The Milgram experiment was discontinued as it had a number of ethical issues. The most important one was potential harm to the participants. All participants suffered stress, and one even suffered convulsions. While 84% of participants said afterwards that they were glad to have taken part, that still means 16% were unsatisfied, and the major ethical concerns lead to the experiment not being continued.

How was the milgram experiment done?
In the original experiment (Yale University, scientist and teacher in the same room, pupil separated by screen), about 2/3 of subjects continued to the final 450-Volt electrical shock. Out of those who refused, only one teacher refused to go higher than the 300-Volt level. All 40 teachers turned around and questioned the scientist at some point in the experiment. Later experiments varied the set-up and it's pointless to list them here. For example, when Milgram did the experiment in a rundown back-street office (as opposed to the world-famous Yale University), 1/2 of the teachers were fully obedient. When the scientist gave instructions over the telephone instead, teachers were more likely to stop the experiment (some even pretended to be doing it). Similarly, if the pupil was directly in front of the teacher, he would also be less obedient. All these experiments used men; when Milgram did the same experiment with women they were equally obedient but more visibly stressed. When Milgram added 'obedient' assistants, 90% of teachers continued to the end. When Milgram used 'rebellious' assistants, only 10% of teachers would continue. If there were two scientists in the room disagreeing over whether to continue the experiment, none of the teachers continued towards the end.

What did the milgram experiment show?
Milgram's experiment showed a number of things. The initial experiment involved participants being asked to give apparently harmful and potentially lethal electric shocks to a stooge (who they thought was simply a participant) upon the stooge's incorrect answers. It was estimated by Psychiatrists that most people would drop out early on and refuse to keep on giving shocks, and that nobody would go all the way to 400 volts. In actuality, everyone sent severe and dangerous shocks of 300 volts, and most went all the way. This shows that people are generally willing to obey an authority figure, even when it might lead to harming or even killing another person. Milgram also did a number of variations on his experiment, with it taking place in an old office block, with the experimenter phoning through instructions, with other stooges acting as support, or refusing to continue the experiment, and so on. These variations showed that people are less likely to obey if their victim is closer, if the setting doesn't suggest legitimate authority, if the experimenter is not nearby, or if other participants are refusing to obey. They also showed that someone is much more likely to obey if the participant believes someone else is sending the shocks, not them.
Where did Milgram's Experiment take place?
Milgram's experiment took place at Yale University Psychology dept. This is important as the prestigious setting created the impression that this was a legitimate authority. Milgram later repeated the experiment at a more run down office block. The level of obediance here was lower than at Yale.
Who conducted an experiment on the effects of punishment on learning that was in reality a classic experiment on obedience?
Stanley Milgram conducted an experiment on obedience, not punishment. The study, known as the Milgram experiment, aimed to understand the extent to which individuals would obey authority figures, even to the point of administering potentially harmful electric shocks to others.

When Judith Kleinfeld replicated Milgram's experiment on small world phenomenon what did she conclude?
Judith Kleinfeld concluded that the small world phenomenon is not as strong as originally believed and that interpersonal connections are not as prevalent as suggested by Milgram's study. She found that participants were unlikely to successfully send a message through personal acquaintances in the same way as in Milgram's original study.
What is the Milgram experiment?
The Milgram experiment was a series of social psychology experiments conducted by Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram in the 1960s. The studies measured the willingness of individuals to obey authority figures who instructed them to perform acts conflicting with their personal conscience. The results demonstrated the power of situational factors in influencing behavior.

Stanley Milgram.
What is the dependent variable of Milgram's experiment?
The dependent variable in Milgram's experiment was the level of obedience shown by the participants, measured by the maximum voltage of electric shocks they were willing to administer to another person when instructed by an authority figure.

What is the milgram conclusion?
Stanley Milgram wanted to see if a normal person would follow orders from someone who was wearing a doctors coat even if it meant for that person to do something evil. Using his shock experiment, Milgram found out that 65% of the test subjects went up to 450 watts which is a deadly level. He hypothesized that "the body is built for the words of other men" and that "when killing is called for, murder is commited."-Milgram Stanley Milgram found out that most people will do what they are told to do.
