Question

dictate that guards should be authoritarian and prisoners should be submissive, which is precisely how they were depicted in the Stanford prison experiment.

Answer 1

Social norms dictate that guards must be authoritarian and prisoners must be submissive.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• Social norms are patterns of behavior stimulated and maintained in society as correct.

• Given these norms, it is said that to maintain authority, guards and police officers must be authoritarian within the police stations, while prisoners must show submissive and inferior behavior.

While these two behaviors are problematic within society, they are maintained and encouraged because of a gradient of authority within a prison. This was proven during the Stanford prison experiment.

In this experiment, the teacher divided the class into two groups. One group would represent the police and the other group would represent the prisoners.

Even if students acted naturally, social norms were established with greater force as time passed, causing students to show authoritarian or submissive behavior depending on the group they were in.
