| Zusammenfassung: | The prevailing pedagogical approach in business ethics generally underestimates or even ignores the powerful influences of situational factors on ethical analysis and decision-making. This is due largely to the predominance of philosophy-oriented teaching materials.

Zimbardo's “Stanford Prison Experiment” is used to illustrate the relevance of social psychology experiments for business ethics instruction. |
