to support the article’s and Zimbardo’s argument regarding the influence of social conditions on behavior
Watson's 1974 experiment explains how the use of war paint and masks makes warriors more violent. Bandura's 1975 experiment showed that people who associated their victims with the term "animals" rather than the term "nice" were more likely to cause harm. Including these experiments helps to vaildate Zimbardo's argument that different conditions can impact even a "good" person's behavior for "evil".
