Hi John,
Not to toot my horn, but here is a PowerPoint I did for Dr. Zimbardo a few years ago. Sorry for the long list of directions, but I couldn't find a direct route to the presentation.
Go to:
http://www.d230.org/cs/matiya/
select the course, A.P. Psych
select assignments
select social psychology
select "A Powerpoint I did with Dr. Zimbardo."
It'll take a few minutes to load, it has some big graphics..
It is based on his lecture on violence.
Jim
