Subjects were led to believe by the experiment that they were participating in a learning study. Subjects were requested to train or teach another through the systematic use of electrical shock. In reality, the learner was an actor, who did not actually receive a shock. The “teacher” in this experiment (the actual subject) was instructed to administer an electrical shock whenever the learner responded with an incorrect answer. With each incorrect answer, the teacher was informed that he should increase the intensity of the shock. The electrical shocks were presented on a board to the teacher, starting at 15 volts and rising to 450 volts at 14-volt intervals. Also, there were designations on the shock board indicating slight shock to “danger: severe shock” (Milgram, 1963).
