The Lucifer Effect
Why do good people engage in evil actions?
How do ordinary people sometimes turn evil and commit unspeakable acts?
The book The Lucifer Effect tells, for the first time, the full story behind the Stanford Prison Experiment, a now-classic study I conducted in 1971. In that study, normal college students were randomly assigned to play the role of guard or inmate for two weeks in a simulated prison, yet the guards quickly became so brutal that the experiment had to be shut down after only six days.
