The Stanford Prison Experiment is up there, too.

That must be the one I'm thinking of.

I suspect such experiments would have had different results if they had used people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. When you're in your 20s your personality and ethical development are practically embryonic compared to where you'll be at 50.

Absolutely correct. The older the subjects, the less likely they are to obey.
