Philip George Zimbardo Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Philip George Zimbardo (born March 23, 1933) is a psychologist and a professor emeritus at Stanford University. He became known for his 1971 Stanford prison experiment and has since authored various introductory psychology books, textbooks for college students, and other notable works, including The Lucifer Effect, The Time Paradox and the The Time Cure. He is also the founder and president of the Heroic Imagination Project.
Ideas for my first experiments in human aggression came from discussions we had in a research seminar about William Golding's Lord of the Flies.

Fact
1
This famous psychologist's notorious 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment had to be canceled after Day 5, because the division of college students into "guards" and "prisoners" became grimly realistic, cruel, and ultimately sadistic. This experiment, decades later, is still studied by psychologists interested in human behavior.
2
Zimbardo is of Sicilian ancestry. His father, George Zimbardo, was an electrician, and his mother, Margaret Bisicchia, worked at home raising Zimbardo, his sister, Vera, and two brothers, George Jr. and Donald. His parents originally immigrated from a small village called Cammarata, about 40 miles from Palermo, Sicily.

His first wife, Rose A. Zimbardo (b. May 19, 1932), was a literary critic and wrote about, among other subjects, J.R.R. Tolkien, George Bernard Shaw, and satire in Restoration England.
