Watch this week’s documentary on social psychologist Philip Zimbardo’s 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment. Outline the statuses involved in the experiment and their attached roles. Explain how the statuses and roles are played out by the participants? How does the experiment demonstrate the power of social structure in shaping individuals’ behavior? If you were a participant in the experiment, do you think you would have behaved as the original participants did? Why or why not?
