social roles are powerful determinants of human behavior

Explanation:

• For the Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart: The study focused on identical twins. It found that genetic factors (as identical twins share the same genes) play a significant role in personality. Even when raised apart (so different environmental influences), their personalities are still very similar.
• For the Stanford prison experiment: The experiment showed how people adopt and internalize social roles. Participants assigned as "guards" and "prisoners" started behaving in ways consistent with those roles, demonstrating that social roles can strongly influence behavior.

Answer:

• First question: Identical twins, whether raised together or apart, have very similar personalities.
• Second question: social roles are powerful determinants of human behavior
