This might be reassuring to people who don't want to believe that anyone
can be influenced by the environment to become sadistic.

On the other hand, it won't be of any comfort who want to believe that
the Stanford Prison Study has nothing to do with what happened at Abu
Graib. After all, if people who volunteer for prison studies score
higher on "aggressiveness, authoritarianism, Machiavellianism,
narcissism, and social dominance and lower on empathy and altruism,"
imagine what people who volunteer for the army are like on these traits.
