0:00.0 | Hey, dessert listeners. Just me today. I want to talk about the Stanford prison experiment |
0:13.0 | and Philip Zimbardo, the lead psychologist on that experiment. That's what I'm going |
0:18.8 | to talk about today. I've done a deep dive on it. The listeners will tell me that they |
0:24.4 | want me to do deep dives. And so as a person who is always trying to please everyone around |
0:30.6 | me, I'm going to do that today with this episode. Oh man, that sounds pathetic. Okay, so this |
0:39.2 | is the psychology and Seattle podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Kirk Honda. I am a professor |
0:44.8 | and a therapist. Let's talk a little bit about Philip Zimbardo himself, his history. He |

0:58.0 | At the age of five, he almost died from whooping cough and was sequestered from the rest of his |

1:30.6 | a traumatic experience for him. I mean, six months in your own little whooping cough prison. |
1:36.8 | It must have been terrible for him. As a child, he was beaten up because they thought he was |
1:42.8 | Jewish. In New York, apparently, they beat up Jewish people. And so they beat him up because they |
1:50.0 | thought he was Jewish. He didn't like psychology at first when he was in college because in |
1:55.4 | Psych 101, he didn't like the class. It was taught very badly. And I can say I can really relate |
2:01.7 | to this because when I was in college, I had the exact same experience. I took Psych 101 because |
2:06.9 | it was a class you were supposed to take to meet some human humanities requirement or something. |
2:13.8 | And I hated the class. I thought it was really boring. In fact, I did a little experiment. I |
2:21.0 | remember it was my second. So my first quarter at UW at the university, I took classes that |
