I’m working on a psychology discussion question and need guidance to help me study.
As you have read in this chapter, The Stanford Prison Experiment suggests that individuals will adopt social roles relatively quickly. Remember that a social role is a socially defined pattern of behavior that is expected of a person in a given setting or group. These social roles may become even more pronounced when one person has a greater amount of perceived power over another person as was shown by this famous study. Based on your understanding of social roles, social norms, and scripts, how can this experiment be applied to everyday life? Describe a situation where you believed yourself to be carrying out a social role? Did the social role feel authentic to your own core beliefs and values? Why or why not?
