Shocking Kaszubian Zimbardo's Experiments Surprise Scientists!
The “Kashubian Zimbardo” experiments were a series of psychological studies conducted in the 1970s by Stefan Czernik, a doctor and hobbyist from Kaszuby, Poland. Inspired by an experiment carried out by American psychologist Philip Zimbardo, Czernik decided to investigate how people would behave when confined to a small space for an extended period of time.
In his experiment, Czernik gathered a group of volunteers and locked them in a small, windowless room for three days. The study group consisted of people of varying levels of education and age, and Czernik observed their behavior throughout the experiment, recording all activities they undertook.
The psychological studies conducted by Czernik led him to conclude that prolonged confinement in a small, enclosed space without access to fresh air or sunlight could lead to changes in people’s behavior. He observed symptoms of depression, lack of concentration, and irritability among his test subjects.
The conclusion reached by the “Kashubian Zimbardo” experiments was that prolonged confinement in a small space could lead to serious psychological and physical health problems. The results of this study contributed to the development of science and helped to improve the conditions of people confined in prisons or camps.
