Haslam, Reicher, and Van Bavel (2019) convincingly argued that experimenters in the Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE) influenced prisoners via identity-based communication. However, Haslam et al. focused on direct mechanisms of identity communication. In our comment, we discuss a less direct-but potentially equally important-communication mechanism by which leaders in the SPE may have influenced followers: integrative complexity. This consideration of integrative complexity not only bolsters the basic point of Haslam et al.'s article also provides new avenues for understanding the mechanisms by which leader identity processes work in cases like the SPE.

哈斯拉姆、赖歇尔和范巴维尔（2019）令人信服地认为，斯坦福监狱实验（SPE）中的实验者通过基于身份的交流影响了囚犯。然而，哈斯拉姆等人关注的是身份交流的直接机制。在我们的评论中，我们讨论了一种不那么直接但可能同样重要的交流机制，通过这种机制，SPE 中的领导者可能影响了追随者：综合复杂性。对综合复杂性的考虑不仅支持了哈斯拉姆等人文章的基本观点，也为理解类似 SPE 案例中领导身份过程的工作机制提供了新的途径。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
