In the early 1970s, the psychology professor known as Philip Zimbardo led a research project were college student volunteers were made to enact a prison simulation with the students acting as guards and prisoners. The aim was to see how actions based hierarchy, even if it was just role play, could affect someone's behavior under prolonged exposure. Said experiment was supposed to last for two weeks but ended in six days because some people took it too far.
How long do you think would it take for you to succumb to The Stanford Prison Experiment?
I'd probably snap in a short time If I was to take this kind of experiment.
