ethical debates regarding the use of deception in social psychology research

Do you think studies like Milgram’s study should be done today? If so, are there any aspects you might change to make them more ethical? If not, why not?

Consider Zimbardo’s prison study in which participants experienced such dramatic changes in personality that the study was terminated early. The ethical question in this study and for other research is whether the benefits of what is learned from the study outweigh the potential risks to the participants or researcher.
