What does the Stanford prison experiment in psychology show?

The experiment was conducted by American psychologist zimbardo and others in 1969. \x0d\ Objective: To investigate whether the psychological tendency of abuse is congenital or acquired \x0d\ Object: Twenty-four male college students (with no prison experience, no history of drug abuse, and good physical and mental health) earn $65,438+05 per day. \x0d\ Location: Investigators set up a mock prison in the basement of the psychology department of Stanford University \x0d\ Process: participants were arrested by the police and taken to the test site. Participants were divided into two groups by drawing lots, 12 prisoners and 12 prison guards. The prisoner will first take off his clothes, sprinkle with lice powder, put on a white robe similar to a woman's clothes, don't wear underwear or stockings, number everyone instead of his name, and have a hinge on his right ankle. Prison guards wear uniforms, batons and cold hands Luke to prevent eye contact. As there is no clock or window, the prisoners don't know the time. Prison guards can punish at will. \x0d\ Conclusion: Due to the special prison environment, the behavior of prison guards becomes more violent the day after tomorrow, and some even take pleasure in punishing prisoners. Due to social interference, the experiment had to be ended early. Actually, it only lasted six days. Being a prisoner participant calls it a terrible nightmare. It also caused different degrees of harm to them. This experiment also led to the birth of a new law on prison abuse. All the above are facts, which may be different from the plot of the film.
