Understanding psychology: the BBC prison study
In this DVD, Alex Haslam and Steve Reicher give a comprehensive account of their reworking of Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison study, conducted over 30 years earlier. The DVD includes loads of footage of the actual study and there are some interesting extras dealing with social identity theory, ethics, data sources and comparisons with Zimbardo’s study. A useful addition to any psychology teacher’s resource cupboard, but an absolute must for those teaching the OCR specification. The running time is 25 minutes.
