Answer 1

The right answer is d. social roles are powerful determinants of human behavior. The Stanford prison experiment was conducted by Philip Zimbardo, which consisted of separating a group of university students between prisoners and prison guards, in order to know how social roles determined human behavior. The experiment had to be suspended because its ethics were questioned.
