At the web page of Professor Philip G. Zimbardo you will find an in-depth slide show of the Stanford Prison study, including its application to current events such as the Abu Ghraib Prison scandal. A different type of "prison" is shyness—if you click on the Research tab, then link to shyness, at the bottom of that segment is a link to the "Shyness Homepage: An Index to Resources for Shyness." While you're at Professor Zimbardo's site, go ahead and check out his many other areas of research—he's extraordinarily prolific!

Finally, you'll see how jealousy fits into an evolutionary perspective on mate selection.
