The Experiment

I just noticed this recent movie, The Experiment, and found it interesting that it is based on the Stanford Prison Experiment. This is NOT a recommendation for the movie, I've not seen it and it's rated R. It is worth noting that the things learned about in psychology emerge in all areas of culture and life.

Psychology in the News

These links tell the story of the 33 miners in Chile, who survived being stuck underground for over two months. They are currently in the process of being rescued. What will be the psychological effects of this extended period underground? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/39604019#39604019
