Why I chose these four Experiments

Rank 1
Zimbardo: The Stanford prison Experiment I thought was the most important Social Psychology experiment revealing important understandings about prejudice, stereotyping and aggression. Not only did it high light disturbing new information about the dynamics of humans in alien environments and the potential for aggression and conforming to stereotype behaviours, it also demonstrated the importance for ethical control of psychological studies. The researcher himself became involved in the stereotypical role of the prison superintendant and proceeded to practice his rolenot as a researcher but as what stereotypically is his role as a prison superintendant.

Rank 2
Milgram: The Milgram experiment was fantastic in demonstrating normal peoples capability of doing atrocious acts of aggression toward other people. Even if the participants weren't physically aggressive or angry toward the receivant of the so called electric shock, the experiment showed that actions can be performed by normal people causing aggressive injuries. This was a classic experiment

Rank 3
Asch: Asch's conformity experiment demonstrated the ability that groups have over individuals. I thought that this was an important experiment due to its' demonstration of the potential of people to suggest completely obviously wrong comments about subjects. I felt that this was an important experiment because it could be directly related to many of the atrocities which have occured throughout the world, influenced by the majorities prejudices, misconceptions through stereotyping and leading to aggressive behaviours.

Rank 4
Princeton Trilogy: I thought that these series of studieswere very relevant to todays society in demonstrating the increase in relationships between various cultures. I myself am involved in an interracial relationship and feel extremely comfortable about it and not so different at all. I am marrying my fiance next year, I myself am from rural Australia and My fiance is from the Philippines. My family is very conservative brittish and hers is very catholic Filipino. Our families get along very well and spend a considerable amount of time together including going on holidays over seas together.
