Really enjoyed the post. The only time these experiments might be ok is if the participants know in advance what they are getting themselves into and it doesn’t seem like they did.
There’s a shortage of good psychology posts on steemit so keep it up. I want to post on the psychodynamic psychology vs cognitive behavioral therapy. I find that to be super interesting and if you have anything on that lmk.

Thank you, @ypcrypto1993, I'm glad you enjoyed the article!
I think that, in the Stanford Prison Experiment, participants know what they are getting into; nonetheless, the experiment should have been stopped sooner. The participants of the Milgram Experiment were not informed about the real purpose of the study - they thought it's about memory. Needless to say, Little Albert was way too young to know anything.
Good luck with your psychodynamic psychology vs cognitive behavioral therapy article! : )
