Conformity to Social Roles

Different social situations have different norms which give rise to the social roles we play

Zimbardo's (Haney et al) Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE)

Aim:

Find out how much people conform to the social roles of guards and prisoners in a fake prison situation

Procedure:

Standford University basement turned into fake prison for SPE

21 mentally stable male students selected from 75 volunteers

Randomly assigned to groups of 10 guards and 11 prisoners

Prisoners arrested by real police from their homes and subjected to booking process (unaware this was going to happen)

Given smocks and numbers and placed in cells in groups of 3

Guards worked 8 hr shifts and wore khaki uniforms, mirrored sunglasses and carried handcuffs and wooden batons

Study was meant to last 2 weeks

Findings:

Guards increasingly sadistic - forced prisoners to repeat numbers, made to go to toilet in buckets

Prisoners increasingly submissive - stopped questioning guards, sided with guards against rebellious prisoners

After 35 hrs 1 prisoner began to act crazy, scream, curse, go into a rage and seemed out of control and was released

3 others were released for similar reasons

Guards so harmful the experiment only lasted 6 days

Conclusions:

Prisoners and guards said they were shocked by their out-of-character behaviour

All participants conformed to roles to the same extent

Some guards didn't sadistically exert control

Support situational but does not rule out dispositional

Evaluations:

Ethical Issues - protection from harm/consent issues

Ecological validity - Knew they were part of a study - may have altered behaviour - post study interview many said they were acting

Zimbardo acted as prison guard - too involved

Its the way I put my heart and soul into my A-Levels as a straight A and A* student and came out with ABCC, when I've never even seen a C result on an exam I've done in my life. This is ridiculous.

Hello, I'm Li, and welcome to my study blog.

i am a first year A level student!

I study Biology, Psychology, and sociology. I originally did Philosophy instead of biology for about a month in a different school, but then I moved back to my secondary school to do biology.

This blog is dedicated to keeping track of my productivity and to give me study motivation!

hey! i saw in your intro post that you study psychology and i’d love to know how you’re finding it! i’m autistic and i take great interest in it but i’m still not sure if it’s something i want to pursue. thank you 💞

Hi!! So just starting off, I study aqa a level psychology just in case that’s also what you might study! Then I’m studying it at uni starting September :)

But anyway, it’s my absolute favourite thing I’ve ever studied. I love everything about it honestly. A lot of the theories are very culturally and gender biased though, p much all by old, or dead, straight white men. It also makes me overthink a lot of things, but I don’t really mind? My favourite aspect of psychology is biological approaches to theories because learning about the neurochemistry and the Why of things interestes me so much.

Psychology is such a diverse subject in terms of content and can be super content heavy, but that’s one of the things I really like about it.

I also love being able to apply what learn to everything. I’m autistic too and my special interests are psychology and theatre, so I end up revising psychology by applying it to different characters from musicals and god it’s so fun

Lmk if you have anymore questions!!!

how the fuck do you sit down and revise i’m going insane

Explanations of Conformity

Deutsch and Gerard - 2 motivating forces as to why people conform:

Normative social influence (NSI) - People want to fit in and avoid social rejection so conform to the beliefs and opinions

Informational social influence (ISI) - People want to be correct so they look to the person they believe has the right information and agree with them

The most dangerous thing you can do while revising aqa psychology is saying "I'm right it's just worded differently"
