Electric shock

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…

20 and 50 who were from the New Haven area II. Apparatus and materials: Stanley Milgram used a machine( shock generator) to test his theories on obedience, the machine in ascending order had a row of buttons marked to the voltage 1 person would inflict upon another person.The shock generator went from 15 volts to 450 volts and a…

Milgram (1974) used this perspective to explain the behaviour expelled by the participants when continuing to administer increasingly severe shocks, even after the ‘learners’ protesting and once the experimenter had exclaimed that they would take responsibility, allowing the ‘teacher’ to take an agentic shift from autonomy (Reicher & Haslam, 2012). Nissani (1990), suggests that the human cognitive system is not fully reliable to recognise potentially malevolent authority despite them being…

they are regarded merely as lab specimens, they are easily neglected and disrespected. In addition, scientists have no qualms about inflicting pain on these innocent creatures. For instance, many of these animals like dogs are use in experiments involving electric shocks to test for medication products. In the article “Beagles Were mutilated to test Viagra,” Chris Dignan reported, “The sex organs of live beagles were mutilated in experiments conducted in the laboratories of Pfizer, the drug's…

areas and walkways free of clutter and debris. Move methodically, slowly, and deliberately in the lab. Be aware of your surroundings and those around you. Electrical Shock The lab equipment is periodically inspected to make sure it is in good working order. Equipment is examined for frayed power cords or failing strain relief. However, electric shocks occur in labs. Often, they are minor and the person feels a tingle and breaks contact. Sometimes, the electrical current causes the muscles…

true nature of the study was to see how far the test subjects would go when obeying instruction that harmed another person. Participants were grouped together in twos to find out who would be the ‘learner’ and who would be the ‘teacher’. Unbeknown to the participants the draw was fixed so that the participant was always the ‘teacher’ and the ‘leaner’ was one of Milgram’s associates. The ‘learner’ was set up in a room and had electrodes attached to their arm. The ‘teacher’ and researcher went…

experiment where there is a teacher and leaner. The teacher, the actual subject, shocks the learner for every wrong answer. The volts of electricity start at 15 increasing to 450. Kelman and Hamilton wrote "My Lai Massacre" which recounts the trial and thoughts of Lieutenant Calley, the only officer to go on trial for the My Lai Massacre.They also analyze the three points of social processes . Milgram along with Kelman and Hamilton will try to decipher why Dawson and Downey obeyed the code red…

harm, failed to test military obedience, and failed to include a charismatic leader it was critical to begin to understand obedience to authority. Milgram’s experiment included a “learner” who was an actor, a “teacher” who was the actual subject of the experiment, and an “authority” who was the experimenter (Milgram 56). There was a variety of male teachers ranging from 20 to 50 years old (Milgram 59). They were all from the same geographic location but held different professions. The teacher…

unethical. It put the teachers in a position to have to harm someone. The teachers could choose the voltage used in the shock chair but it had to be at least 15 volts. It is not morally right to give someone no other choice than to harm someone else. The First Study Milgram was studying how punishing someone can affect their learning. His experiment included a teacher that was a male recruit, a learner who was associated with Milgram, and an authority figure. The learner had to sit in a chair…

The lighter and smaller version would reduce the amount of personnel it would carry. This would help increase stability while preserving survivability. Making it shorter and lighter will help it traverse through different terrain with less risk of rollovers and getting stuck. Modifying the driver training will also help mitigate the driver error on rollovers as well. Mitigating the electrical shock hazard would take extra training and knowledge on what you need to look for. Another way is…
