Prison Experiments - Sozialpsychologie

Applicants went through three phases of screening
• Firstly, they completed psychometric tests that
measured both social variables (authoritarianism,
social dominance, modern racism) and clinical
variables (depression, anxiety, aggressiveness, demotivation,
self-esteem, self-harm, drug
dependence).
• Secondly, they underwent a full weekend assessment
by independent clinical psychologists.
• Thirdly, medical and character references were
obtained, and police checks were conducted.
