An opinion widely held is not evidence of truth.
To add to my little athenaeum, "The Lucifer Effect Understanding How Good People Turn Evil" by Philip Zimbardo published 2007. Experimental psychology. This book focuses on how environmental factors influence individuals to behave immorally, rather than their inherent personal traits.
Being a psychology buff, I myself have turned to the use of psychological manipulation which refers to control tactics that we may use to influence a person's thinkings, emotions, or behaviors. Typically this is done for the manipulators benefit, for persuasion, even personal growth, often done to just prove a point, sometimes done for the sake of chaos (f**k you if you do this)
