Rorshock Therapy Game. Why psychoanalyze your friends in private over drinks when you can do it to their faces with inkblot evidence?

I don't think I have! Which was that one?

It was done in the 70's. The researcher had a mock prison in the basement of the psych building at Stanford. Participants were randomly assigned as "prisoners" or "guards". It was a fascinating experiment on how people take on roles...the prisoners started going crazy and getting violent and the guards started using force on the prisoners. These were just regular old college students. So...the experiment was ended early because the researcher was afraid of what would happen if it continued. Cool stuff...but unethical and that type of research would never be funded today!

I DO remember that! See, that's another classic that I'd love to replicate. Also, I think it'd be funny to start a rollicking game of Baby vs. Lobster at the office, so it's best I don't have a PhD, come to think of it.

Baby vs. Lobster? I don't get it...am I retarded? :P

Heh, think of all the subversive fun psychologists could have if there were no ethical standards in place!!

There are always pregnant ladies/new moms here at the office, right? Last year, for secret Santa, someone got a live lobster. Surely on any given day, someone has a baby in the office. I think people would bet cash money on watching them fight.

So no, you're not retarded, I am XD

A live lobster for Xmas?! Crazy!

OK, now I get it. Yeah, you shouldn't be a psychologist. :P
