Answer 1

First let's understand what is Stanford prison experiment:

Aim: To study the roles people play in prison situations, Zimbardo converted a basement of the Stanford University psychology building into a mock prison asking for volunteers asking people to participate in a study of the psychological effects of prison life.

24 male college students were selected. Participants were randomly assigned to either the role of prisoner or guard in a simulated prison environment.

The guards worked in sets of three (being replaced after an 8-hour shift), and the prisoners were housed three to a room. There was also a solitary confinement cell for prisoners who 'misbehaved.' The prison simulation was kept as “real life” as possible.Prisoners were treated like every other criminal.

The use of ID numbers was a way to make prisoners feel anonymous. Each prisoner had to be called only by his ID number and could only refer to himself and the other prisoners by number.

All guards were dressed in identical uniforms of khaki, and they carried a whistle around their neck and a name tag borrowed from the police. Guards also wore special sunglasses, to make eye contact with prisoners impossible.

Guards were instructed to do whatever they thought was necessary to maintain law and order in the prison and to command the respect of the prisoners. No physical violence was permitted. Zimbardo observed the behavior of the prisoners and guards (as a researcher), and also acted as a prison warden.

On the sixth day the experiment was terminated as the prisoners were abused by the guards.

Conclusion of this research is If you get an authoritarian role to play then you will easily take it up and play it well too. The environment "PRISON" was an important factor in creating the guards’ brutal behavior. Therefore, the findings support the situational explanation of behavior rather than the dispositional one.

Now going to your link: http://phrp.nihtraining.com/codes/07_codes.php

The HHS Regulations – Protection of Human Subjects

the five subparts A to E speak about the following things

part A - research should abide by the federal laws

part B - additional protections for pregnant women, human fetuses and neonates involved in research

part C - additional protections pertaining to biomedical and behavioral research involving prisoners as subjects

part D - additional protections for children involved as subjects in research

Part E - registration of institutional review boards

hence i conclude to say that none of the subparts match or in better terms none of the practices as per the Standford prison experiment are accepted under HHS regulations that is your given article.
