If you are doing psychology at all you will probably have heard of this guy. He studied evil by randomly assigning the role of a prisoner, or a prison guard to some college boys and seeing how their personalities changed- if it is situation that makes you evil or if some people are just bad eggs. If you wanna know more, just search on youtube, however this is a talk he gave (for TED talks) about his ideas and about his study.
It is quite nice to actually see someone you are studying explain their views, makes the subject more real I think.
