What were the negative effects experienced by participants in the Zimbardo prison experiment?
The American educational network PBS did an excellent series in 2001 called "Discovering Psychology," and in episodes 19-20, it addressed such things as the psychological effect the situation can have upon how human beings act. In one segment, it discussed the 1971 Prison experiment, with Dr. Zimbardo (host of the series) looking back on it. It also showed a follow up, where students (both the "guards" and the "prisoners") met after a few months and talked about their feelings regarding the experiment. It is clear from that segment that the participants were still upset. The "prisoners" were shocked that classmates they thought they knew were willing to treat them so brutally, and the "guards" were still embarrassed that they had gotten so caught up in the role that they acted in such an inhumane manner. Even Dr. Zimbardo noted that he too had become caught up in his role of the "warden," and his reaction surprised him. Although he was a trained psychologist, he admitted he had lost perspective and found himself thinking like a prison warden. That was one reason he called off the experiment-- the realization that it does not take much (in this case, some isolation, uniforms, and arbitrary hierarchies of power) to make otherwise decent people behave in unethical or cruel ways.

What was the Stanford prison expirament?
The Stanford Prison Experiment is one of the most famous experiments in psychology's history, conducted in 1971 by a team of researchers led by Stanford University psychology professor Philip Zimbardo. The experiment was a study of the psychological effects of becoming either a prisoner or prison guard. Randomly assigned roles of prisoners and guards were assigned to student volunteers in a mock prison situation. The participants adapted to their roles well beyond Zimbardo's expectations, as the guards enforced authoritarian measures and ultimately subjected some of the prisoners to psychological torture, while many of the prisoners passively accepted the abuse and, at the request of the guards, even harassed other prisoners. The experiment affected Zimbardo himself, who, in his role as the superintendent, permitted the abuse to continue. Two of the prisoners quit the experiment early and the entire experiment was abruptly stopped after only six days. The results of the experiment have been presented to illustrate the impressionability and obedience of people when placed within a situation of presumed institutional authority and socially legitimized stereotypes.
