Responda
  • That the Stanford experiment's instructions to the guards probably distorted their powers of authority, leading to the results that it gave.
  • There was too much control over the roles, thus it was completely unrealistic.

Responda
  • It gave strong empirical support to social identity theory with how it functions a guard-prisoner dynamic in realistic settings.
  • It is highly unrealistic and doesn't add much value to the argument of social identity theory, largely because of the concepts being used (e.g. filming, promotion).

Questão 23

Questão
What is the situationalist approach?

  • How every situation is dependent on what we see and interpret it to be.
