There was both power and a push in the setup of Stanford due to its setup and the closest thing we have to reproducing it (due to...

1st level is a game construct, not part of the world. There is no reason to suppose a 3rd level character was ever 1st. It doesn't...

Look at the Stanford Prison Experiment or the Milgram Experiment. No amount of rules restrictions will make a jerk into a non-jerk, but...
