I stumbled upon an interesting study conducted by Stanford University. This study was conducted in 1971 summer, quite a long while back and Standford had neatly shared the details on its website http://www.prisonexp.org/. The experiment had to be called off because of blurring of difference appearing between experiment and reality and first comment on morality by a PHD scholar. One of the interesting discussion points was:
In the encounter sessions, all the prisoners were happy the experiment was over, but most of the guards were upset that the study was terminated prematurely. Why do you think the guards reacted this way?
