The Stanford Prison Experiment and Ethical Institutionalism
An examination of the Zimbardo study through the lens of institutionalized deception and identity-defense mechanisms.
The study functions as a paradigm for observing how authority figures inherit and enforce systemic lies to preserve a manufactured identity. By applying the Powell-Rad Path™ to the researchers' methodology, we identify the 'Name the Lie' electrodes used to validate the simulation as reality.
