Experiment

describing the results of the experiment. Explain why the rabbits are emaciated in groups 1 and 2. (Please note: What Dr. Trudeau called Experiments 1, 2, and 3 are more like what modern scientists would call treatment groups 1, 2, and 3, and that terminology is used in Figure 1. • Based on Figure 1 survival graph, the rabbit in treatment group 1 which was artificially infected, and placed in a controlled environment is thin. Also, on the third month of the experiment, there is only one…

When I first finished high school, I thought I was finished with English. English was not one of my strongest subjects or well, I thought it was not. Being able to get away with procrastination, I felt like I did not need to worry much about it. I was wrong to do so, and English 104 open my eyes to how much work I really need. Leaving everything to the last minute limited a lot of things, for example the revision of each piece, I did not get that done until maybe Thanksgiving break. I became so…

In the Milgram experiment, shock testing was the objective of the experiment. The controlled variable was an actor pretending that the shocks actually hurt him with shrieks of pain and terror from his vocals. However, it was all a set up to examine what a normal obedient human being reaction is when he or she is responsible for causing someone pain, that he or she did not know. Also, there was a more in-depth reason for the experiment. What govern the experiment to begin with is the desire for…

In 1971 at Stanford University in northern California, one of America’s most prestigious academic institutions, a well known experiment in the history of psychology took place. This was the stanford prison experiment that was ran by Philip Zimbardo. In this experiment Zimbardo was researching what happens when you put good people in an evil place? How do we respond to authority? Also, does the institution influence a person's behavior or does a person's attitude, values, and morality influence…

Data Organization and Collection Subjects that refused to continue the experiment prior to administering the highest level were labeled the ‘defiant’ subject. On the other hand, subjects who obeyed the experimenter and administered the highest shock level were labeled the ‘obedient’ subject (Milgram, 1963). As said earlier, to better organize the information, the dependent variable was numerically defined based on how high of a shock value they were able to deliver to the learner (Milgram,…

The Milgram experiment did outweigh the ethical consequences because the experiment provided us with new and shocking information about how we act and work as a society. The Milgram experiment not unethical because it did not technically break any of the Ethical Guidelines because the teachers were not forced to push the button and no physical harm was done to any of the test subjects in the experiment. It also gave Stanley Milgram eye opening results about why authority and obedience are huge…

have the idea that during WW1 Nazis killed and tortured many Jews freely and even willingly. What Milgram is doing in his experiment is trying to figure out how easily people follow orders, orders that could harm and potentially kill someone. Milgram got participants through a newspaper article, and paying them $450 to complete the experiment (random sampling). The experiment was carried out in a lab at Yale, causing ecological validity to be good, as it 's a very trustworthy institution and…

In 1963, Stanley Milgram, a psychologist at Yale University, conducted an experiment to investigate into how obedient people would be when instructed by an authority figure. He was inspired by the Nuremburg War Criminal trials in Germany after the Holocaust. He wanted to know why so many people followed Hitler’s orders. To gather participants for the study, he placed an ad in a newspaper offering four dollars to be a part of the study. He told the participants that they would randomly be…

The purpose Milgram experiment is to see if people would fall into “conformity” which is someone who follow there personal feeling or “obedience”, someone who follow the authority command when put in a conflict situation. Stanley Milgram conducted the experiment at Yale University by recruiting postal clerks, engineers, high school teachers and laborers to be “teachers” while associate of Milgram served as “learners”; however, the “teachers” have been told that the “learners” are some random…

present. Many recent experiments have been carried out (Slater, Antley, Davison, Swapp, Guger, Barker et al., 2006; Dambrun & Vatine, 2010; Burger, 2009; Zeigler-Hill, Southard, Archer & Donohoe, 2013) in order to research the findings of Milgram’s experiments on obedience further. The examined series of famous and controversial research was implemented by Stanley Milgram in the 1960s at Yale University (Slater et al., 2006). Milgram’s experiments…
