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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
