Psychology as we know it is a relatively young science, but since its inception it has helped us to gain a greater understanding of ourselves and our interactions with the world. Many psychological experiments have been valid and ethical, allowing researchers to make new treatments and therapies available, and giving other insights into our motivations and actions. Sadly, others have ended up backfiring horribly — ruining lives and shaming the profession. Here are ten psychological experiments that spiraled out of control. 10. Stanford Prison Experiment

In Chenzhuang Village, China, about 20 miles northwest of central Beijing, the ruins of a partially built amusement park called Wonderland sit near a highway, surrounded by houses and fields of corn. Construction work at the park, which developers had promised would be "the largest amusement park in Asia," stopped around 1998 after disagreements with the local government and farmers over property prices. Developers briefly tried to restart construction in 2008, but without success. The abandoned structures are now a draw for local children and a few photographers, who encounter signs telling them to proceed at their own risk. Reuters photographer David Gray visited the site on a chilly morning earlier this month and returned with these haunting images of a would-be Wonderland. [ 21 photos ]

Anyone that’s had the “pleasure” of being squeezed into a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device for medical testing knows that you must ensure you have absolutely no metal on or in your person before allowing the technician to turn it on. The reason is a simple one: you are about to be inserted into what amounts to a gigantic electromagnet , and no one wants to clean up the mess if you forgot to take out your earrings, for example. So what exactly would happen if you turned an MRI machine on and then threw some metal objects into it? A group of students and professors from the University of California at Berkeley found out when they came across an old MRI unit that was being decommissioned. Check out the fun that they had with it in the video above. Used by doctors the world over as a non-invasive way to get a picture of what’s happening inside a human body, MRI technology was first invented back in the 1950′s by a researcher named Herman Carr.
