You may have seen or heard about the film The Stanford Prison Experiment (2015), which centered around Philip Zimbardo's 1971 research on psychologically healthy individuals placed into a stressful situation, to answer the question about how context impacts human behavior. Zimbardo wondered, "what happens when you put good people in an evil place? Does humanity win over evil, or does evil triumph?" The study was planned for two weeks, but ended shortly before one week had passed because of experimenter concerns about signs of sadism in the guards and signs of extreme depression and stress in the prisoners.

According to the Stanford Prison Experiment website, "despite suffering extreme emotional stress during the experiment, all participants appear to have regained their baseline emotional states after the study. Extensive follow-up testing revealed no lasting trauma toparticipants."

Does this mitigate what the subjects experienced in the experiment? Explain yourreasoning.

A. Yes, the appearance of no lasting trauma does mitigate the experience because of the knowledge gained by thestudy.

B. Yes, the appearance of no lasting trauma does mitigate the experience because it means the researchers were successful in preventing long termtrauma.

C. No, the appearance of no lasting trauma does not mitigate the experience because the subjects should always be told all of the details in astudy.

D. No, the appearance of no lasting trauma does not mitigate the experience because the subjects were not informed about potential harm prior to consent and there may still be lastingtrauma.
