Wake for Philip Zimbardo - The Stanford Prison Experiment - Class Activity - Social Influence

As Philip Zimbardo (Birth 23/03/1933 – Death 14/10/24 ), the renowned psychologist behind the Stanford Prison Experiment, has passed away, your class has the opportunity to organise a wake in his honour. Zimbardo’s study is a key part of the AQA Psychology Specification, particularly within the Social Influence topic; conformity to social roles. As part of this memorial wake, students will deliver eulogies discussing his contributions to the field. The event will include a reflection on his work, fun activities, and food. Please note, as of September 2025, Zimbardo’s study will be removed from the specification, making this event even more crucial to commemorate his pioneering work. Tasks include delivering eulogies, participating in group activities, and bringing themed snacks.

This wake provides a meaningful opportunity to both celebrate Zimbardo’s legacy and engage with his groundbreaking research in a fun and reflective way.
