QUESTION 20 Carnahan and McFarland (2007) ran an ad to find volunteers for a "psychological study of prison life," just as Zimbardo and his colleagues had done years earlier to find volunteers for the Stanford Prison Experiment.

It suggests that the behavior of the subjects in the Stanford Prison Experiment can in part be understood in terms of their pre- existing personality characteristics. O B. It shows that as the prison system has changed, so too have people's attitudes toward prisons. OC.It suggests that people in the Stanford Prison Experiment probably had high levels of psychopathology (that is, mental illness). OD. It provided no support for an interpretation of the Stanford Prison Experiment in terms of "interactionism."
