Question

Why didn't the "good" guards in the stanford prison experiment object to other guards' abusive behavior?

Answer 1

This is because the "good guards" were fulfilling their social role and considered that they should leave the power of the situation to the other guards. They also considered that the prisoners could withstand the abuses due to their physical condition and that it was right that they should endure the punishments when they did not comply with the norms.
