I think it absolutely is relevant. Our society is obsessed with the concept of self-actualization, and self-expression in the midst of an electronically connected populace. The average person has more of a 'voice' than they ever had before (at least proportional to population). I don't think that anything has changed in society that would change the results of the experiments, but the narrative of the modern society is definitely about humans "growing up and developing".
