Do you think that kids from an urban working class environment would have broken down emotionally in the same way as did our middle-class prisoners? Why? What about women?

How I would act if I were assigned as a guard

7. Was it ethical to do this study? Was it right to trade the suffering experienced by participants for the
knowledge gained by the research? (The experimenters did not take this issue lightly, although the Slide
Show may sound somewhat matter-of-fact about the events and experiences that occurred).

1. What prevented "good guards" from objecting or countermanding the orders from tough or bad guards?

how other groups of people would respond

Which question made you really think?

What is the most interesting question from the worksheet?

"Our study of prison life began, then, with an average group of healthy, intelligent, middle-class males. These boys were arbitrarily divided into two groups by a flip of the coin. Half were randomly assigned to be guards, the other to be prisoners. It is important to remember that at the beginning of our experiment there were no differences between boys assigned to be a prisoner and boys assigned to be a guard." (A quote from the website) All these people were selected because they were similar, which is important. The guards and prisoners scored similarly on all tests.

# data[].attributes.body
Also how the neighbors were just staring at the participants getting arrested

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting that the experiment only tested on mentally stable males.

I think its very horrible that some people had to go through this just for some "guards" playing too much into act and being very physical and aggressive. It blows my mind how they just abused these people just because they wanted to. They weren't told to so it was pretty much all of their choices. Those poor people had to go through all of that without them having done anything wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
How everyones personality changed in a drastic way even though it was just simulation, it was as if the longer they experimented the more it was no longer a simulation.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was interesting how quickly people changed the entire identity of who they were during the experiment. It took the prisoners only six days to fully breakdown due to the terrible treatment. After six days the guards seemed to let go of all their morals of how to treat people, and some became physically and emotionally abusive.

# data[].attributes.body
Also how the phycologist got into character too

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was intersting how much the guards got into the simulation and what they actually had to do. In the beginning when the prisoners had to get stripped and checked it caused humilation and I was not expecting them to actually do that since it was only an experiment

# data[].attributes.body
I think the most interesting thing from the webquest was just how invested the experimenters were and how they themselves started to believe that this was an actual prison. I also think it was fascinating how the prisoners really lost their sense of identity. For example, how they started referring to themselves by their number rather than their name.

# data[].attributes.body
The most interesting thing for me was how they cleaned up the prison for the families and made it seem like that they were being treated fine. Also how the guards treated them because of how many breakdowns the participants had.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it very interesting that they knew that it was a simulation and they still had breakdowns because of it. They knew they would be okay at the end and some of them still needed to leave

That all the guards changed from this nice person to the scariest and strictest person ever. That they were that  strict that it only happened for 6 days and not 2 weeks.

# data[].attributes.body
What I thought was very interesting/ concerning was the lack of regards to the students' health. One "prisoner" had to go to the doctor due to the unhealthy eating  circumstances he was forced face. Also the fact that multiple men emotionally broke down and they believed it to be a ploy in order to escape.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it kind of terrifying how quickly people forgot they were in an experiment and had an emotional breakdown within six days of a new environment

# data[].attributes.body
The most interesting thing that I learned was that the people who went into the experiment change drastically to when they first went into the prison. The guards got so controlling and the prisoners really thought they no longer had that power

# data[].attributes.body
The most interesting thing I learned is that so many of the people who were "prisoners" ended up having breakdowns of some kind from a simulation. I found it very interesting that a simulation can still cause emotional pressure because the environment gets worse and worse simply by the "guards" getting a little too into character.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the fact that the people playing the guards were able to choose how they as a guard would treat prisoners. Showed a lot about their personal morals and ethics.
