Was it ethical?

No, but it was pretty cool, and you only need one out of the two.

It was unethical, especially considering that Zimbardo was prepared to lie in order to continue the experiment,
but I really do not like the Stanford experiment more because it overextended the power of
Ethics Review Boards so even the most simple studies have become tedious to arrange.

Also, daily reminder that the Asch experiments are possibly the most elegant experiments to grace the field of Psychology.

Same thing is currently happening at /pol/

Not really ethical, but it proved a lot of creepy shit about human beings.

It really proves that "normal" people are just a short fuse away from being barbarians, given the right circumstances.

Why does it always feel like they pick retarded people on purpose for these kinds of experiments?

They tried picking the most neutral people they could find, regarding emotions, intelligence, socio-economic status, etc. Most of them weren't even Stanford students.
