♦️Pick of the Week♦️ is RANGER GAMES by @benzblum, a staff fave now out in paperbackfrom @VintageAnchor. @hansweyandt calls this rich blend of memoir, research, and true crime “fascinating.” #mwbpicks instagram.com/p/BmZA_DoljXQ/…
The paperback of Ranger Games is out, with a gorgeous new design from @VintageAnchor!
What an honor to be read by @JoyceCarolOates, whose brilliant short story "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" I have always preferred to the SPE as a primer on conformity and obedience. xitter.cf/JoyceCarolOates/status…
Stanford Prison Experiment may have been non-scientific & "worthless" as science but does prove that a research psychologist (here, Zimbardo) can get away w/ astonishingly unprofessional/ felonious (?)behavior if it is labeled "scientific experiment" & has imprimatur of Stanford. xitter.cf/JoyceCarolOates/status…

Psychologists: please read this.
We must stop celebrating this work. It’s anti-scientific. Get it out of textbooks.

Great piece by @B_resnick putting my expose on the Stanford Prison Experiment in context with other problematic psych studies xitter.cf/b_resnick/status/10069…
Some thoughts on recent psychology study upheavals vox.com/2018/6/13/17449118/s…
Mostly this:
"In science, the first demonstration of an idea often becomes the lasting one — both in pop culture and academia. But this isn’t how science is supposed to work at all! "

Another great addition to @Medium's #trustissues collection. I routinely teach Zimbardo's "The Lucifer Effect" in my Phil Peace class. Now, I'll add @benzblum's essay to provide well-reseached & well-articulated skepticism. xitter.cf/siobhannyc/status/1004…

The most famous psychology study of all time was a sham. @BenZBlum asks: Why can’t we escape the Stanford Prison Experiment? medium.com/s/trustissues/the…
"...that would seem to get very close to being out of the realm of informed consent and into the realm of a violation of the penal code." Was the official story of the famous Stanford Prison Experiment a lie? I wrote about it for @Medium medium.com/s/trustissues/the…
