Interesting!
However, I’d like to point out a few things:
The Stanford Prison “Experiment” was not a true experiment. It had innumerable design flaws and this is reflected in the fact that it was never actually published in a peer-reviewed journal. The study has since been replicated with actual design controls and the “Lucifer Effect” has not been found.
Additionally, Slide #8 seems to imply that The Lucifer Effect is similar / linked to The Fundamental Attribution Error (maybe this wasn’t implied during the presentation). (Also, the Fundamental Attribution Error has since been renamed the Correspondence Bias.)
One last thing: Maslow’s theorized hierarchy of needs starts from the bottom, not the top. Social needs would actually precede the personal needs of Slide 22.
Swissmiss is an online garden Tina Roth Eisenberg started in 2005 and has lovingly tended to ever since.
Besides swissmiss, Tina founded and runs TeuxDeux, CreativeMornings and her Brooklyn based co-working community Friends Work Here. (She also started Tattly which was recently adopted by BIC)

I wish there were things like this on this side of the atlantic. I feel so left out! Looks like we might have to set one up ourselves….
