That sounds plausible, but I suspect the correlation is very weak. Most people follow rules in a bizarrely idiosyncratic and context-sensitive fashion. For example, taking the escalator when going to the gym to use the stair-master.

Most people don't bat an eye about crossing in the middle of a small street. It's technically against the law, but hey.

You've never tried a petty rebellion as a kid? It's fun. Even as an adult, you can get a thrill by calling in sick and going out.

There's a reason we love to watch crime dramas.
