Stale Milgram’s study, obey at any cost, one of the most studies well known to psychology students, meant to satisfy the objective of how the idea of obedience to authority was projected. Milgram’s research in fact was a jointed research with Zimbardo’s prison study. The research conducted by Milgram was meant to show how individuals can be capable of inflicting harm onto others just because they were asked to do so. The research was in fact referring to all the hideous crimes contributed from the unjust killings and the inhuman people who followed those orders that occurred during the Second World War. As Milgram believed that sometimes people that possess the powerful quality of obedience it distracts the person’s capability …show more content…
Many people did not believe that the maximum shocks would not be delivered as about only 3 % of psychology majors from Yale University predicted that the maximum shocks would be submitted. Many of the participants of course were in stress and weren’t calm and were also furious at the experimenter and also faced extreme discomfort when doing such a task of submitting the shocks but they still obeyed at no cost and delivered the shocks however from the person in authority. When Milgram repeated his experiment he also found similar results. The main founding Milgram came out with was that the amount of obedience is reached is when the physical or the emotional distance of the learner (the one being shocked) from the teacher would influence the level of obedience. Another main conclusion Milgram came up with is that the closer the experimenter was to the teacher, or the participant who delivers the shock, a higher increase of obedience is shown. The main pinpoint learned from this procedure also is that when the participants were allowed to choose the shock they please to punish the learner they wouldn’t submit shocks higher than 45 voltage. Many criticized his experiment that the participant had a connection with the experimenter and also that the setting wasn’t a familiar one and that this type of obedience doesn’t have anything to do with the obedience that is shown in typical regular life and poor treated participants. Therefore, many critics thought Milgram’s research was not justified and an invalid one. However Milgram responded by surveying his participants and proving the fact that over 84% of them were more than happy to contributing to the
