This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.  

In 1971, Phillip Zimbardo set up the Stanford Prison Experiment in which 18 young, middle-class white men were randomly allocated to the role of guards and prisioners for the next six days. The experiment was prepared as if it were a play or a film, but te dramatization quickly became believable: the perceived roles were played out as if for real. When the prisoners rebelled, the guards´ perception of the prisoners changed, so that it was no longer only an experiment. The guards saw the prisoners as troublemakers and ´out to get them´. The guards imposed severe penalties on the prisoners. One prisoner broke down after 36 hours and another after 48 hours, despite being ratified as psycologically healthy beforehand; this meant that the experiment had to be cut short. The experiment demonstrated how people were liable to both vivious aggression and self-confirming victimhood.

Most prisoners believed that the subjects selected to be guards were chosen because they were bigger than those who were made prisoners, but actually, there was no difference in the average height of the two groups.

What do you think caused this misperception?

Answer: I think the misperception about the guars is part of the process of self-confirming victimhood and the effect of the poor treatment the perceived prisoners got during the experiment.

Explanation:

Having people dressing as guards may have already provided them with an aura of power, related to the image we have collectively of policemen and guards being strong and big. Furthermore, considering the psychological consequences of the violent manner those guards behaved, it´s no surprise that the prisoners begun to see them as powerful, and accordingly "bigger".

Assume labor and capital are the only two inputs. Digitopolis is a capital-abundant country that produces personal computers and
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Following the Ricardian Model of Comparative Advantage, <u>both Digitopolis and the labor-abundant country will specialize at producing  what each does best, according to its factors endowment.</u>

This means that <u>Digitopolis will shift its production to computers</u> as it is a capital intensive activity and <u>its opportunity cost </u>for computers production is lower,<u> while the second country, being labor-abundant, will specialize on producing fax machines.</u>

Explanation:

The Ricardian Model of Comparative Advantage assumes that countries benefit from international trade as they will specialize in producing goods where they hold comparative advantage, that is, where their opportunity cost is lower. The opportunity cost describes the trade-off between choosing to produce one good or the other based on inputs availability and efficiency. In this case, capital is abundant in Digitopolis, so it is evident that the opportunity cost of shifting output to a capital-intensive industry (computers) will be less than producing labor-intensive goods (fax machines).

Being a capital-abundant country, for Digitopolis the opportunity cost of producing fax machines is higher than for producing computers, so it is less efficient for this country to focus on producing fax machines. <u>Thus, it will be more productive that it specializes on producing computers. </u>

On the other hand, considering that the second country is labor-abundant, it is better that it specializes on producing fax machines, as its opportunity cost here is lower.

Finally, <u>both countries will benefit from trade</u>, as overall production of computers and fax machines will increase. Digitopolis will produce much more computers and the second country more fax machines than in the pre-trade situation, because both countries will be employing their inputs more efficiently and productivity will increase.

A problem-focused approach is when someone tackles the problem at its head instead of shying away from it they look for solutions to that problem or a way to recover from it.
