Answer:

In the experiment related Stanfornd Prison, the fact that acted as a bias on the outcome of the study was that the researchers had to worry about aspects of sequirity instead of focusing on the research.

Explanation:

The rumor of the escape plot in the Stanford Prison, took a turn in the investigation, as the researches  tried to take the matter in their hands,

This misslead the investigation, which involves observation more than taking part of the incident.
