Page "Stanford prison experiment" Paragraph 29

Alex Haslam and Steve Reicher, psychologists from the University of Exeter and University of St Andrews, conducted the BBC Prison Study in 2002.

This was a partial replication of the Stanford Prison Experiment conducted with the assistance of the BBC, which broadcast events in the study in a documentary series called The Experiment.

Their results and conclusions differed from Zimbardo's and led to a number of publications on tyranny, stress and leadership.

Moreover, unlike results from the Stanford Prison Experiment, these were published in leading academic journals such as British Journal of Social Psychology, Journal of Applied Psychology, Social Psychology Quarterly and " Personality and Social Psychology Review ".

The BBC Prison Study is now taught as a core study on the UK A-level Psychology OCR syllabus.
