get tenure for it.
When psychology profs do "experiments" most
of the time the results confirm the mindsets=20
they walk into the room with. Surprised?
The ex-Yale professor was on the Jim Lehrer
show round the time of the Abu Graib story
came out. He talked not so much about his
lame book (published in the 70s) but of=20
the Zimbardo video scam (of 1992). I forget
his name (Merritt?????)
Joe Bob Briggs says save yur money, dont
buy the video
