What was the conclusion reached by Stanley Milgram in his teacher learner experiment?

Under orders, decent human beings will do anything. This experiment shows that people will obey authority figure even when there is no pre-existing relationship between the individual and the person of authority.


What was the motivation behind Stanley Milgram?

Stanley Milgram wanted to observe the influence of obedience on people. First off, obedience is changing one's behavior in response to an authority figure. An authority figure is someone who has social influence and power, such as a teacher or work manager. Milgram was curious to see how far people would go in obeying the authorities and what factors influenced obedience upon them. The incidences with Nazi Germany sparked the study of obedience among many researchers and especially Stanley Milgram. During the Nazi area, the Nazi soldiers committed many cruel acts, such as gassing the Jews and executing innocent lives. Were these soldiers naturally cruel and heartless or were they simply following orders? Milgram set out to discover the answers to these questions. This set the stage for one of the most famous experiments in psychology. In the experiment, he assigned participants two main roles, one administering electrical shocks (the "teacher") and another was given a simple memory test (the "learner"). If the learner received a wrong answer, he would be given a shock by the teacher instructed to do so by Milgram himself. The more the learner got wrong, the more powerful the shock each time. In the end, in the presence of an authority figure, Stanley Milgram, 65% of the teachers would go all the way to the highest volt shock. This shows how much influence the presence of a higher authority can have on people.


What did Milgram really want to measure?

Milgram claimed that he wanted to measure the effects of punishment on learning. In actual fact, the "learner" participant was a stooge, and the person being studied was the "teacher." He was measuring how compliant the average person is with inappropriate and dangerous orders coming from an authority figure. This was operationalised by how many volts the people were willing to shock the stooge with.
