Using Zimbardo’s Experiment video documentary to effectively teach the power of roles and negatives in teams

During this session, I will present a video analysis activity that illustrates the power of negative roles as well as some of the negative aspects of team dynamics. The video depicts actual footage of the Stanford Prison Experiment by Philip Zimbardo as well as interviews with some of the participants. The activity is used in my Organizational Behavior class, in both face-to-face and online formats. I will not only provide the conference participants with the opportunity to hear about my activity, but I also intend to encourage colleagues to share their own assignments on team dynamics.
