“Please create a set of flashcards for the following key terms and how they are defined as well as applied to the Stanford Prison Experiment so far (only have begun the set up of the experiment and are only into the first few days): Vocabulary Present in the First 12 Minutes 1. Essential Student-Use Vocabulary These are the terms I would expect students to be able to use in an analysis of what they watched. Term How it appears in the video Modeled use in analysis Situation Zimbardo argues that people were placed in a powerful prison environment. The video repeatedly questions how much the situation influenced behavior. (4:55–5:07) “The situation may have influenced the participants’ behavior by placing them in a prison-like environment with unequal power.” Disposition The video introduces the idea that different people behaved differently in the same general situation. Participants also discuss their personalities and backgrounds. (0:24–0:37; 5:18–6:04) “The participants’ dispositions may have affected how they responded to the prison roles.” Role Participants were randomly assigned to be guards or prisoners. (0:45–1:23; 6:10–6:52) “The guard and prisoner roles created different expectations for how participants should behave.” Power Guards were given control of the prison, while prisoners were placed in a dependent position. (6:16–6:21; 9:35–10:15) “The unequal power between guards and prisoners allowed guards to control important aspects of the prisoners’ lives.” Authority The Stanford researchers created the prison, selected participants, and gave guards control. Zimbardo was also presented as a respected Stanford psychologist. (4:22–5:25; 6:16–6:21) “The authority of the Stanford researchers may have made participants more willing to accept the prison structure.” Anonymity Prisoners wore numbers, simple smocks, and coverings that reduced their individual identity. (9:41–10:15) “The prisoners’ numbers and uniforms reduced their individual identities and made them easier to treat as objects within the system.” Depersonalization The video directly describes prisoners becoming “an object in a system as opposed to an individual.” (10:06–10:15) “Depersonalization occurred when prisoners were treated as numbers rather than as unique individuals.” Dehumanization A prisoner explicitly says, “It was part of their plan to dehumanize us.” (10:06–10:15) “The prisoners experienced dehumanization when the procedures made them feel less like people and more like objects under control.” Role expectations Participants describe how they began adjusting to their roles. One guard deliberately took a leadership role and began organizing drills. (11:04–11:54) “The expectation that guards should control prisoners may have encouraged Eshleman to become more aggressive and authoritarian.” Situational influence The video asks what happens when ordinary college students are placed in an extreme environment. (0:24–0:37; 4:55–5:07) “The video presents situational influence as an explanation for why ordinary people might behave differently in a prison environment.””
