What started as a study of power dynamics quickly turned into an unsettling exploration of dehumanization.

Within days, the «guards» began exhibiting abusive behaviors, while the «prisoners» fell into despair and submission.

Zimbardo found that dehumanization doesn’t always stem from individual traits.

It often emerges from circumstances that encourage the abuse of power.

This phenomenon, known as the «Lucifer Effect,» suggests something unsettling.
