What is the procedure?

Participants gave fake electric shocks to a 'learner' in obedience to instructions from an 'experimenter'

What were the findings?

- 65% have highest shock of 450V


- 100% gave shocks of 300V


- Many showed signs of anxiety

Why is there low internal validity?

- Participants realised shocks were fake


- But replication with real shocks get similar results

Why is there good external validity?

Findings generalise other situations such as hospital wards

How does this support replication?

- Game of death found 80% gave maximum shock
