Twenty-four students were paid fifteen dollars a day to be guards and prisoners in a basement, and the study was stopped after six of a planned fourteen days. It was taught for decades as proof that ordinary people turn cruel in the right costume. Later work on the archived tapes showed the guards had been coached toward it, and the finding is now taught mostly as a lesson about how experiments go wrong.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
