Briefly describe Stanley Milgram’s Obedience to Authority study.
What will be an ideal response?
Milgram wanted to discover how “normal” people come to commit monstrous acts. Volunteers were recruited and paid to act as “teachers” while fake subjects acted as “learners.” The teachers were deceived into believing that each time they threw a lever on a shock apparatus, they were administering higher levels of shock to the pupils. The teachers were willing to administer what they believed were painful shocks despite cries to sstop from the subjects, when assured by the presence of scientific authorities.
