The Milgram experiment on obedience to power figures was an arrangement of social brain research experiments directed by Yale University analyst Stanley Milgram. They measured the ability of study members to comply with a power figure who trained them to perform acts clashing with their individual heart. Milgram initially portrayed his examination in 1963 in an article distributed in the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology and later talked about his discoveries in more noteworthy…

People are usually obedient to people with power or above them, therefore, in this experiment an administrator would tell the test subjects to shock the victim, who was obviously, an actor/someone in on the experiment. In this article the author, Stanley Milgram elaborates and describes the experiment. Like any other article out there, there are weakness along with strengths. The author, Milgram, gave some background information on obedience and explain obedience can make people do positive…

memory improvement (Busscher, 2012). Forty men were selected for the job (McLeod, 2007). They were paid $4.50 an hour for their efforts. At the time, $4.50 could buy a person 14 loaves of bread or 22 beers (Obedience to Authority the Experiments by Stanley Milgram, n.d.). The subjects ages ranged anywhere between 20 to 50 years old. The level of education varied from unskilled to the professional level. He chooses these men specifically because they resembled the men who helped Hitler through…

Introduction In 1963, there was one of the most ethically controversial experiments ever conducted. The reasoning behind it? The actions of Nazi Soldiers during World War 2. At its helm was Stanley Milgram, a Harvard Graduate, who had the intelligence and foresight to create an experiment that would, with minimal bias, put to the test the compliance of human nature. His experiment would prove the true “nature of obedience.” (Milgram, Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View, 1974) Milgram…

Jerry M. Burger is a Psychology professor for Santa Clara University. Burger replicated Stanley Milgram’s obedience studies from the 1960’s and 1970s. In Milgram’s study, Milgram wanted to test “the conflict between obedience to authority and personal conscience” (Saul McLeod, 2007). He conducted this experiment by having an authority figure, a “learner”, and 40 participants who went through the experiment at different times. The participant was supposed to ask the learner a series of questions…

possibilities pertaining to the situation and conditions these solders were withstanding. Szegedy-Maszak then delves into psychologist Herbert Kelman's three necessary traits to convict torture: authorization, routinization, and dehumanization (Maszak 76). Stanley Milgram has tested such theories in his 1963 experiment on obedience, which he reported in his article The Perils of Obedience. Milgram divulges the "dilemmas" of obedience to authority in his experiment by using; an experimenter -…

both seemed to marry for love, the men they ended up marrying did not assist them or result in a mutually beneficial relationship, but instead both men shaped the lives of their wives to their own ways of living. Stella can “hardly stand it when [Stanley] is away for a night”, implying a form of sexual dependence on Stella’s part on her husband, who represents the typically masculine, if so masculine it treads into the animalistic. This dependence of Stella on the aggressive sexuality of her…

The way that Stanley Milgram went about his experiment was 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,…

Intergenerational trauma is a term that is used to describe traumatic events that have impacted a cultural group in one generation, which can have lasting psychological, economical, or cultural effects on future generations. Although it can exist in serious and unfortunate occurrences like residential schools, intergenerational trauma can also be light-hearted, riveting and fun in relation to sport rivalries. Sport fans are well aware that not all games are created equal and that some games are…
