Besides the experiments of Mengele during the Holocaust, the one that comes to mind are the 1963 "obedience to authority" experiments. Stanley Milgram wanted to know how many everyday good people would obey an authority figure when directly order to harm another human being. Shock treatments was the method.
Wilhelm Wundt is credited with conducting the first psychological experiment in 1879. He is considered the founder of experimental psychology and established the first psychology laboratory in Leipzig, Germany.
The potential disadvantages with the experimental method are that the lab setting may inhibit natural behavior; findings may not generalize to real world (low ecological validity); and the potential for unethical or impossible experiment. Other potential problems include - · selection bias · placebo effect · experimenter bias
It is because you start analyzing yourself and others because you are studying Psychology.
I would say it was Eliezer, the servant of Abraham, when he wanted to test if Rivka would be a good wife for Yitzhak. He said: If I tell her: "give me some water", and she will reply: "I will give water to your camels too", then she is the right wife. That was the first psychological test.
Wundt's experiment, known as the "reaction time experiment," involved measuring how long it took individuals to respond to stimuli. This research laid the foundation for modern psychology by demonstrating the importance of measuring and quantifying mental processes. Today, this approach to studying cognitive phenomena influences fields such as cognitive psychology and human-computer interaction, impacting how we understand human behavior and decision-making.
Unethical. Period.
It's not. You are learning about the bias of the mind; in what way could this be unethical?
in psychology terms what is a naturalistic experiment and a longitudinal study?

it would be were it not for the fact that it is unethical to use it (not that that gets in many people's way).

This is highly unethical - humans have the right to know what is being done to them. However, there are some arguments for this being ethically acceptable, mostly based upon the volunteer status of the military in the United States.
