Or a non-sociopath who just really hates whatever the cuddly creature is for whatever reason. But, both of those are unlikely cases)
It's essentially a variation of the Milgram Experiment. Normal people, while they might eventually go through with the action if you prod them enough and seem to be somebody in authority, show signs of distress. They're going against social conventions for a small but not insignificant monetary reward.
Actually, now that I think about it, here's a far more effective way of determining if somebody is a sociopath:
Bring them into a room with a cute, cuddly creature, give them a hammer, and say that you'll give the person in question $50 to smash the cuddly creature's head in. A sociopath wouldn't hesitate - they're getting money and they aren't getting blamed (after all, _you_ told them to kill the creature).
(Of course, they could be a sociopath who just really likes animals.
Another way to spot the sociopath is to put a bug in a folded piece of paper and squash it. Unfold the paper and show it to the subject. If he can tell you what kind of bug it was before you smashed it then he is a sociopath.
The movie is creepy itself. Certainly not the feel good hit of the decade but brilliant nonetheless.
KVSwim. Most of the time the people are psychologically imbalanced to begin with. The scene wasnt used to Brain Wash him as such but to detect his responsiveness to stimuli. To gauge whether or not he could be an assassin.
I dunno if I'd call it beautiful and touching similar to a lot of the cut shots of the era I found it grim and forbidding. The brainwashing sequence was brilliant in A clockwork Orange but this one has its own kinda subplot and use of juxtaposition.
a great sequence in an equally great film - very powerful/emotive/patriotic/sin ister etc - breaks the action up very well & takes you to another dimension in the plot
In real life, they probably would, though it would probably be noticeably different. Sociopaths want things like sex and money and status and all the other stuff that people in society usually want. A sociopath is simply someone who has no problem ignoring social conventions and thus can lie, cheat, or steal as easily as they could walk or talk. If a sociopath saw a compelling reason to kill their mother, they would.

A sociopath would have no problem.
