Role Playing & Standford Prison Study

When we were first assigned for our role playing I was unsure on how to act. But as a the time went on we all started to fit into our roles. Sometimes I felt bad on the things that were said because even though it wasn't true the harsh words were still said and it was hard to ignore. Same with the Stanford Prison Study, they all knew the experiment was fake but as time went on most of the guards started to react like actual guards and were making the prisoners do horrible and embarrassing things which in turn made the prisoners feel like real prisoners and some started to have mental breakdowns like the ones who had to leave the experiment for example. The entire study I think changed everyone because they were all put out of their comfort zones and started to feel like actual prisoners or guards and that I'm sure really affected them as it was shown in the video.
