About Social Psychology


Abu Ghraib Prison: By Maitreyee, Mumbai, India

I am a psychology honour's student in India. For a paper that I have to submit, the topic is - Why American soldier's tortured Iraqi detainees in Abu Ghraib Prison- I would like any suggestions related to the basic outline, as in the points that should be covered.

I plan to include destructive obedience, lack of leadership, power politics, in-group and out-group and possibly the aggression levels of the male soldiers as compared to those of the female soldiers. If you could provide any papers on the same as reference for my paper, or any links or places I could look up information in as well as any suggestions you might have, I will greatly appreciate your help. :)

There is a wealth of opinion on the topic of jailer brutality preceding Iraq. The place to begin is with the 'Stanford Prison Experiment' which demonstrated how easy it is to draw this kind of sadistic behavior from usually kind people. (Anonymous).

In the early 1960's Albert Bandura began investigating aggression through imitation, research that gave rise to one of the most famous psychology experiments of all time. This classic publication is, therefore, essential reading for psychology students, educators and professionals.
