neen  het spijt me  ik zou niet kunnen meedoen aan zo een experiment, niet fysiek niet mentaal  ik zou het  ook zelf niet aankunnen als iemand het met m ij zou  laten gebeuren  maar ik  ben me wel bewust van situalties als deze  in de werkkring of gezinssituaties  waar macht bovenhand heeft

I had more of a “prisoner” role, but as much as I could I tried to stay out of the “experiment”.

As far as perpetrating physical violence, I have not. There are times when I question my personal integrity in my role as special education teacher. In my heart of hearts there is no iron clad work ethic that seems to be the driving force behind many of the things I am expected to do with my students each day.

Being a parent gives this effect.  It indeed empowers one over another person.  And one has to clearly be fair and its not always easy to be.  Eventually there is a pecking order where the child is simply a child and what the parent says go.  It doesnt always stay this way but it can morph this way rapidly based on any discrepancies of disagreement especially when there is a dominance issue being challenged from one who is maturing.
