Zimbardo question multiple choice

There's been confusion on the first question of the exam but I think that participant observation would be correct

It's because zimbardo acted as a superintendent and interacted with the participants as such while the experiment was talking place. But could be wrong

I’m unsure but I didn’t choose that option because in participant observations doesn’t the researcher actually have to be part of the group observed? So would Zimbardo have to actually be a prisoner or guard? I could be completely wrong and I can’t remember the other options, but that was my take on it.


It was most definitely a participant observation, Zimbardo was the prison ‘superintendent’ in the study
