Respuesta :
This is false, the guards and prisoners themselves were all chosen randomly from volunteering college students
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The Stanford prison experiment tried to analysed the effect of perceived power. In this experiment, college students were used and they were assigned a role as prison guard or prisoner. The students were chosen based on test results that showed which candidates where the most psychologically stable and healthy and also, people with criminal backgrounds were excluded. So, the claim that in the Stanford prison experiment, students with a predisposition to mental disorders and sociopathy were assigned as prison guards is false.
