Management Psychology filter: What other experiments have been performed that are similar to the Stanford Prison Experiment? I distinctly remember watching a video about a similar 1950s experiment in which the "prisoners" were hired actors, and the "interrogators" were the test subject [ f(m,i) = yes ] [more inside]

Everytime I read about the Stanford Prison Experiment, I become skeptical. I can believe the kinds of things that are described happened, I just can't believe they happened so fast. Is there any evidence things didn't happen as described, that the happenings were exaggerated?
