Some high points:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gleech.org\/psych\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">No good evidence of anything from the Stanford prison \u2018experiment\u2019. It was not an experiment; \u2018demand characteristics\u2019 and scripting of the abuse; constant experimenter intervention; faked reactions from participants; as Zimbardo concedes, they began with a complete \u201cabsence of specific hypotheses\u201d.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gleech.org\/psych\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">No good evidence from the famous Milgram experiments that 65% of people will inflict pain if ordered to. Experiment was riddled with researcher degrees of freedom, going off-script, implausible agreement between very different treatments, and \u201conly half of the people who undertook the experiment fully believed it was real and of those, 66% disobeyed the experimenter.\u201d<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gleech.org\/psych\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Evidence for a small marshmallow effect, that ability to delay gratification as a 4 year old predicts educational outcomes at 15 or beyond (Mischel).<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gleech.org\/psych\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">After controlling for the socioeconomic status of the child\u2019s family, the Marshmallow effect is r=0.05 or d=0.1 one-tenth of a standard deviation for an additional minute delay, with nonsignificant p-values. And since it\u2019s usually easier to get SES data\u2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gleech.org\/psych\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cExpertise attained after 10,000 hours practice\u201d (Gladwell).
