Today we looked at aggression within institutions, particularly prisons (the picture above shows a prison riot in action). We divided the factors that cause institution in prisons into situational and dispositional factors, and evaluated these in turn. We looked at evidence from Zimbardo (1973) briefly - your homework is to rewrite your notes on this study from last year. We also looked at Abu Ghraib and the fallout from that - Zimbardo himself had some interesting points to make.
Today's powerpoints are here and here.
Don't forget the AS mock is on Friday (P3 and P4) and the A2 mock is next Wednesday (P1 & P2).
