Stanford prison experiment not really similar with the learner teacher, rather it is adopting a group behaviour, once you enter a group you have a group mind rather than your individual mind.

Low achievers correlation because they tend to spend more time in front of the tv. *physical aggression at home becoming more aggressive themselves: boys more than girls, unpopular children the effect of something else so they watch tv a lot. 3-hour session discriminate fantasy form (use of special effects) children less aggressive even at 1-year follow-up children are less influenced if adult criticizes violent action or suggests nonviolent alternative. 2 or more people casual group formation is 2 or three people (numbers) 1: communication talking to one another and not independently. 3: common goal there for a reason.
