      Don’t use the Zimbardo prison experiment. From your link:

      Certain critics have described the study as unscientific and fraudulent.[6][7] In particular, Thibault Le Texier has established that the guards were asked directly to behave in certain ways in order to confirm Zimbardo’s conclusions, which were largely written in advance of the experiment.

        I’m going to repeat what @plyth said. “Don’t use the Zimbardo prison experiment”.
        Zimbardo was as manipulative as the psychologists from the Robbers Cave experiment,
        with the only difference being that the former was only done once, while in the latter,
        the subjects figured out that they were being manipulated and turned against the psychologists.

        Because of this, the conclusions Zimbardo drew himself are very different from when you conclude that
        Zimbardo was behind the whole ordeal pulling the strings.
        One only needed to stand up against one person, not a crowd.
