Testing conformity within social groups, a number of normal students were assigned to two groups: "prisoner" and "guards". Left relatively unsupervised for a few days, morals go out of the window, guards turn nasty, prisoners break down and the experiment is ended prematurely. The main rule was "no physical violence," but no violence was required to make the students conform to their new roles. For instance, the prisoners entered the experiment by being woken in the middle of the night, stripped nude and deloused (all the while being taunted by the guards), and given uniforms. Their uniforms had numbers on - a day or so later, the prisoners (not just the guards!) had stopped referring to each other by name, but by number! If I recall correctly, Zimbardo ended the experiment after being told to by his wife - excellent!

Testing peer pressure and obedience to authority figures. Subjects (now "teachers") were introduced to a stooge "student." In seperate rooms, the teacher (supervised by the experimenter) would ask the student questions - incorrect answers resulting in electric shocks. Shock machine had labels from 0-450 volts, with wording from "mild" to "danger" and "XXX". Teachers were ordered ("The experiment requires you continue," "You must proceed,") to shock the stooge (not really in any pain), who feigned screams of pain and an ominous silence at higher voltages from the other room. Though clearly distraught, teachers continued because of the authority figure (the experimenter) urging them on.
Ultimately, 65% of all of the "teachers" punished the "learners" to the maximum 450 volts. No subject stopped before reaching 300 volts! Bearing in mind that 300 would be clearly marked with "DANGER," and the student would be pretending to scream in agony!

It would've been interesting to see how the prison experiment turned out after the two weeks; moreover if the situation had been reversed afterwards from prisoners to guards.

This one time, we were having lunch and a friend went to the toilet. We poured soy sauce into his half finished can of coke and he came back and he didn't drink it. I think it's because we were giggling and saying drink the coke, drink it! Next time I will try the same thing but do it secretly so we dont make each other laugh, and then it will be a suprise to everyone.

My friend tried to do that to me but with tobasco in Dr. Pepper. He bought me a Dr. Pepper, and, being the cynic I am, imediatly questioned him as to why he bought it ("Did you do something horrible to me, and now trying to soften the blow with this", "What did you do to it?", et cetera).
Being a good observer helps. When I opened it, I noticed a few things, like the fact that the safety ring didn't crack when I removed the cap, telling me it had been opened before. I also noticed a strange odor when the bottle was opened. I sniffed the drink, and then quickly exposed his psuedo-prank.
It would have helped him if I didn't know that he always carried tobasco to add some spice to the school's food, and that he didn't mention that he wanted to try something like that a day or two ago.
I then was obliged to slap him for ruining a bottle of Dr. Pepper (I'm kind of a fanatic; I do everything better with Dr. Pepper. I can't even play my part during rehearsal well without it.)
Back in psychology we were told of an experiment that psyche teacher did with his kids. He let them be part of a club (there was some benefit, extra credit or something), and then they just had to do a hand signal to show they were still in the group each day.
After a few weeks the club spread outside of the psyche class and students in the halls were being part of the group, and did the hand signal to other students to show they were in the club.
Eventually most of the school was part of this 'club' and some of them ended up beating up another kid for not being in the club, because he didn't do the hand signal...the principal called the psyche teacher down to his office to have the teacher straighten the kids out.
So he had his psychology classes go to the auditorium, and he says (paraphrased), "I'd like you to meet your club leader." Where he procedes to show a picture of Hitler doing his "Heil!" stuff. Makes me wonder what their hand signal was.
Just an example of how conformity and group thinking can go out of control. Keep in mind it's all paraphrased from memory and it might be a bit off.
Wish I had the article around still. Oh well. I've heard of the other two in here though. I were looking for Pavlov and his exciting "Ring a bell, make a dog slobber" stuff? Or just interesting human psychology experiments?
A lot of Psych articles are stored in Journals and what not. I have access to them in my school because I am psych major, I'll see if its universal access that way you can search for whatever you want.
Psychology Today is a good magazine, but some of it is BS.
Also, are you looking for actual research articles in APA format, or something more like from a magazine.
APA reserach articles can be a **** to read if you don't know what the statistics mean. Some of the magazine articles are just BS.

Testing conformity within social groups, a number of normal students were assigned to two groups: "prisoner" and "guards". Left relatively unsupervised for a few days, morals go out of the window, guards turn nasty, prisoners break down and the experiment is ended prematurely. The main rule was "no physical violence," but no violence was required to make the students conform to their new roles. For instance, the prisoners entered the experiment by being woken in the middle of the night, stripped nude and deloused (all the while being taunted by the guards), and given uniforms. Their uniforms had numbers on - a day or so later, the prisoners (not just the guards!) had stopped referring to each other by name, but by number! If I recall correctly, Zimbardo ended the experiment after being told to by his wife - excellent!

So he had his psychology classes go to the auditorium, and he says (paraphrased), "I'd like you to meet your club leader." Where he procedes to show a picture of Hitler doing his "Heil!" stuff. Makes me wonder what their hand signal was.
Just an example of how conformity and group thinking can go out of control. Keep in mind it's all paraphrased from memory and it might be a bit off.

Also, are you looking for actual research articles in APA format, or something more like from a magazine.
APA reserach articles can be a **** to read if you don't know what the statistics mean. Some of the magazine articles are just BS.
Anyways I'll take a look for you.
