    The document contains questions about Philip Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment. The questions cover details about the experiment such as the setup of the mock prison, how guards and prisoners were prepared for their roles, how guards asserted their authority over prisoners, instances of prisoner rebellion and punishment, and how the experiment revealed insights into obedience to authority, diffusion of responsibility, and self-fulfilling prophecies. The experiment was ended early due to the escalating abusive and cruel treatment of prisoners by guards.
