Braverman was interviewed to see what the experiment was about, and how he believed himself to have handled the situation and he said “[w]hat appalled me was that I could possess the capacity for obedience and compliance to a central idea” (Milgram 84) which goes to show that under the influence of obedience one can do the unthinkable to them previously known, before the high pressure situation. During high-pressure situations people are simply just trying to survive or get through the task ahead. The way that people handle pressure as children also reflects how we also handle it as adults. As children we grow up and learn all of our lessons and values, and one thing that really sticks on us is fear.

In many ways this story relates to how we perceive stress and our fight or flight strategies on stressful situations which in this situation which then can be translated into perform or procrastinate. This strategy of performance or procrastination cannot have the luxury as it does for most of us every day, especially in these high-pressure situations. In most high-pressure situations actions are required to be taken, and if that does not happen then the result can be worse than the step that would have been required to take to prevent it.
