In other words, at this time, the experimental factor is the role of 8612 and the prisoner who mainly provoked the incident. Although the professor was waiting for 8612 to come back to assist others in escaping the prison, when his colleague asked him whether he had added the experimental factor, of course there was a strong rebuttal, but he obviously ignored the significant impact of the distribution of these two roles.
First of all, compared with other prisoners, the college students numbered 8612 were more inclined to resist all the prisoners' orders. On the first day of the experiment, they provoked, refuted, and abused the prisoners as francis pigs. Moreover, Jess also mentioned later that the reason why 8612 was unbearable on the second day of the experiment was because 8612 wanted to rule all the priests. Once the priests listened to 8612's dispatch, 8612 didn't seem to have any violent behavior. It shows that 8612's character tends to hold power, which means that he should have been selected as a prisoner. At the same time, the other person chosen by the coin seems to be the little prisoner with a partial oily hair. Compared with other prison inmates, his physique is shorter and thinner. Looking at the powerful factor in the experiment, in reality, there is a high probability that this small man belongs to the group of students who are neglected, bullied, and bullied. Therefore, when in this experiment, the professor did not take into account the personality tendencies shown by the psychological test, and randomly assigned the small man to the powerful prison, causing his psychological gap. This sudden rise in status, this stimulus made Small people are more abusive than others. These two experimental factors that violated the original status of society made the originally slow and boring experiment suddenly accelerated, and the first large-scale conflict occurred on the first day, so the contradiction intensified from the beginning of the experiment, which is why prison prisoners They quickly entered the role, benefiting from the stimulation of these two experimental factors.
This intensification of the contradiction unknowingly caused both the prisoner and the prisoner to fall into the whole situation, taking the experiment as a reality, as one of the students said, "it is not an experiment, it is a demonstration" (it is not an experiment, it is a demonstration). An experiment, this is an example). In this simulated small prison society, the asymmetry of its own rights and status magnifies everyone's emotions and senses. This abnormal social model makes prisoners unknowingly ignore the laws and human rights norms of the original society, and the prisoner seems to have no idea to ask a lawyer to defend his rights and save himself from the predicament. In fact, the development of the plot here is difficult to understand for those who have not experienced this experiment: in the United States in the 1970s, as a Stanford student, Prisoner did not immediately ask for a lawyer when his rights were violated. Moreover, it was also stated in the initial contract that once the subject wanted to terminate the participation, he had the right to do so, but most of them did not terminate the participation. The bigger problem is that when the prisoner started physical contact, beat and forced the prisoner, several prisoners had realized that the prisoner violated the contract, but the prisoner still did not indicate in time that they had the right to terminate the role relationship immediately. Various phenomena show that these students have no basic legal knowledge and awareness of defending rights, and even seem to have no understanding of contract law, which is contrary to the character setting of the highly educated Stanford students in the film.
Even if these unreasonable details can be explained arbitrarily by students lacking money and professors, maybe $15 a day was an attractive pay in the United States in the 1970s, but it still does not reflect logical integrity.
