How might the Stanford prison experiment have shown in-group bias, out-group homogeneity, and out-group derogation? Describe what each is, and then give an example from the experiment.

The Stanford prison experiment might have shown in group bias because the cellmates were working together against the guards, It might have shown in out group homogeneity because prison can turn you inside out faster than a cheetah chasing a lion, and it might have shown in out-group derogation because the guards treated the cellmates badly even though it was an experiment.
