Milligram`s Study |
inspired by WWII, thought people could be pressured into doing something evil, unethical, wonder if people would harm someone innocent, confederate: learner participant: teacher, if learner answered question wrong they would get electrical shock (not really just what they told teacher), told the teacher to increase voltage every time learner gets question wrong, learner protests, experimenter says "keep going", DV: do people obey or resist authority & IV: recorded protests & groans, experimenter says "keep going" |

Why Did People Obey? |
when experimenter was removed obedience was reduced, 60-65% of people obeyed the experimenter completed, up to shocks of 450 volts, people obeyed to a staggering degree, people were extremely upset but still did it, good people can do bad things, social pressure combined with uncertainty, confirming the wrong norm "obey authority", incremental change make it easier to justify continuing & lack of personal responsibility |
