Dr Zimbardo made his name with the Stanford Prison Experiment, one of a number of psychological studies which have indicated the potential for ordinary people to do bad things. Now Zimbardo's investigating the potential of ordinary people to become heroes. As part of that he's conducting some online research. You can find out more about that here.
