role playing

During our class stimulation on role playing, I had the role of the #1 graduate student. My attitude did not change throughout the experiment, I felt like the same person the whole time. In the movie that we watched, Quiet Rage, Zimbardo had some people act as a guard or a prisoner. What had surprised me was how horrible the guards treated the prisoners and how some of prisoners started thinking it was an actual prison, and how prisoner 416 went crazy. I was also surprised that the people who were in the prisoner role didnt mention what the guards do to them and tell their parents. If had to play the role of a prisoner, I would probably not be very happy, because of how bad the guards treated them. I also was shocked when #416 had to sit an extra day in the whole with dirty sausages because the other prisoners didnt want to give up their blanket for only one night.
