Answer 1

Explanation:

• Zimbardo designed the Stanford Prison Experiment to determine what the result would be when one group was granted authority over another group. In the 1971 study, Zimbardo assigned 24 college students with the roles of guards or prisoners in a mock prison on the Stanford grounds. Though the study was scheduled to last two weeks, over the course of six days, the prisoners developed unique behaviors that mimicked those of real prisoners, including rioting, rebellion, and even depression and rage. The prison guards, who were given clear instructions as to which tactics they were allowed to use, quickly began exceeding the limitations of punishment and degradation. The observing psychologists noticed that many of the prison guards used sadistic and even torturous behaviors to gain control over the prisoners, even when unwarranted. The prisoners believed that they were real prisoners, and several were severely emotionally traumatized. The experiment was terminated early as a result.
