1. 1. Describe the experimental design of Zimbardo’s study. Include the hypothesis, IV, DV, Control. Experimental groups, as well as the type of study and methods of research (pages 35-41). At which point did the structure of this experiment break down?
2. 2. According to the text (page 40-41), ethical standards are to be followed throughout all psychological studies.

Use specific examples from the study as well as ethical standards from the text.
3. 3. If you HAD to carry out this experiment to try and achieve the same dependant variable, which you mentioned above, how would you have designed this study? What components of Zimbardo’s study would you have kept? Removed? Why?
