This violated the APA and CPA code of ethics in many ways. Some examples in APA include: Respecting autonomy, being just, according dignity, treating others with care and compassion, and accepting accountability. In CPA, respect for the dignity of persons, responsible caring, integrity in relationships, and responsibility to society were all violated. The guards began to violate the prisoner's, treating them with cruelty when they should not have been. They weren't real prisoners and had done nothing wrong, there for violating almost all of the CPA and APA code of ethics. Although the prisoners eventually began to rebel, they were still treated with disrespect from the pretending guards. I think that the experiment was interesting to learn about but it is a really horrible event for someone to have taken part of. The guards would treat the prisoners really awfully and the prisoners would start to act out like they normally wouldn't in their normal lives. I think that there must have been away that Zimbardo could have tested his hypothesis. Using different stereotypical roles in life instead of violent ones such as prisoners and guards. It was interesting to see that the participants actually dedicated themselves to their roles so much but at the same time it kind of scared me to know people would go that far just because they are told to do so.
