the participants that they would randomly be assigned the position of either ‘learner’ or ‘teacher’. During the experiment, the teacher was taken into a room with an experimenter in a lab coat and an electric shock generator ranging from 15 volts to 450 volts. The teacher was told to ask the learner questions…

The higher the voltage the more the product. For example in the experiment, the amount of mass was increasing after every voltage and that is due higher voltage. Less voltage the anode will not even formed bubbles, no oxygen. Less voltage than 6 volts, the reaction won´t even start. The lesser the voltage, the less the product. The product which is the deposit of copper metal on electrode surface will be…

Obeying an Authority Figure Isn’t Always the Best Decision Why do individuals follow an authority figures’ instructions if it meant possibly harming another person? This situation was tested in the Milgram experiment to get a better understanding of why the Nazi’s followed orders that resulted in killing thousands of Germans during the Holocaust. In most cases, people would not harm another individual, but it’s an authority figure who is giving the commands so it is hard to say “no”. People obey…

the experimenter would assure them that it was okay, remind them to just do as they are told, and say that any blame would be placed on themselves not the teacher. 65% of the individuals who participated in the study used the highest setting (450 volts) to shock the learner. The highest voltage was reached even as the learner screamed and begged them to stop and to be let go. This experiment has been repeated and criticized countless times over the years. In some ways, it can be viewed as an…

Wallace decided to participate in this experiment, the morals behind the loud cries for help should not be inflicted purposely on another individual, much less for a total of forty times. Moreover, the range of the electric shock was from 15 volts to 450 volts, which translates to a slight shock to a severe shock accordingly. If the electric shocks aren 't enough to kill you in the process, the toll it can take on ones body is not only distressing at the time of infliction, but can leave you…

chair to prevent excessive movement. The teacher is told to read a pair of sample words and the learner must recite them without any errors. If a mistake was made the teacher must send electric shock to the learner’s chair that ranges from 15- 450 volts. Each mistake made causes the teacher to increase the shock intensity. The learner was ordered to scream evidently loud so the teacher will have a feeling of uneasiness. Surprisingly, Stanley Milgrams prediction of how all his volunteers would…

once they participants answer a wrong response, they will be hurt by the shock generator. The more answer they get wrong, the higher intensity is of the shock generator. For each wrong answer, the shock level will increase 15 volts in which will reaches the max of 450 volts after 15 wrong responses. It sounds so cruel because they could be hurt really…

Briefly describe two psychological research studies conducted in the past that would not be considered ethical today, and discuss why this would be the case. Psychologists have conducted many psychological research studies throughout history without many limitations. Some studies were deemed immoral or inhumane as researchers went too far with their methods of experimentation. However it could be seen as a positive, as these studies initiated the establishment of our current ethical principles.…

By the end of the experiment the conclusions went as follows: 65% of participants administered the 450 volts even though it was labeled as deadly, and 100% of participants at least administered 300 volts even though it was labeled as dangerous. These conclusions demonstrated that even though the participants were identified as normal people who were not violent they still harmed another person without…

The electric shock experiment on obedience to authority was conducted by Stanley Milgram, a social psychologist at Yale University in the early 1960s. Being a Jewish himself, he was aware of the mass murder performed by those accused at the World War II, Nuremberg War Criminal trials (McLeod, 2007). They claimed that they were simply following orders from their leaders. Milgram was therefore interested in investigating whether German soldiers in the Nazi killings in World War II were…
