I have read about various psychological experiments that were conducted in the past but now are considered unethical and will likely never be repeated. Examples of what I'm talking about include the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment">Stanford Prison Experiment</a> and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment">Milgram Experiment</a>.<br> <br> I also can vaguely recall an experiment involving two rival children's summer camps, or perhaps two competing teams of children in one camp, that reminded me of the Stanford Prison Experiment.<br> <br> These experiments fascinate me! Are there any more like them?<br> <br> I prefer psychological studies rather than medical (unless there is a strong psychological component, such as an emphasis on the placebo effect), and the study has to revolve around volunteers who gave at least a semblance of informed consent (no Nazi science, please! and no need to point me towards THE <a href="http://bostonreview.net/BR31.4/saxe.html">forbidden experiment</a>).
