I am interested in the possible positive side effects of Stockholm Syndrome, and this lifestyle we love.
There is no such thing as Stockholm Syndrome in this lifestyle. Stockholm Syndrome is the result of an abusive, unethical and illegal action. Although I'm very sure we have our share of abusers illegal hostage situations is certainly not WIITWD.
The Ironic part of what makes Stockholm Syndrome work...
"The captive sees the perpetrator as showing some degree of kindness. Kindness serves as the cornerstone of Stockholm syndrome; the condition will not develop unless the captor exhibits it in some form toward the hostage. However, captives often misinterpret a lack of abuse as kindness and may develop feelings of appreciation for this perceived benevolence. If the captor is purely evil and abusive, the hostage will respond with hatred. But, if perpetrators show some kindness, victims will submerge the anger they feel in response to the terror and concentrate on the captors’ “good side” to protect themselves"
The above is quoted from the reference link that sappatoti coughed up for people to read.
Now, in terms of Contrast differences between Stockholm Syndrome and M/s relationships. It's pretty clear that the element of Consent is not involved. People simply did not consent to become captives. However, there are certain aspects on the comparitive side that bear some similarity worth exploring in thought for a moment.
In some cases, some people jump head long or feet first into D/s relationships without taking a lot of time getting to know each other. Much can be debated regarding the actual sanity of said people doing it. However, very much so the dynamics that must get established fairly quickly would be similar in nature to the Stockholm Syndrome.
At one time, I was proposition by a prospective submissive to move in 2.5 seconds flat. Light Speed effect, without me knowing much about her or her knowing much about me. This would have involved in instant power exchange and set up conditions in a manner to which elements of the Stockholm Syndrome would apply per se. While not fully the same, very similar in nature. I opted to decline the offer.
People do some pretty amazing things, that circumvent what is within the Norm of reason or logic at times. People are not always rational creatures that fit nicely as round pegs in round holes. It goes against Dogma's, Social Norms, or even the grain of society and so called norms at times.
In terms of making an ethical or moral judgement upon people, it's best to be objective to the given nature of the specific people involved at times.
Clearly the element of consent verses non-consent is a contrast, however there perhaps is some merit in the comparitives that do not contrast given the framework of things.
