      abstract = {What makes good people do bad things? Where is the line  separating good from evil, and who is in danger of crossing  it? Social psychologist Philip Zimbardo explains how--and  the myriad reasons why--we are all susceptible to the lure  of "the dark side." Drawing on examples from history as  well as his own research, Zimbardo details how situational  forces and group dynamics can work in concert to make  monsters out of decent people. By illuminating the  psychological causes behind such disturbing metamorphoses,  Zimbardo enables us to better understand a variety of  phenomena, from corporate malfeasance to organized  genocide. He replaces the long-held notion of the "bad  apple" with that of the "bad barrel"--the idea that the  social setting and the system contaminate the individual,  rather than the other way around. Yet we are capable of  resisting evil, he argues, and can even teach ourselves to  act heroically.--From publisher description.},
