Professor Alex Haslam talks about the modern day take on Dr Zimbardo's 1971 social psychological study which he set up and filmed for the BBC.

The Experiment

We live in a complex, fast changing and highly social world.  One of the most compelling questions we face is how to understand ourselves and other people.  The video tracks on this album introduce the four main theoretical perspectives in social psychology - cognitive, psychoanalytical, discursive and phenomenological. The album also explores interrogative themes that help in the understanding of key topics in social psychology.  This material forms part of The Open University course DD307 Social psychology: critical perspectives on self and others.
