the stanford prison experiment is soon interesting! i can't believe they even allowed it to go on at all - especially after seeing the effect it had on the participants!
i know this isn't totally in the same category, but one of the things i think of is the work of illusionist Derren Brown who does these incredible thought experiments on people - some of which have insane effects!
if you haven't heard of his before, i think you'll find his experiments (not sure if thats the right word haha) really interesting!
heres a preview of one of my favorites, but if you have 45 minutes, watch the full one for sure! you can also find on youtube :)
Hi @itinerantartist,
The trailer of Derren Brown's show/experiment looks quite interesting!
That said, it's hard to be sure if it's genuine or acted.
Thank you for sharing! : )
if you watch the whole episode youll see theyre not acting. this was the result of subliminal messaging over the course of weeks! although i have watched some of his where i think some people are influenced by knowing who he is and expecting the change to happen, therefore acting it out.
Thanks for the info, I'll check the whole episode out once I get some free time! : )
Here's a relatively similar social experiment that you may like:
this is nuts!!!!!! its mind blowing how easily influenced our minds and habits truly are. literally jaw dropping. although not in the exact same light, it reminds me of this one about the bystander effect:
this one you shared is just nuts tho. thanks for enlightening me - mind blown today @.@
Wow! Thank you for sharing, I am actually planning to publish a full article about the bystander effect, and this video is a perfect fit for that topic! 😊
no way! haha - guess we were on the same wavelength :) glad i could help!
