The Youth Stanford Prison Experiment is a specialized version of the original Stanford Prison Experiment, designed specifically for adolescents aged 15-18. This activity focuses on understanding the psychological effects of perceived power and authority in a controlled, experimental setting. The project is led by a team of expert psychologists and behavioral researchers to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants.
The Youth Stanford Prison Experiment involves splitting participants into two groups: prisoners and guards. For a set period of time, they are immersed in a simulated prison environment where they will act out their assigned roles. The goal is to observe how the dynamics of power and authority affect behavior, decision-making, and emotional responses. This experience aims to teach youth about leadership, responsibility, empathy, and the consequences of unchecked power.
