In the 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment, college-student participants quickly internalized their assigned roles: "guards" became increasingly authoritarian and abusive, using humiliation, control, and psychological tactics, while "prisoners" grew passive, distressed, and some suffered emotional breakdowns or mounted rebellions. The rapid deindividuation and extreme role behavior prompted researchers to terminate the study after six days instead of the planned two weeks.
