The survey showed that the psychiatrists thought the "teacher" would stop once the "learner" indicated pain. This is in contrast to what actually happened in the experiment, where many participants continued to administer shocks despite the learner's protests. Therefore, the psychiatrists did not correctly predict the results, and options A, B, and D are incorrect.
