Introduction
This book introduces 30 famous psychological experiments that were controversial and caused a stir in the history of psychology. Some of them violated professional ethics and were too cruel, causing pain to the participants, such as the Stanford Prison Experiment and Milgram's electric shock experiment. Some challenge the basic beliefs of mankind and impact the deep-rooted values of mankind. For example, Judy Harris's research on genes and upbringing weakens the influence of parents on their children, which is difficult for us who believe that "parents are their children's first teachers" to accept. Other experiments have caused great suffering to animals that also have the right to life and dignity, such as the dog in the learned helplessness experiment that was shocked in a cage but had nowhere to escape and could only whine helplessly. All in all, these psychological experiments are a bit "perverted", but they are thought-provoking.
