I know there was one experiement where a psychologist put his students into a prison setting. Some of the students were prisoners and some were guards. Well the guards became very abusive. It's another study that wasn't supposed to be repeated but a few years ago I think someone else tried it and the same thing happened.

Also the poor baby with the bunny. It's a really old one where they filmed this baby getting shocked every time she went to pet the bunny. Oh it was horrible to see and the one we watched didn't even show the whole thing.

The other is one where they took people and told they will be shocking someone in the next room (I can't remember if they are asking tehm questions and the shocks are if they get it wrong.) Well, there is really no one getting shocked, but they are supposed to turn up the power every time or something. The researcher stands there and tells them when to shock I think. People would do it and then break down. It was horrible. That's another one that's not to be repeated.
The prison experiment was called the Stanford Prison Experiment and the shock/authority one is the Milgram Experiment. I had an argument with an arrogant staff member at a hospital about the latter. Good times.
