Stanford psychologist behind the controversial “Stanford Prison Experiment” dies at 91 – AP

Philip Zimbardo, psychologist who led Stanford prison experiment, dies at 91 – WaPost

“Dr. Zimbardo drew on his prison experiment and the events at Abu Ghraib in his 2007 book, ‘The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil.’

“‘Although you probably think of yourself as having a consistent personality across time and space, that is likely not to be true,’ he wrote. ‘You are not the same person working alone as you are in a group; in a romantic setting versus an educational one; when you are with close friends or in an anonymous crowd.'”
