sure it feels true... but are we sure that's not just a US or Western thing? is that just a low-level, client-facing role thing? plus it's role-playing a prison, where legit, actually-murdered-a-bunch-of-people are locked up in real life, and they play real games -- and guards play them back. Tell people to roleplay a group of people who are violently anti-social, and another group to role play the people who have to keep them in line (also violently) and the participants fall back on what they think the roles do and how they act. just like with Freud, there may be some slivers of truth, but there is too much untestable, non-transferable bunk that comes with it; you can't call that science.
