Recent research found the cruelty of Zimbardo’s prison guards didn’t emerge spontaneously; some behaviour was encouraged. Some of the “prisoners” later admitted that they were pretending to be distressed. Similarly, a study published in 2007 found that the 1964 incident that inspired the theory of the bystander effect was distorted. According to the paper, archive material shows far fewer people witnessed the incident than was reported at the time, and some people could only hear screams, without seeing the location of the incident. At least one person did try to intervene. Recent research indicates that bystanders are much more likely to intervene than the theory suggests. A 2019 study of 219 violent situations from cities around the world caught on CCTV showed that bystanders – not just one, usually several – intervened to help victims 90% of the time. The study also found that the more people were present, the more likely passers-by were to intervene. In the words of the study’s lead researcher, Richard Philpot: “It shows that people have a natural inclination to help when they see someone in need.” The burgeoning field of “heroism studies” also questions the bystander effect. In a recent article for The Conversation, I described how acts of heroic altruism are common during terrorist attacks, when people often risk their own lives to help others. Consider the following situation: you’re standing on a train platform. The person next to you suddenly faints and falls on to the track, unconscious. In the distance, you can see a train approaching. What would you do? You might doubt whether you would act heroically. But don’t underestimate yourself. There is a strong possibility that, before you knew it, you would find yourself on down on the track, helping the person to safety. There is a growing awareness amongst researchers that heroism is natural and spontaneous, and by no means exceptional.

An opinion widely held is not evidence of truth.
To add to my little athenaeum, "The Lucifer Effect Understanding How Good People Turn Evil" by Philip Zimbardo published 2007. Experimental psychology. This book focuses on how environmental factors influence individuals to behave immorally, rather than their inherent personal traits.
Being a psychology buff, I myself have turned to the use of psychological manipulation which refers to control tactics that we may use to influence a person's thinkings, emotions, or behaviors. Typically this is done for the manipulators benefit, often done to just prove a point, sometimes done for the sake of chaos (f**k you if you do this)
Despite what you might feel ethically, or your emotional opinions of psychological manipulation it's not something you can escape. You yourself do it, and are being manipulated everyday. You would be bored if you weren't.

i was put on this earth to do ethically ambiguous psychology experiments which people will debate about in the future decades because despite the concerning amounts of stress and harm caused, it garnered extremely useful results.

That means when you read about the SPE or the many studies in this next section, you might well conclude that you would not do what the majority has done, that you would, of course, be the exception to the rule. That statistically unreasonable belief (since most of us share it) makes you even more vulnerable to situational forces precisely because you underestimate their power as you overestimate yours. You are convince you would be the good guard, the defiant prisoner, the resistor, the dissident, the nonconformist, and, most of all, the Hero. Would that it were so, but heroes are a rare breed.
The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil, Philip G. Zimbardo

no one tells you that being a psych student means you just randomly hate (passionately) 3-4 old white dudes for perfectly valid reasons that you just can't articulate for fear of being looked at as crazy

Heroes are those who can somehow resist the power of the situation and act out of noble motives, or behave in ways that do not demean others when they easily can.
— Dr Philip Zimbardo, architect of the Stanford Prison Experiment
