Sometimes I do question if I’m rude, or weird, or what. I get treated like a 5 year old by my peers, and get weird looks whenever I say anything. No one else treats me like this, and no one else in the school is treated like this. Last year, it became a huge trend to just randomly shout my name when I’m in earshot, and act like nothing happened. I became unresponsive to my own name, until I became good friends with people who actually see me, and appreciate me.
That's a case of bad association. Some people put other's down to make themselves feel better about their own sadness. It's the wrong thing to do, but all you can do is stay away from people like this.
@@Leoo117 the issue is, it’s everyone, say for a few people. I try to spend as much time with them as possible, but I don’t share many classes with them. Thank you anyways.
@MetaRunner#514 I see. Well, as much as you can help it, hang around those that treat you how you want to be treated. And for the ones that mess with you, it's good to be unbothered in a way that allows you to have fun with it. So, for example, if they call you and turn away, you can say something like, "what was that sqeeky sound?". Or something like, "my name is Cletus", or some other weird and unusual name like batman and change the name you say everytime. Just for fun. This allows you to lead the interaction with a light heart and have fun seeing their reaction to you saying ridiculous things. If they give you weird looks, say, "That's right, I said it". This is how I've handled things like this, by just having fun with it. You can come up with your own ways to have fun, but people tend to respond better when they see you aren't offended and you like to play around. In many cases, they kind of start to follow your lead a little bit and play around, too. If they are outright disrespectful, you can't play with that. You have to tell them that you didn't appreciate that and to treat you with the same respect that you treat them with. Walk away if they continue to be disrespectful.
The Stanford Prison Experiment did not go down exactly as you described. Zimbardo repeatedly told and even intimated the guards to act as evil as possible. He manufactured the whole experiment. In fact, the first day or two started pretty peacefully but he was not satisfied so he stepped in to make sure the guards were more aggressive. Most of the guards did not want to bully or torment the prisoners but were forced into it by Zimbardo. He for example argued that the peaceful guards stood in the way of science. The whole experiment shows us nothing about humans, or evil in general. It is a case study of a corrupted researcher who influenced the process all the way through.
... well, pointing to that guy doesn't change much if the 'guards' - even dislikingly - did obey to these interventions, as to 'orders', in not even life-threatening context (like a war tribunal looming). trying to come up with an 'absolution' as above seems to be telling, though.
@@VaronPlateando It is not an absolution since most of the guards don't need it. I did not mention everything, like the fact that some of the guards just left the experiment.
Palmer & palmer et Al proved that ordinary, well educated middle class men will do horrendous things if they are told to do so by someone in a position of authority. Test subjects came in calm and at ease and left shaking and in tears, two even had seizures but less than 5% stopped it.
I was wondering, how in the world do prison guards turn so violent in couple of days. And what happend to those that are bullied, did they became evil and tyranical them selfs?
This experiment was largely discredited since its initial acceptance. Zimbardo was unhappy with the outcome of the first few hours of the experiment (prisoners and guards largely getting along, guards even expressing a desire to conduct themselves with the rights of prisoners in mind) and intervened to encourage the guards to be more cruel (because he wasn’t getting the results he wanted). Some guards refused, others went along thinking it was for the sake of an unbiased (read: scientific) experiment. Then prisoners were encouraged to rebel by those with knowledge of the desired outcome. While the general message P2G is promoting at the end of this video is commendable, giving voice to a discredited social experiment carries the consequence of giving credence to bad science.
I read the original transcript of Zimbardos observations of the experiment today. He may of influenced them a bit in the beginning to have more of a barrier between the guards and prisoners because everyone involved was aware it was an experiment. However he never told the guards what rules or punishments to put in place. The guards weren't ordered to strip the prisoners naked and take their beds. They weren't ordered to make a "privilege" cell and put "gold" inmates in there and award them clothing, beds, and better food. They weren't forced to starve the prisoners which they briefly did. The guards were still tyrannical with their power. At the end of the experiment the guards fell into three groups. The evil, the neutral, and the so called good who still would stand up against the evil. Zimbardo even observed that on Wednesday which I believe was day 4 of the experiment, majority of the subjects involved had already blurred the line between the experiment and reality so much that they didn't realize that had the ability to leave the experiment. The prisoners begged for a priest and most of the prisoners introduced themselves by their prison number, the priest encouraged them to get lawyers involved and try for parole, which many of them did try for. These people felt so trapped that they genuinely didn't realize they could leave of their own free will. The experiment may not of shed as much light on mankind's inherent good or evil as intended but the findings are still fascinating and useful to understand human nature. I'm not defending the ethics of the experiment I'm just saying that the beginning of the experiment wasn't as impactful as people try to make it to be when looking at the whole picture
The Stanford experiment is not really thwt reliable since the researchers tried to influence the experiment, fortunately someone with brain caught up on them.
I'm doing a project on Zimbardo for my psych class rn that's how I learned about it. Can you believe the experiment was supposed to go on for two whole weeks? It's so messed up albeit fascinating
Thanks for your videos. I have now decided that once I'm 18 I would move out and go to a better place away from my family. I will make myself capable of doing better things. I won't let anyone including my family make me think I'm worthless.
Look up how eventually everyone in the experiment blurred the lines between reality and the experiment, leading to genuine misuse of power and the prisoners suffering. It's quite fascinating once you get a full look at it and you'll realize that just because Zimbardo did that doesn't mean nothing useful came from the experiment
Hello, Psychtogo! I really just want to say your videos are so wholesome, and so helpful to me and many more more people! You helped me learn about mental health, and you made tough to talk about topics look normal to talk about. Thank you for your wonderful videos! I hope Psychtogo will be known to more people across youtube, as you guys work so hard to make animations, and of course make mental health more assessable to everyone.
ooh so glad you’re covering this the power that social roles can have on a person is so fascinating and how the brain just fully takes control in these situations. super cool stuff
We aren't evil as true nature of human beings, we have higher consciousness which transcends evilness. It's how we have been raised and treated as we grew up. It's natural if we have been grown on toxic environment we'll become good or evil to protect ourselves. We all have both goodness and evilness it's how we choose to act and our evil actions comes from past hurt and traumas.
... well, I guess you may profit seriously from some intake on evo.psych. eg 'the ape that understood the universe' (s. steward-granger). and later one may talk about non-dualism etc.
Brilliant video as always! Ive heard talk of people having a "Hero Complex" or of people accusing others of having such a complex, i.e. wanting to help out a lot. Do we think that this video concludes that a Hero Complex is better than no heroic tendancies at all? (i.e. wanting to help a lot would be better than always being a bystander). That picturing yourself as a hero in waiting may help to reduce "evil" tendancies?
@@MasakanSolaris sociopathy doesn't make you evil lmfao? it depends on what the individual does with it. and sociopathy isn't from birth it STILL comes from environmental factors?? maybe learn a little more before spouting stupid shit
@@Psych2go The student playing the authorities getting too well into their roles, the physical torture that happened and the psychological suffering the ones playing the prisoners had to endured before the experiment ended.
Although I don't want to disregard the experiment, nor the findings of a learned psychologist, I can't help but notice a big flaw in the experiment: from my personal experience, people that are generally good are more submissive and prone to adapt their behaviour to their bolder peers. At school, there is often just one bully, but many bystanders who say nothing, either because they are scared of becoming a target, or join their side to keep themselves separated from the victim. That means that there's a high chance that if the participants were picked only from the students that were more submissive and less prone to wanting power, the outcome would probably be different. For example, many of my classmates from high school were good people at their core but would be willing to fight, argue or create drama just for the fun of it, while most of the more quiet and reserved students were generally those who would often offer help without being asked for it, genuinely care for others and never willingly hurt people. Although it would be dangerous to repeat the experiment, I believe that if these precautions were followed, the outcome would be different. At the very least, the people would take much longer than the original few days to turn like this. That's why there are psychological evaluations for prison guards.
They actually did psychological evaluations and personality testing before the experiment began and they cut down the total number of subjects to 24 when before it was over 70 I believe
This whole experiment is just a case of bad association. We are all influenced by those we associate with. So if someone does bad things, or is rude and mean, and we hang around them a lot, we are likely to ruin our good habits and pickup their bad habits. Its almost inevitable. I remember a bible scripture that says that bad association spoils useful habits. So its important for us to be careful with whom we associate with. This is really what his experiment proved.
Interesting perspective. So do you believe that it is only due to bad association that "good people" become bad? Or do you believe that people are innately evil and are sometimes encouraged by the environment to unleash evil deeds?
@@Psych2go I believe bad association is only one major factor. The encouragement of one's environment is also a factor, but that would fall into association. I don't believe anyone is innately evil or is born this way, but if we are not careful, or don't know any better, or don't have our own set of principles, we can fall into it. Whether that'd be because of coping with a fear and insecurity in the wrong way, or a loss of hope, or just fostering a thought that we know deep down is bad, we can all be susceptible to bad deeds. I think that being humble enough to know that we are not impervious to it and accepting that we need to take our own steps to avoid getting caught up in bad behavior is a good first step to protecting ourselves.
I have a compassionate nature but traumatic events over time changed me. My “base personality” is still there but how my trauma has effected me is like a shadow or layer over my personality. Sometimes they conflict each other but my trauma based self basically has priority over the other
I haven't watched psych2go in forever and I had no idea they made videos like this! I'm watching this because I have a project on Phillip Zimbardo for my psych class and I hopped down the rabbit hole of the Stanford prison experiment
I get your point but there is another lesson in this experiment and that is All Humans are equal and if one start to think He /she is upper or lower than the other he /she will suffer. We all have different rolls to perfome but same value and equal chance to show our talent.
Very surprised to hear about "Das Experiment"! I don't think this is a very famous movie but the premise is strikingly similar to that of the Standford Prison Experiment. Did you enjoy the film?
Another channel named Plainly Difficult also covered this experiment as well. I found it to be a bit gruesome but also fascinating how everything ended. Both of these videos tho are very good. I like that this has come to light a bit more. I never even knew about this event until I came across these videos.
@@Psych2go it was actually surprising to me, but the results actually made sense in some ways. If someone is forced to be aggressive, against their will or not, bad outcomes tend to be the result of forced behavior. As with the experiment, it also showed how abuse of power is very easily manipulated to be acceptable by a higher power. I was just genuinely intrigued in the idea of science. By the idea of psychology, though, it’s completely immoral. However, experiments from back then are just as history now. I’m more thankful by the fact that we have a much more acceptably comfortable and more mentally stable/acceptable practices to further improve and learn about psychology.
The entire experiment was very gruesome. I'm not sure how much you know but there are recounts of the prisoners losing the privilege to use the restroom in anything but a bucket, being stripped naked, starved, left without beds, and having to clean out the buckets of human waste with their bare hands. It's quite disturbing especially if you consider the fact that all of the prisoners genuinely forgot that they had the ability to leave at any time they chose
Something I've come to understand is what's called the bystander effect. Sometimes, a situation can be so shocking, that even people with good intention can see something so shocking that they're put into a psychological loop of "Is this actually happening!?" and they stand there and watch the event unfold, frozen in a state of shock. It's important to understand this when keeping good situational awareness along with a readiness and willingness to intervene in a situation and help those in need. My Dad was in a meeting once, and the man giving a presentation went into a seizure due to the stress of stage-fright! Everyone else sat in there seats doing nothing but gawking, while my Dad and one other coworker of his ran up to hold the man down and not let him hurt himself and called 911. Crazy how a mundane situation can do a complete 180 and become a dangerous situation and catch people off their guard like that.
That's interesting. I think that the bystander effect is pretty real, not because we don't care about something but because what we're seeing right in front of us is quite unbelievable. About the man giving presentation, was he okay after?
@@Psych2go Yes, he turned out alright. He apperently suffers from frequent seizures, but has medication for it. He didn't require any immediate medical attention.
... 'love' - really ?! unless you come up with a operable and coherent, thus not cognitive-dissonance inducing definition it seems you just provided a pathetically ridiculous meme. or maybe, I'm missing the true cynicism here ?!
@@VaronPlateando In this video, she did mentioned that “Good and evil lives within every one of us.” which i believe we all experience our own traumas and without getting to know how to heal from it, that’s our shadow side. Do you actually believe that a healthy inner child do not pick side, is neither good or evil? I have my own set of thinking, you have yours so being respectful is well needed. Words could make as well as break somebody so be mindful. Thanks for sharing your thought. I guess it is hard to be a kid when we’re an adult but i’ve always tried my best to not lose sight of my inner child, to keep he or/and she(No Gender Specific in my opinion) in check, maybe you can try it too, listen to no one but be your own greatest guidance. Sending love & positive vibes your way, that’s my whole point 🤍❤️
This experiment is scary!! Imagine doing the Little Albert experiment in the next video That said experiment is causing trauma on a baby boy and it’s awful
@@jackinthebox9730 I could be wrong bit wasn't that found out many years later? There experiment was already cruel but they were uncertain if it could be undone.
It is quite funny to me how much of this shaped my entire life. When I was a kid I wasn’t into superheroes or anything like that , and I always found it odd how many of my friends wanted to be heroes. “A hero is nothing without a good villain” was the way I saw it, and I ended up willingly playing the villain in a lot of scenarios in my life. The strange thing is that I was saved by both the concept of the antihero(which definitely helped because I struggled with both autism and depression, which made the antihero a far more relatable place to start), and the simple thinking that “doing the right things without reason can help you FIND reason”. I just started acting the way I figured an antihero would. Then I reached a point where I began to dig myself out. And like any character that gets a redemption arc, I just followed the path I saw.
Thank you for sharing your personal experience with us. What action, in your opinion, would be considered "antiheroic" as opposed to villainous? How did these antiheroic actions help you get a "redemption arc"? Could you tell us a bit more?
@@Psych2go I think I should start by borrowing words that are a more eloquent description. “Mercy to a perpetrator must not come at the expense of their victims” , “can I really improve and be something worth saving” , “if you struggle to do good without reason, start by doing good to find that reason” . The phrasing is better, but the meaning is the same as what got me through a difficult part of life. I have both high functioning autism, and major depressive disorder. Due to the nature of these I was often viewed as pessimistic, rude, and things like that., and I would often only act to help people when it would benefit me, because “it is illogical to do things you don’t want to do for no reason”. I lived this way all through school. It wasn’t like I would stay out of things out of malice, but I would sit by and watch when I couldn’t see any benefit to helping. Because of how I saw the “heroes” and the “villains” I figured I must be wrong, must be evil. The reality was that I never really did many things to help others that didn’t benefit me (or that I wasn’t made to do). I hadn’t had any experience with it, no real emotional connection. The term antihero broke me out of the prison my mind was in , telling me I must be evil and got me to a point of actually working to become someone I can say would be worth saving, and being worth saving became my “benefit”.. I found myself feeling more. More connections , desire to help friends. I reached a point where I felt good. I feel like I am all over the place here , but I hope it has come through clearly.
We kinda went through the same thing. Growing up I'm mostly exposed to superheroes. Whether it be movies, cartoons, games etc. But I'm not really the type of person to be interested in the concept of heroism, in fact i find myself more intrigued by villains supervillains alike, even to the point that i kind of sympathize with serial killers than i see them as monsters like people do. Or so i thought. As I continued to grow up, i met so many amazing people. Teachers, RUclipsrs, entertainers, V-tubers. By the time the pandemic started, i saw them as heroes. People who would risk their time and lives to bring a smile to people. I started idolizing them, and wanting to be like them. When i found this anime titled "My Hero Academia" is when i discovered my true fascination with superheroism. It made me realize a lot of things about myself, not just where my passion lies, but also who and what i want to be. Even if let's say my favorite character from the show is a villain, it was very inspiring to me at least, and all of them converges to one thing, which heroism. Your quote was "A hero is nothing without a good villain" right? That sentence holds some truth to it, but people like to take things out of context. Heroes exist. They are normal people who do extraordinary things. They save people, with a smile. Reassuring them that everything will be okay, because they are here. They don't exist to have an epic fight with the villains and win, villains only exist as a catalyst for a hero to be born. After all, what is there to save, when there's no evil to vanquish? To quote from the show itself, "One For All is created to kill All For One, but you all helped cultivate this power. Today, it's become something greater. A power meant to save."
This is very well explained and understandable even for simple minds as my own. I wonder if there has ever been research of _heroic addiction_ (for lack of a better) reverse effect. There seems to be situations where repressed personalities stand up to a bully and then _become_ the bully. It cascades into a vendetta that burglarizes their justice sensibilities..... It's surely how at least _some_ of the bullies are created.
Interesting perspective. It can be theorized that we can't categorize people into bullies and victims but rather that all of us have the capability to become bullies at the end.
If you find it that interesting the original observations Zimbardo made on the experiment are simple to understand as well. The language is easy to understand since it's just a transcript of what he said and it even cursed a couple times. Really interesting read and you can understand some of the more graphic and disturbing details with that as well
I say it is the Mindset we make in the age between 10 to 15. I will accept the truth Or I will not accept the truth. How to help others Or Just how to help myself. So i say its Mindset.
“Punishment will break a good man’s spirit, or make a bad man worse.” - Horatio Hornblower, C. S. Forrester The implication of this is that there is only one way to deal with an evil man.
Heck a 14 year old black boy was absolutely tortured just because a white woman lied about him whistling to her in a store and I think you know who this is to
I would push back a bit, it's common to have people who can tick all of the boxes and still choose to be good or evil. For example, my parents and my friends parents, both equally have the same amount of power over us but mine acted in their own self interests whilst other parents haven't. When they get called out for their problems, there are some who choose to atone and some who don't, despite having the same amount of power as those that do, to those that don't.
@@Psych2go The Stanford Prison Experiment... yes they did an actually film.. it came out in 2015.... Ezra Miller who's playing The Flash Film as Flash starred in the film.. I never saw the film just yet... but it seems so intense
It's the bullied that usually end up with PTSD and other psychological effects from the trama which they either liv in fear or becomes a force to reckon with facts..
I really appreciate the Hero component in this presentation. ~TD, Boston "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good (people) to do nothing." ~Edmund Burke
I have ADHD and also suffer from depression, so yes. A lot of people with ADHD struggle with emotional regulation and suffer from what is called Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria which can make your emotions feel so much more intense. It is worth looking into and if you think you might have ADHD or depression please speak to your doctor about it. Personally I was recently diagnosed ADHD at the age of 30. I regret not seeking help sooner, now that I know what is going on I have started treatment and am getting better. Hope you are well.
random question: what would you think would happen if people were to limit emotions say with a manmade part. or if humans just completely forgo emotions. what would be some effects on what would happen? how would progress be effected?
Well, I can’t say for sure. I’m not some college professor just a student in an ap psych class but this question was very interesting, this is what I think about it. Firstly, emotions play a crucial role in decision-making and problem-solving. Without emotions, humans would have difficulty making choices or even determining what is essential to them. Emotions also play a critical role in empathy and social connection. By limiting emotions, people would definitely struggle to connect with others on an emotional level, leading to social isolation and probably loneliness. Secondly, emotions are what drive motivation and passion, which are essential for innovation and progress. For example, scientific breakthroughs and creative works often come from individuals who are passionate about their work and motivated by a desire to solve problems or express themselves. Limiting emotions would likely result in a reduction in creativity and innovation. Finally, they also serve as a signal for physical and psychological well-being. Without emotions, people may have difficulty recognizing and addressing their own needs, leading to a decline in overall health and well-being. In summary, limiting or foregoing emotions would have significant and far-reaching consequences for individuals and society, including difficulty with decision-making, social isolation, reduced creativity and innovation, and a decline in overall health and well-being. Like I said this was based off little research and just going off my notes. to make educated guesses but this is a really cool question and something worth looking into more.
There would definitely be more widespread effects like societal division and reduced social cohesion I just went more into the more obvious and probably more simple effects it would have
@@choco7150 I always ask myself this question whenever I get hurt by people I care about. Just thinking that it would technically prevent me from ever getting hurt like this again. But I always know that it would be a direct insult to myself, as I could never allow myself to be heartless or to not treat everyone with compassion. Even if I'm hurt, I never let it get to people I interact with. Yet still, being absolutely emotionless is a big weakness in my opinion. I don't think anyone would like that.
Evil is the use of power in a way that will benefit you by exploiting others......... It's often a reality that powerful people choose to prioritise their own needs..... This is why they choose power over humanity.....
We learned about this in both my high school and college psychology class. Absolutely insane. I feel like if it had taken place in modern day he would’ve been arrested
Yes. Noawadays, an experiement like this would be considered unethical. When you learned about this in highs school and college, what were some things that you discussed?
I would always say to myself that alot guards are no different than the people who are in custody. Coming to work to let off some steam is ideal for most guards 🤷🏽♂️
These people are trying to help us. They want to help us have a better life, a more healthy and happy life. A way to fight back against the things thay hurt us, not an excuse for a victim party. Yes, things hurt and other people are out of our control byt your thoughts and reactions are not. Apply this everywhere, oick the RIGHT thing, the GOOD thing. Like the lady said, it isnt easy, but it gets easier and something i can add myself, its SO WORTH it when you do! So go be a more heroic you!
The guards were also showed the guards the film cool hand luke and gave them uniforms to match. That encouraged them to confirm to the role of evil guard.
One thing i know that can change a person into evil or become a whole different person is "power" if you hold more power you become more confident, be the ones who hunt. If you hold less power you become a prey. Thats just most of it in the sociaity. So some become bads, some become goods and some become nobody just to avoid all of this. Everybody does something for a reason. I couldnt hate anyone cuz of that fact
Good is simply the use of power to help those seen as "beneath" a person in status. Evil is merely the use of power to hurt those seen as "beneath" to benefit the one in power. Good fosters humility, kindness, persuasion, and justice. Evil fosters selfishness, greed, coercion, and tyranny. It's why we seen corporations as inherently evil and charities as inherently good, and there's more truth in that assumption than we usually like to admit. Evil is very much a product of modern systems built on stupid, failed ideas and outdated power structures that have really never worked well. Sadly, people don't want to put the money and work in to redesign these systems well, so the problems continue to get worse.
Phycosis problem can you help Explain how to treat it please ? I always in solitude and often loss in my negative thoughts.. I can't tell what real and what not.
Problem with Standford prison experiment is not only that it was unethical, BUT also it was poorly done. Zimbardo actively encouraged guards to do “bad” things. This is why Standford prison experiment is not taken seriously in scientific community. It just didn’t bring any useful data.
I feel like the real issue with it is that people only look at it for what the experiment was initially intended for. The results may not tell us what the experiment was created to tell us but it still shows how malleable the human mind is and honestly how easily it can be brain washed. Every participant at some point throughout the experiment blurred the lines between reality and the experiment, even Zimbardo himself struggled briefly at one point in time. The prisoners all together forgot the had the choice to leave whenever they wanted and requested parole and developed different ways of coping when that parole was denied. When they requested it each prisoner was asked if they would give up all of the money they'd earned through the experiment to get parole and over half said yes. They could've left at any point in time but they were so used to being stuck in their environment that they forgot it was an option
Keep in mind all of this occured in less than a week which really says a lot about our minds and I feel like people refuse to look at it that way because Zimbardo himself didn't
@@njan5107 I think you miss my point. There could easily be scientific value in other things from the experiment just not necessarily in good and evil. The subjects were essentially brainwashed into believing they were truly in prison and couldn't leave. That's something that warrants more research and if looked into in regards to this experiment could show a lot of interesting information
This experiment didn’t explain: Fear of being seen as outcasts is linked to Herd and Tribal instincts, and drives our subliminal priorities for unconscious yearning for safety. Also, Dr Philip Zimbardo didn’t know to focus on the subject of sensory shutdown correlated with cognitive and moral blind spots, and he did know of the counterpoint of Emotional/Sensory Reawakening, based on engaging with music and the arts, and the existential significance of that during current COUNTDOWN2045. Surprisingly, 300 years ago J.S.Bach was aware of his music to have the effect of antidote to sensory deactivation pressure. That is the reason why he defied dogmas for zombified music. But his strive was not followed and his music became the victim of the tradition, contrary to his lifelong battle with inner force of Herd instinct. Most of his music had been performed in mechanical way. That is why, his miniature masterpiece with the meaning of musical Parody remained obscured and unnoticed. But when it was played with no emotional withholding, it revealed what should be hard to miss - many dissonant sonorities that were banned from use by rules of his time, and yet he emboldened their sonic clashing impact with rhythmic emphasis and used them many times and in such way that reveals his approach of neuroscientist to his music almost three centuries prior to birth of this field… #BachSensoryDeactivationEffect To the great surprise of many prominent scientists, 300 years ago JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH, genius music educator with neuroscientist’s mindset, found unexpected incredible solution for the blind spots of the human mind that turn seemingly normal people into proponents of evil. That is the subject of the incredibly important for humanity Stanford Prison Experiment that Bach’s music calls to revise, by considering different settings for testing people for discovered hopeless incivilities, appearing to be “innate” for human nature, lurking in the realms of the dark corners of unconscious mind… MUSIC INSTINCT is the powerful force in our mind, ur since Academia in both science and Arts are live under common for our society compartmentalization, a lot of problems on the intersection of both had been “obscured” by the blind spot of both the public and … well, those, who are at the helm of our society’s intellectual elite - in the power positions in Sciences and the Arts. That’s the reason why information critical to know for both remains without dissemination. And also, there are many other obstacles to logical functioning of individuals and institutions run by them. But the blind spots caused by social influences of groupthink and authority pressure interfere in major way. That is why, MUSIC INSTINCT had been left it of the picture by many important researchers of brain and mind. Perception of many subjects in this field and therefore in many other parts of reality are about to begin changing thanks to citizen’s stand for insisting on high ethics in music - the vibrational Art that is based on the vibrational essence of our universe, at the subatomic particles level
Depending on where your from you can be deemed good or evil upon the culture and background of the place. If you were to take someone who is evil in one place and put them in another they would be a hero.
These results do not apply to everyone. What is important is to see how they are subtly incorporated into military and paramilitary recruitment to select the most willing to comply without question to authority.
People are evil in nature. Greed is the root of all evil, desire comes in second. Greed is engraved to us, it is our desire to be the best that turns us into one. The people who seems to overcome greed are false people, you just have to give or starve them power to unmasked their facade. People give because they have something to give, remember that.
The experiment itself is kinda if-y, as in this should not be done today or not ever in the first place even though it showed some interesting results. I have heard of this experiment but does it go into detail about the type of person who would refuse to follow orders?
I know it's not the intent of the videos but if you understand what is going on with bullies and why they do what they do. Your knowledge can become a weapon. Taking them down with mere words, striking at their very core. If they get even more hostile. That's just them not willing to admit that maybe there is something wrong with what their doing. Physical violence heals (unless killed which proves even further that said bully has a conflict that they are not willing to resolve).

Never call a dog with a whip in your hand! African Proverb meaning: Using force, fear or aggression to control or direct people is not the right way to go. We’re just starting to realize that, as we evolve.
Despite inspiring other research, the standfort prison experiment was debunked. It has been proven that zimbardo influenced the behavior of the participants to get the desired result. His ads seeking participants were written in such a way that they were more likely to attract aggressive individuals. Many of the torturous things done to the prisoners were introduced to the guards by himself, and many other things made the experiment unreliable. The experiment was also performed again without the influence of zimbardo and in this second experiment the guards and prisoners both behaved very humanely and nothing really interesting happened. Unfortunately, the standfort prison experiment is much more well known than the fact that the findings were unreliable and unscientific.
The Stanford experiment isn't useful for the ideas of good and evil but it can be applied to other things. Zimbardo said himself in his observations that the prisoners and guards blurred reality and the experiment so much that the prisoners forgot they had the ability to leave. No matter if he influenced the experiment or not that is insane that the prisoners were requesting parole and had to find genuine ways to cope with it being rejected. I read the transcript of Zimbardos original observations of the experiment today and he said that when one of the prisoners was feeling ill and asked to see a doctor so Zimbardo spoke to him privately and told him to leave the experiment. During this the guards pulled the prisoners from their cells for a count and had them chant the sick prisoners number. The sick prisoner was able to hear this and told Zimbardo he didn't want to go to the doctor and needed to go back so he wants a "bad" prisoner and Zimbardo told the prisoner that he was part of an experiment and introduced himself as Doctor Zimbardo. Zimbardo said he told the prisoner that both to convince the prisoner and himself that it was true.
@@yeetusdeletus4304 It's true that there is some stuff to learn, but you have to be careful with what you take from it A lot, and I mean A LOT of the behavior was influenced by both factors outside the experiment and Zimbardo himself It's hard to figure out what is and isn't true, especially the stuff coming directly from Zimbardo That doesn't necessarily mean that the example you gave is wrong, but because everything was messed with, it's worth it to take it all with a big grain of salt
@@hoodie3388 it truly doesn't make sense how Zimbardos influence on causing a rift between both parties could transfer over to the subjects losing a sense of what is real and what isn't. There's also the fact that the prisoners wanted parole and requested it. There's so much untapped potential with that aspect of the outcome that I feel like no one has looked into further
@@yeetusdeletus4304 I'm not saying that didn't happen, but I am saying that I don't trust Zimbardo's documentation of what happened Obviously what happened to those prisoners was real, but we can't trust Zimbardo on the details I think the reason people haven't looked into it further is because it would be highly unethical to put test subjects through that At one point they did try to recreate it, but because there was no influence on the guards, the guards didn't become cruel, making the results completely different
Sometimes I do question if I’m rude, or weird, or what. I get treated like a 5 year old by my peers, and get weird looks whenever I say anything. No one else treats me like this, and no one else in the school is treated like this. Last year, it became a huge trend to just randomly shout my name when I’m in earshot, and act like nothing happened. I became unresponsive to my own name, until I became good friends with people who actually see me, and appreciate me.
that’s just disgusting… hope you can feel better soon.
That's a case of bad association. Some people put other's down to make themselves feel better about their own sadness. It's the wrong thing to do, but all you can do is stay away from people like this.
@@Leoo117 the issue is, it’s everyone, say for a few people. I try to spend as much time with them as possible, but I don’t share many classes with them. Thank you anyways.
@MetaRunner#514 I see. Well, as much as you can help it, hang around those that treat you how you want to be treated.
And for the ones that mess with you, it's good to be unbothered in a way that allows you to have fun with it. So, for example, if they call you and turn away, you can say something like, "what was that sqeeky sound?". Or something like, "my name is Cletus", or some other weird and unusual name like batman and change the name you say everytime. Just for fun. This allows you to lead the interaction with a light heart and have fun seeing their reaction to you saying ridiculous things.
If they give you weird looks, say, "That's right, I said it". This is how I've handled things like this, by just having fun with it. You can come up with your own ways to have fun, but people tend to respond better when they see you aren't offended and you like to play around. In many cases, they kind of start to follow your lead a little bit and play around, too.
If they are outright disrespectful, you can't play with that. You have to tell them that you didn't appreciate that and to treat you with the same respect that you treat them with. Walk away if they continue to be disrespectful.
@@Leoo117 that’s a very good way to stand above it without acting the same way or fuelling their actions. Very well said!
The Stanford Prison Experiment did not go down exactly as you described. Zimbardo repeatedly told and even intimated the guards to act as evil as possible. He manufactured the whole experiment. In fact, the first day or two started pretty peacefully but he was not satisfied so he stepped in to make sure the guards were more aggressive. Most of the guards did not want to bully or torment the prisoners but were forced into it by Zimbardo. He for example argued that the peaceful guards stood in the way of science.
The whole experiment shows us nothing about humans, or evil in general. It is a case study of a corrupted researcher who influenced the process all the way through.
... well, pointing to that guy doesn't change much if the 'guards' - even dislikingly - did obey to these interventions, as to 'orders', in not even life-threatening context (like a war tribunal looming). trying to come up with an 'absolution' as above seems to be telling, though.
@@VaronPlateando It is not an absolution since most of the guards don't need it. I did not mention everything, like the fact that some of the guards just left the experiment.
Palmer & palmer et Al proved that ordinary, well educated middle class men will do horrendous things if they are told to do so by someone in a position of authority. Test subjects came in calm and at ease and left shaking and in tears, two even had seizures but less than 5% stopped it.
Quite ironic when you consider his words "Evil is simply the exercise of power." seems like he was projecting a bit there then.
I was wondering, how in the world do prison guards turn so violent in couple of days.
And what happend to those that are bullied, did they became evil and tyranical them selfs?
This experiment was largely discredited since its initial acceptance. Zimbardo was unhappy with the outcome of the first few hours of the experiment (prisoners and guards largely getting along, guards even expressing a desire to conduct themselves with the rights of prisoners in mind) and intervened to encourage the guards to be more cruel (because he wasn’t getting the results he wanted). Some guards refused, others went along thinking it was for the sake of an unbiased (read: scientific) experiment. Then prisoners were encouraged to rebel by those with knowledge of the desired outcome.
While the general message P2G is promoting at the end of this video is commendable, giving voice to a discredited social experiment carries the consequence of giving credence to bad science.
I read the original transcript of Zimbardos observations of the experiment today. He may of influenced them a bit in the beginning to have more of a barrier between the guards and prisoners because everyone involved was aware it was an experiment. However he never told the guards what rules or punishments to put in place. The guards weren't ordered to strip the prisoners naked and take their beds. They weren't ordered to make a "privilege" cell and put "gold" inmates in there and award them clothing, beds, and better food. They weren't forced to starve the prisoners which they briefly did. The guards were still tyrannical with their power. At the end of the experiment the guards fell into three groups. The evil, the neutral, and the so called good who still would stand up against the evil. Zimbardo even observed that on Wednesday which I believe was day 4 of the experiment, majority of the subjects involved had already blurred the line between the experiment and reality so much that they didn't realize that had the ability to leave the experiment. The prisoners begged for a priest and most of the prisoners introduced themselves by their prison number, the priest encouraged them to get lawyers involved and try for parole, which many of them did try for. These people felt so trapped that they genuinely didn't realize they could leave of their own free will. The experiment may not of shed as much light on mankind's inherent good or evil as intended but the findings are still fascinating and useful to understand human nature. I'm not defending the ethics of the experiment I'm just saying that the beginning of the experiment wasn't as impactful as people try to make it to be when looking at the whole picture
I recently learned about this in my sociology class and I was horrified by the outcome of the experiment.
Yooooooooo ur profile pic! U a she-ra fan too? Did you see she-ra at 5:33
The Stanford experiment is not really thwt reliable since the researchers tried to influence the experiment, fortunately someone with brain caught up on them.
i did this in my psychology class😂😂😂 but we did the Milgred experiment, so interesting
Don't worry, its discredited.
I'm doing a project on Zimbardo for my psych class rn that's how I learned about it. Can you believe the experiment was supposed to go on for two whole weeks? It's so messed up albeit fascinating

Phillip Zimbardo actually pushed the "gaurds" to be mean to the "prisoners". They were just hanging out playing guitar together...look it up
Look up how eventually everyone in the experiment blurred the lines between reality and the experiment, leading to genuine misuse of power and the prisoners suffering. It's quite fascinating once you get a full look at it and you'll realize that just because Zimbardo did that doesn't mean nothing useful came from the experiment
Hello, Psychtogo! I really just want to say your videos are so wholesome, and so helpful to me and many more more people! You helped me learn about mental health, and you made tough to talk about topics look normal to talk about. Thank you for your wonderful videos! I hope Psychtogo will be known to more people across youtube, as you guys work so hard to make animations, and of course make mental health more assessable to everyone.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Could you tell us which type of videos were the most helpful for you?
ooh so glad you’re covering this the power that social roles can have on a person is so fascinating and how the brain just fully takes control in these situations. super cool stuff
We aren't evil as true nature of human beings, we have higher consciousness which transcends evilness. It's how we have been raised and treated as we grew up. It's natural if we have been grown on toxic environment we'll become good or evil to protect ourselves. We all have both goodness and evilness it's how we choose to act and our evil actions comes from past hurt and traumas.
... well, I guess you may profit seriously from some intake on evo.psych. eg 'the ape that understood the universe' (s. steward-granger). and later one may talk about non-dualism etc.
Agreed
Brilliant video as always!
Ive heard talk of people having a "Hero Complex" or of people accusing others of having such a complex, i.e. wanting to help out a lot.
Do we think that this video concludes that a Hero Complex is better than no heroic tendancies at all? (i.e. wanting to help a lot would be better than always being a bystander). That picturing yourself as a hero in waiting may help to reduce "evil" tendancies?
I believe that nobody is born evil, we are all born a blank canvas and it’s life experiences that shape our personalities and behaviour.
Agree
John locke
Blank canvas means we aren't born good either. We are born to survive others and ourselves. Good and evil are chosen paths later.
People are never born evil. It comes from their environment they came from and how they respond to it.
Definitely. Evil is a learned trait and not ingrained from birth.
You've never met a sociopath if you think that
@@MasakanSolaris sociopathy doesn't make you evil lmfao? it depends on what the individual does with it. and sociopathy isn't from birth it STILL comes from environmental factors?? maybe learn a little more before spouting stupid shit
Disagreed. Everyone is born with good and evil qualities, but good environment HELPS us to suppress evil qualities.
Look at some of the serial killers though,many of them came from nice,normal families.Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer,to name a couple
I remembered this while being a student at a community college, and boy was it terrifying.
What did you find to be the most terrifying about the Stanford Prison Experiment?
@@Psych2go
The student playing the authorities getting too well into their roles, the physical torture that happened and the psychological suffering the ones playing the prisoners had to endured before the experiment ended.
Although I don't want to disregard the experiment, nor the findings of a learned psychologist, I can't help but notice a big flaw in the experiment: from my personal experience, people that are generally good are more submissive and prone to adapt their behaviour to their bolder peers. At school, there is often just one bully, but many bystanders who say nothing, either because they are scared of becoming a target, or join their side to keep themselves separated from the victim. That means that there's a high chance that if the participants were picked only from the students that were more submissive and less prone to wanting power, the outcome would probably be different. For example, many of my classmates from high school were good people at their core but would be willing to fight, argue or create drama just for the fun of it, while most of the more quiet and reserved students were generally those who would often offer help without being asked for it, genuinely care for others and never willingly hurt people. Although it would be dangerous to repeat the experiment, I believe that if these precautions were followed, the outcome would be different. At the very least, the people would take much longer than the original few days to turn like this. That's why there are psychological evaluations for prison guards.
They actually did psychological evaluations and personality testing before the experiment began and they cut down the total number of subjects to 24 when before it was over 70 I believe
the quote at the end is very inspiring.
This whole experiment is just a case of bad association. We are all influenced by those we associate with. So if someone does bad things, or is rude and mean, and we hang around them a lot, we are likely to ruin our good habits and pickup their bad habits. Its almost inevitable. I remember a bible scripture that says that bad association spoils useful habits. So its important for us to be careful with whom we associate with. This is really what his experiment proved.
Interesting perspective. So do you believe that it is only due to bad association that "good people" become bad? Or do you believe that people are innately evil and are sometimes encouraged by the environment to unleash evil deeds?
@@Psych2go I believe bad association is only one major factor. The encouragement of one's environment is also a factor, but that would fall into association.
I don't believe anyone is innately evil or is born this way, but if we are not careful, or don't know any better, or don't have our own set of principles, we can fall into it. Whether that'd be because of coping with a fear and insecurity in the wrong way, or a loss of hope, or just fostering a thought that we know deep down is bad, we can all be susceptible to bad deeds. I think that being humble enough to know that we are not impervious to it and accepting that we need to take our own steps to avoid getting caught up in bad behavior is a good first step to protecting ourselves.
I have a compassionate nature but traumatic events over time changed me. My “base personality” is still there but how my trauma has effected me is like a shadow or layer over my personality. Sometimes they conflict each other but my trauma based self basically has priority over the other
I haven't watched psych2go in forever and I had no idea they made videos like this! I'm watching this because I have a project on Phillip Zimbardo for my psych class and I hopped down the rabbit hole of the Stanford prison experiment
I get your point but there is another lesson in this experiment and that is
All Humans are equal and if one start to think
He /she is upper or lower than the other he /she will suffer. We all have different rolls to perfome but same value and equal chance to show our talent.
I haven't seen of youe videos since a while your art style changed alot
I absolutely LOVE this message. Hurray for the really brilliant Phillip Zimbardo, for continuing his research! Thank G-d!
Woah I think it's so interesting to talk about how a person is not always good or bad but is in the middle! Humanity is not black or white it's grey
There is a German film called "Das Experiment", which deals with this very subject. Chilling stuff.
Very surprised to hear about "Das Experiment"! I don't think this is a very famous movie but the premise is strikingly similar to that of the Standford Prison Experiment. Did you enjoy the film?
@@Psych2go Well, I enjoyed in insofar as one can enjoy the degree of novelty in a film. But it was quite shocking...
Another channel named Plainly Difficult also covered this experiment as well. I found it to be a bit gruesome but also fascinating how everything ended. Both of these videos tho are very good. I like that this has come to light a bit more. I never even knew about this event until I came across these videos.
Thank you for the comment. What were some of your thoughts when you first learned about the Stanford Prison Experiment?
@@Psych2go it was actually surprising to me, but the results actually made sense in some ways. If someone is forced to be aggressive, against their will or not, bad outcomes tend to be the result of forced behavior. As with the experiment, it also showed how abuse of power is very easily manipulated to be acceptable by a higher power.
I was just genuinely intrigued in the idea of science. By the idea of psychology, though, it’s completely immoral. However, experiments from back then are just as history now. I’m more thankful by the fact that we have a much more acceptably comfortable and more mentally stable/acceptable practices to further improve and learn about psychology.
The entire experiment was very gruesome. I'm not sure how much you know but there are recounts of the prisoners losing the privilege to use the restroom in anything but a bucket, being stripped naked, starved, left without beds, and having to clean out the buckets of human waste with their bare hands. It's quite disturbing especially if you consider the fact that all of the prisoners genuinely forgot that they had the ability to leave at any time they chose
Something I've come to understand is what's called the bystander effect. Sometimes, a situation can be so shocking, that even people with good intention can see something so shocking that they're put into a psychological loop of "Is this actually happening!?" and they stand there and watch the event unfold, frozen in a state of shock. It's important to understand this when keeping good situational awareness along with a readiness and willingness to intervene in a situation and help those in need.
My Dad was in a meeting once, and the man giving a presentation went into a seizure due to the stress of stage-fright! Everyone else sat in there seats doing nothing but gawking, while my Dad and one other coworker of his ran up to hold the man down and not let him hurt himself and called 911. Crazy how a mundane situation can do a complete 180 and become a dangerous situation and catch people off their guard like that.
That's interesting. I think that the bystander effect is pretty real, not because we don't care about something but because what we're seeing right in front of us is quite unbelievable. About the man giving presentation, was he okay after?
@@Psych2go Yes, he turned out alright. He apperently suffers from frequent seizures, but has medication for it. He didn't require any immediate medical attention.
I believe it’s not about picking side between good or evil but love stands in between that heal all sides ❤
... 'love' - really ?! unless you come up with a operable and coherent, thus not cognitive-dissonance inducing definition it seems you just provided a pathetically ridiculous meme. or maybe, I'm missing the true cynicism here ?!
@@VaronPlateando In this video, she did mentioned that “Good and evil lives within every one of us.” which i believe we all experience our own traumas and without getting to know how to heal from it, that’s our shadow side. Do you actually believe that a healthy inner child do not pick side, is neither good or evil? I have my own set of thinking, you have yours so being respectful is well needed. Words could make as well as break somebody so be mindful. Thanks for sharing your thought.
I guess it is hard to be a kid when we’re an adult but i’ve always tried my best to not lose sight of my inner child, to keep he or/and she(No Gender Specific in my opinion) in check, maybe you can try it too, listen to no one but be your own greatest guidance. Sending love & positive vibes your way, that’s my whole point 🤍❤️

@@jackinthebox9730 I could be wrong bit wasn't that found out many years later? There experiment was already cruel but they were uncertain if it could be undone.
It is quite funny to me how much of this shaped my entire life. When I was a kid I wasn’t into superheroes or anything like that , and I always found it odd how many of my friends wanted to be heroes. “A hero is nothing without a good villain” was the way I saw it, and I ended up willingly playing the villain in a lot of scenarios in my life. The strange thing is that I was saved by both the concept of the antihero(which definitely helped because I struggled with both autism and depression, which made the antihero a far more relatable place to start), and the simple thinking that “doing the right things without reason can help you FIND reason”. I just started acting the way I figured an antihero would. Then I reached a point where I began to dig myself out. And like any character that gets a redemption arc, I just followed the path I saw.
Thank you for sharing your personal experience with us. What action, in your opinion, would be considered "antiheroic" as opposed to villainous? How did these antiheroic actions help you get a "redemption arc"? Could you tell us a bit more?
@@Psych2go I think I should start by borrowing words that are a more eloquent description. “Mercy to a perpetrator must not come at the expense of their victims” , “can I really improve and be something worth saving” , “if you struggle to do good without reason, start by doing good to find that reason” . The phrasing is better, but the meaning is the same as what got me through a difficult part of life. I have both high functioning autism, and major depressive disorder. Due to the nature of these I was often viewed as pessimistic, rude, and things like that., and I would often only act to help people when it would benefit me, because “it is illogical to do things you don’t want to do for no reason”. I lived this way all through school. It wasn’t like I would stay out of things out of malice, but I would sit by and watch when I couldn’t see any benefit to helping. Because of how I saw the “heroes” and the “villains” I figured I must be wrong, must be evil. The reality was that I never really did many things to help others that didn’t benefit me (or that I wasn’t made to do). I hadn’t had any experience with it, no real emotional connection. The term antihero broke me out of the prison my mind was in , telling me I must be evil and got me to a point of actually working to become someone I can say would be worth saving, and being worth saving became my “benefit”.. I found myself feeling more. More connections , desire to help friends. I reached a point where I felt good.
I feel like I am all over the place here , but I hope it has come through clearly.
We kinda went through the same thing. Growing up I'm mostly exposed to superheroes. Whether it be movies, cartoons, games etc. But I'm not really the type of person to be interested in the concept of heroism, in fact i find myself more intrigued by villains supervillains alike, even to the point that i kind of sympathize with serial killers than i see them as monsters like people do. Or so i thought.
As I continued to grow up, i met so many amazing people. Teachers, RUclipsrs, entertainers, V-tubers. By the time the pandemic started, i saw them as heroes. People who would risk their time and lives to bring a smile to people. I started idolizing them, and wanting to be like them.
When i found this anime titled "My Hero Academia" is when i discovered my true fascination with superheroism. It made me realize a lot of things about myself, not just where my passion lies, but also who and what i want to be. Even if let's say my favorite character from the show is a villain, it was very inspiring to me at least, and all of them converges to one thing, which heroism.
Your quote was "A hero is nothing without a good villain" right? That sentence holds some truth to it, but people like to take things out of context. Heroes exist. They are normal people who do extraordinary things. They save people, with a smile. Reassuring them that everything will be okay, because they are here. They don't exist to have an epic fight with the villains and win, villains only exist as a catalyst for a hero to be born. After all, what is there to save, when there's no evil to vanquish?
To quote from the show itself, "One For All is created to kill All For One, but you all helped cultivate this power. Today, it's become something greater. A power meant to save."
The nature of evil is the lack of emotional empathy, which is by definition equals PSYCHOPATHY. Very simple EVIL = PSYCHOPATHY
... that's just words all over.
That's not always true.
This is very well explained and understandable even for simple minds as my own.
I wonder if there has ever been research of _heroic addiction_ (for lack of a better) reverse effect. There seems to be situations where repressed personalities stand up to a bully and then _become_ the bully. It cascades into a vendetta that burglarizes their justice sensibilities..... It's surely how at least _some_ of the bullies are created.
Interesting perspective. It can be theorized that we can't categorize people into bullies and victims but rather that all of us have the capability to become bullies at the end.
@Psych2Go I suppose that's a _much_ better explanation. And I'm certain I myself have bullied, at least passively, without realizing it.
If you find it that interesting the original observations Zimbardo made on the experiment are simple to understand as well. The language is easy to understand since it's just a transcript of what he said and it even cursed a couple times. Really interesting read and you can understand some of the more graphic and disturbing details with that as well
@yeetusdeletus4304 thanks, I'll see if I can find that, sounds interesting..

Heck a 14 year old black boy was absolutely tortured just because a white woman lied about him whistling to her in a store and I think you know who this is to
I would push back a bit, it's common to have people who can tick all of the boxes and still choose to be good or evil. For example, my parents and my friends parents, both equally have the same amount of power over us but mine acted in their own self interests whilst other parents haven't.
When they get called out for their problems, there are some who choose to atone and some who don't, despite having the same amount of power as those that do, to those that don't.
Someone told me once that I needed to be more evil or I’d be broken by people. But that’s not the way I am, in some way I was raised to be a hero?
I have been a hero since I was 10 +or-. I have had people bully me. When I talk to a bully; most of the time they apologize

Do you have depression as well?

I have ADHD and also suffer from depression, so yes. A lot of people with ADHD struggle with emotional regulation and suffer from what is called Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria which can make your emotions feel so much more intense. It is worth looking into and if you think you might have ADHD or depression please speak to your doctor about it. Personally I was recently diagnosed ADHD at the age of 30. I regret not seeking help sooner, now that I know what is going on I have started treatment and am getting better. Hope you are well.
Well i was wondering when ya'll would do this episode
random question: what would you think would happen if people were to limit emotions say with a manmade part. or if humans just completely forgo emotions. what would be some effects on what would happen? how would progress be effected?
Well, I can’t say for sure. I’m not some college professor just a student in an ap psych class but this question was very interesting, this is what I think about it.
Firstly, emotions play a crucial role in decision-making and problem-solving. Without emotions, humans would have difficulty making choices or even determining what is essential to them. Emotions also play a critical role in empathy and social connection. By limiting emotions, people would definitely struggle to connect with others on an emotional level, leading to social isolation and probably loneliness.
Secondly, emotions are what drive motivation and passion, which are essential for innovation and progress. For example, scientific breakthroughs and creative works often come from individuals who are passionate about their work and motivated by a desire to solve problems or express themselves. Limiting emotions would likely result in a reduction in creativity and innovation.
Finally, they also serve as a signal for physical and psychological well-being. Without emotions, people may have difficulty recognizing and addressing their own needs, leading to a decline in overall health and well-being.
In summary, limiting or foregoing emotions would have significant and far-reaching consequences for individuals and society, including difficulty with decision-making, social isolation, reduced creativity and innovation, and a decline in overall health and well-being.
Like I said this was based off little research and just going off my notes. to make educated guesses but this is a really cool question and something worth looking into more.
There would definitely be more widespread effects like societal division and reduced social cohesion I just went more into the more obvious and probably more simple effects it would have
@@choco7150 I always ask myself this question whenever I get hurt by people I care about. Just thinking that it would technically prevent me from ever getting hurt like this again. But I always know that it would be a direct insult to myself, as I could never allow myself to be heartless or to not treat everyone with compassion. Even if I'm hurt, I never let it get to people I interact with.
Yet still, being absolutely emotionless is a big weakness in my opinion. I don't think anyone would like that.
Evil is the use of power in a way that will benefit you by exploiting others......... It's often a reality that powerful people choose to prioritise their own needs..... This is why they choose power over humanity.....
I love the animation of the outro dance
Some ppl may say I'm evil but my goal is greater good
Hey i was wondering have you ever make a video about Pseudobulbar affect? 🤔
Just in time for the AP Psychology exam I see....
my buddy will did this once
We learned about this in both my high school and college psychology class. Absolutely insane. I feel like if it had taken place in modern day he would’ve been arrested
It would never take place now, as you will never get ethics approval for such an experiment
Yes. Noawadays, an experiement like this would be considered unethical. When you learned about this in highs school and college, what were some things that you discussed?
I would always say to myself that alot guards are no different than the people who are in custody. Coming to work to let off some steam is ideal for most guards 🤷🏽♂️
These people are trying to help us. They want to help us have a better life, a more healthy and happy life. A way to fight back against the things thay hurt us, not an excuse for a victim party. Yes, things hurt and other people are out of our control byt your thoughts and reactions are not. Apply this everywhere, oick the RIGHT thing, the GOOD thing. Like the lady said, it isnt easy, but it gets easier and something i can add myself, its SO WORTH it when you do! So go be a more heroic you!
The guards were also showed the guards the film cool hand luke and gave them uniforms to match. That encouraged them to confirm to the role of evil guard.
One thing i know that can change a person into evil or become a whole different person is "power" if you hold more power you become more confident, be the ones who hunt. If you hold less power you become a prey. Thats just most of it in the sociaity. So some become bads, some become goods and some become nobody just to avoid all of this. Everybody does something for a reason. I couldnt hate anyone cuz of that fact
this is perfect timing. i have my ap psych exam on tuesday and i’m not very familiar with this.
Glad our video could help! And good luck on your AP psych exam!
@@Psych2go thanks!
I love how fictional characters and related stuffs show up in your videos like this
Good is simply the use of power to help those seen as "beneath" a person in status. Evil is merely the use of power to hurt those seen as "beneath" to benefit the one in power. Good fosters humility, kindness, persuasion, and justice. Evil fosters selfishness, greed, coercion, and tyranny. It's why we seen corporations as inherently evil and charities as inherently good, and there's more truth in that assumption than we usually like to admit. Evil is very much a product of modern systems built on stupid, failed ideas and outdated power structures that have really never worked well. Sadly, people don't want to put the money and work in to redesign these systems well, so the problems continue to get worse.
Phycosis problem can you help
Explain how to treat it please ?
I always in solitude and often loss in my negative thoughts..
I can't tell what real and what not.
I have known about this for oh probably 20 years, I was around 10 when my mom taught me about this.
This is off topic but I like your voice
Thanks for the dew design and the subtitles! Greatly appreciated!
Do you prefer the subtitles embedded directly in the video? Or do you prefer being able to turn them on and off?
Still these early psychology studies are scary
Problem with Standford prison experiment is not only that it was unethical, BUT also it was poorly done. Zimbardo actively encouraged guards to do “bad” things. This is why Standford prison experiment is not taken seriously in scientific community. It just didn’t bring any useful data.
I feel like the real issue with it is that people only look at it for what the experiment was initially intended for. The results may not tell us what the experiment was created to tell us but it still shows how malleable the human mind is and honestly how easily it can be brain washed. Every participant at some point throughout the experiment blurred the lines between reality and the experiment, even Zimbardo himself struggled briefly at one point in time. The prisoners all together forgot the had the choice to leave whenever they wanted and requested parole and developed different ways of coping when that parole was denied. When they requested it each prisoner was asked if they would give up all of the money they'd earned through the experiment to get parole and over half said yes. They could've left at any point in time but they were so used to being stuck in their environment that they forgot it was an option
Keep in mind all of this occured in less than a week which really says a lot about our minds and I feel like people refuse to look at it that way because Zimbardo himself didn't
@@yeetusdeletus4304 You miss my entire point. The experiment was poorly done and has very low (if any) scientific value.
@@njan5107 I think you miss my point. There could easily be scientific value in other things from the experiment just not necessarily in good and evil. The subjects were essentially brainwashed into believing they were truly in prison and couldn't leave. That's something that warrants more research and if looked into in regards to this experiment could show a lot of interesting information
This experiment didn’t explain: Fear of being seen as outcasts is linked to Herd and Tribal instincts, and drives our subliminal priorities for unconscious yearning for safety. Also, Dr Philip Zimbardo didn’t know to focus on the subject of sensory shutdown correlated with cognitive and moral blind spots, and he did know of the counterpoint of Emotional/Sensory Reawakening, based on engaging with music and the arts, and the existential significance of that during current COUNTDOWN2045.
Surprisingly, 300 years ago J.S.Bach was aware of his music to have the effect of antidote to sensory deactivation pressure. That is the reason why he defied dogmas for zombified music. But his strive was not followed and his music became the victim of the tradition, contrary to his lifelong battle with inner force of Herd instinct. Most of his music had been performed in mechanical way. That is why, his miniature masterpiece with the meaning of musical Parody remained obscured and unnoticed.
But when it was played with no emotional withholding, it revealed what should be hard to miss - many dissonant sonorities that were banned from use by rules of his time, and yet he emboldened their sonic clashing impact with rhythmic emphasis and used them many times and in such way that reveals his approach of neuroscientist to his music almost three centuries prior to birth of this field…
#BachSensoryDeactivationEffect
To the great surprise of many prominent scientists, 300 years ago JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH, genius music educator with neuroscientist’s mindset, found unexpected incredible solution for the blind spots of the human mind that turn seemingly normal people into proponents of evil.
That is the subject of the incredibly important for humanity Stanford Prison Experiment that Bach’s music calls to revise, by considering different settings for testing people for discovered hopeless incivilities, appearing to be “innate” for human nature, lurking in the realms of the dark corners of unconscious mind…
MUSIC INSTINCT is the powerful force in our mind, ur since Academia in both science and Arts are live under common for our society compartmentalization, a lot of problems on the intersection of both had been “obscured” by the blind spot of both the public and … well, those, who are at the helm of our society’s intellectual elite - in the power positions in Sciences and the Arts.
That’s the reason why information critical to know for both remains without dissemination.
And also, there are many other obstacles to logical functioning of individuals and institutions run by them. But the blind spots caused by social influences of groupthink and authority pressure interfere in major way.
That is why, MUSIC INSTINCT had been left it of the picture by many important researchers of brain and mind.
Perception of many subjects in this field and therefore in many other parts of reality are about to begin changing thanks to citizen’s stand for insisting on high ethics in music - the vibrational Art that is based on the vibrational essence of our universe, at the subatomic particles level
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
Depending on where your from you can be deemed good or evil upon the culture and background of the place. If you were to take someone who is evil in one place and put them in another they would be a hero.
Can you talk about extroverts for one vid please, I need help
I read it as Stanford pines experiment.
These results do not apply to everyone. What is important is to see how they are subtly incorporated into military and paramilitary recruitment to select the most willing to comply without question to authority.
This made me thinkg of the series called the good place
Guys what are some ways to cure depression because i have itand i feel miserable
This is why villains have backstory
People are evil in nature. Greed is the root of all evil, desire comes in second. Greed is engraved to us, it is our desire to be the best that turns us into one. The people who seems to overcome greed are false people, you just have to give or starve them power to unmasked their facade. People give because they have something to give, remember that.
Hi, Psy2Go. Please, answer. Did Psych Point steal your videos?
The experiment itself is kinda if-y, as in this should not be done today or not ever in the first place even though it showed some interesting results. I have heard of this experiment but does it go into detail about the type of person who would refuse to follow orders?
Some researchers question if perhaps the whole thing is fictional.
It's a case to case thing.
Just covered this is psychology a levels
Hi
We all went through this in 2020/21.
And our prisons have learned nothing from it.
Yaaass
So you wanna see evil tonight at it's best, we're the cruelest of people sit down and relax 💅💫
how would i be a hero whe ni cant even get out of bed at the morning and cant even care ab myself how woudl icare ab others
I know it's not the intent of the videos but if you understand what is going on with bullies and why they do what they do. Your knowledge can become a weapon. Taking them down with mere words, striking at their very core. If they get even more hostile. That's just them not willing to admit that maybe there is something wrong with what their doing. Physical violence heals (unless killed which proves even further that said bully has a conflict that they are not willing to resolve). A mental wound can only heal if it's being accepted and being treated.
Or I could be talking out of my behind to which no one needs heed what I just wrote.
Only weak people would start acting like that.
Evil behavior is the expression of weakness.
Bad people lesuire on the suffering of others.
There are a few people who created this video, but only one of them knows its sending venerable people down the path of suffering.
That person will quietly lesuire in that suffering

I like this 😎
Despite inspiring other research, the standfort prison experiment was debunked. It has been proven that zimbardo influenced the behavior of the participants to get the desired result. His ads seeking participants were written in such a way that they were more likely to attract aggressive individuals. Many of the torturous things done to the prisoners were introduced to the guards by himself, and many other things made the experiment unreliable. The experiment was also performed again without the influence of zimbardo and in this second experiment the guards and prisoners both behaved very humanely and nothing really interesting happened. Unfortunately, the standfort prison experiment is much more well known than the fact that the findings were unreliable and unscientific.
How about abu gharib prison?
The Stanford experiment isn't useful for the ideas of good and evil but it can be applied to other things. Zimbardo said himself in his observations that the prisoners and guards blurred reality and the experiment so much that the prisoners forgot they had the ability to leave. No matter if he influenced the experiment or not that is insane that the prisoners were requesting parole and had to find genuine ways to cope with it being rejected. I read the transcript of Zimbardos original observations of the experiment today and he said that when one of the prisoners was feeling ill and asked to see a doctor so Zimbardo spoke to him privately and told him to leave the experiment. During this the guards pulled the prisoners from their cells for a count and had them chant the sick prisoners number. The sick prisoner was able to hear this and told Zimbardo he didn't want to go to the doctor and needed to go back so he wants a "bad" prisoner and Zimbardo told the prisoner that he was part of an experiment and introduced himself as Doctor Zimbardo. Zimbardo said he told the prisoner that both to convince the prisoner and himself that it was true.
@@yeetusdeletus4304 It's true that there is some stuff to learn, but you have to be careful with what you take from it
A lot, and I mean A LOT of the behavior was influenced by both factors outside the experiment and Zimbardo himself
It's hard to figure out what is and isn't true, especially the stuff coming directly from Zimbardo
That doesn't necessarily mean that the example you gave is wrong, but because everything was messed with, it's worth it to take it all with a big grain of salt
@@hoodie3388 it truly doesn't make sense how Zimbardos influence on causing a rift between both parties could transfer over to the subjects losing a sense of what is real and what isn't. There's also the fact that the prisoners wanted parole and requested it. There's so much untapped potential with that aspect of the outcome that I feel like no one has looked into further
@@yeetusdeletus4304
I'm not saying that didn't happen, but I am saying that I don't trust Zimbardo's documentation of what happened
Obviously what happened to those prisoners was real, but we can't trust Zimbardo on the details
I think the reason people haven't looked into it further is because it would be highly unethical to put test subjects through that
At one point they did try to recreate it, but because there was no influence on the guards, the guards didn't become cruel, making the results completely different
