One question - why are the most damaging, frigtening, gruesome physch experiments conducted in prominent universities? Milgram = yale... Prisoners = stanford...
If you havent already, i strongly recommend reading about the Milgram experiment if you havent already.
some other cool experiments are ...
STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT
volunteers randomly chosen to be guards or prisoners. after a while, each began to act its role. Although they were indistinguishable at the beginning... what happens is... AHHHH!!! unbelievable. and interesting.
for details, see

3 Lines
there was a roomful of "subjects" only one of which is actually a test subjects. everyone is asked which two lines were the same length (you can easily see the difference in length) and the subject says whatever the group says. for a better more detailed explanation than my crap, see
http://www.age-of-the-sage.org/psychology/social/asch_conformity.html

also, you can learn to fear stuff through association... little albert experiment
finally, one of the most elegant "experiments" (game) ...
