The Stanford Prison Experiment
Circumstances can gradually change a person's character, while situations can immediately change a person's behavior. A gentle gentleman will become a bloodthirsty monster under certain circumstances
First, a control group should be set up to compare attitudes and values with the experimental group.
I don't think professors should play two roles at the same time: prison director and chief researcher of the experiment. As time went on, the professor gradually became more like a prison director and separated from his identity as a researcher.
