You should read about the Milgram Experiments. And the Stanford Prison Experiment.
For what it's worth the Stanford Prison Experiment was basically a lie. More than merely suffering from psychology's massive replication crisis (which is enough of a problem on its own), the study was heavily manipulated by those conducting it in order to get the outcome they wanted. Its outcomes really shouldn't be pointed to as evidence of anything.
As far as I know Milgram is still good and successfully reproducible, however.
