FILM AND VIDEOS
Candid Camera Classics for Social Psychology consists of 16 episodes that I selected； with Allen
Funt’s assistance； to dramatize many key social psychology topics； such as pliance；
conformity； obedience； social influence； authority； power； morality； and bias in field surveys。
Each of these creative gems is funny and entertaining； while teaching important messages about
human nature。 Since they vary in duration from 2 to 6 minutes； a given episode can be used to
launch a lecture as a thematic overview； to underscore a conclusion from a body of empirical
research； or to provide a source for opening a discussion of the behaviors that the class and the
instructor observed together。 The Candid Camera Classics e with an instructor’s guide （that I
prepared with Allen Funt） that will assist teachers in getting the most mileage from using them。
McGraw…Hill distributes this video （VHS） and a laser disk version。 For ordering information； call
1…800…338…3987。
Quiet Rage： The Stanford Prison Study is a 50…minute video of the experiment I conducted in
1971 （with Craig Haney and Curt Banks）； in which college students were randomly assigned to
play the roles of prisoners or guards in a mock prison。 This planned 2…week study had to be
terminated after only 6 days because of the pathology that emerged from participants chosen
precisely because they were the most normal and healthy individuals of the many that had
volunteered for the study。 The video uses some of the original archival footage filmed secretly
during the study； along with film of the surprise arrests of the volunteers by the police。 In
addition to the daily chronology of events that unfolded in this Pirandellian Prison； the film
includes post…experiment interviews with former prisoners and guards； including a powerful
testimony by the first student to have a “nervous breakdown” that influenced his entire life。 He
went on to get a Ph。D。 in clinical psychology； do an internship at San Quentin Prison； and bee
a prison psychologist in the San Francisco County Jail； where he has worked for the past 14 years。

PSYCHOLOGY AND LIFE
Abilene Paradox （1984）。 VCFM； 27 minutes
A gently humorous exposition of social psychological concepts such as groupthink and
deindividuation。 Demonstrates how the cognitive processing of a well…intentioned； cooperating

Captive Minds： Hypnosis and Beyond （1985）。 JFMU； 55 minutes
Explains how long…term conditioning takes place； such as how the Moonies hold on to their
disciples； and how the Marine Corps generates such fierce loyalty。 The indoctrination methods of
disparate institutions are surprisingly similar。 Recruits are isolated in unfamiliar environments；
kept busy to the point of exhaustion； confused； frightened； and their sense of identity weakened。
Over time； they bee vulnerable to suggestion。 They then readily submit to a strong
authoritarian leader。 Reminds us that we are all vulnerable to psychological manipulations； some
of which have social and political consequences。

introduces reasons for conformity and investigates some of the variables that predict who is
likely to conform。

Uses field and laboratory settings to look at social psychology’s main findings and principles in
the area of conformity and independence。 Includes Sherif’s experiments on norm formation；
Asch’s experiments on group pressure； and Crutchfield’s variation； Milgram’s experiment on
action conformity； Kelman’s three processes of pliance； and Moscovici’s theoretical views。
Prejudice： Causes； Consequences； Cures （1974）。 CFM； 23 minutes

the problems of double standards； overgeneralized observations； territorial and economic group
conflicts； severe and punitive upbringing； conformity； and socialization。
Prejudice （1989）。 Insight Media； 30 minutes
Showing four scenarios of prejudiced behavior； this program explores stereotypes and emotions
underlying prejudice。 It discusses possible methods for reducing discrimination。

minutes
This film illustrates self…fulfilling prophecies in several settings； including social science and
industrial management experiments。 Illustrations include placebo effects and bank runs during
the depression。

PSYCHOLOGY AND LIFE
War and Violence （1986）。 FFHS； 52 minutes
Demonstrates that poverty and violence go hand in hand。 Depicts inner…city Boston and a lesson
on walking away from a fight。 Includes an interview with a young Hispanic in Oakland who
talks about the machismo that underlies gang violence。 Explains that around the world violence
is fueled by religion； nationalism； or race and made worse by politicians’ rhetoric。 Looks at the
possibility of warfare today and the repercussion it has on the whole human race。 From the
Human Animal Series； hosted by Phil Donahue。
The Wave （1981）。 44 minutes
Observes as teacher Burt Ross reenacts a 1967 social experiment in which a movement similar in
philosophy to that of the Nazi Third Reich is created。 Shows how the ideas of power； discipline；
and superiority were drilled into his students and how willingly most of them adopted these
ideas。

injustices occurring around them。
