The method he used was to administer electric shocks to that person.
The recruitment of volunteers was done through an advert on the newspaper. This advert talked about a "study of memory and learning" that was going to take place at Yale, concealing, of course, the real nature of the experiment. In addition this experiment was remunerated $4.50 for just turning up. The participation was of 40 males, between 20 and 50 years of age and jobs ranged from unskilled to professional.
The Psychologist Stanley Milgram created an electric shock generator with 30 switches. The switch was clearly marked in 15-volt increments, ranging from 15 to 450 volts.
Each level was marked with a different label depends on the type of intensity that was. Starting at moderate (75 to 120 volts) to XXX for the highest levels (435 to 450 volts)
This electric shock generator was actually fake and only produced sound when the switches were pressed.
At the beginning of the experiment they were introduced to each other.
The person who volunteered met an "experimenter," the person who ran the experiment and another person who was indicated as another subject. The other subject was actually an accomplice who acted as a
