On Monday, May 28, a psychologist, Prof. Philip Zimbardo will be the guest of the University of Wroclaw. He is one of the most well-known and at the same time the most controversial scientists in the world.

During his visit to the University of Wroclaw, Zimbardo will promote his latest book, “Live better, love smarter”. He will receive the Institute of Psychology Award, see a presentation prepared by students and PhD students based on his book “Time Perspective” and give a lecture on “Zimbardo’s Life Perspective”.

Professor Zimbardo is an American psychologist, emeritus professor at Stanford University. In the early 70s he conducted his famous prison experiments. As part of a groundbreaking study, he divided volunteers into two groups – “prisoners” and “guards” – to see if the roles assigned to them would affect their behavior.
