Question

Ethical concerns have been raised about Stanley Milgram's obedience research. Specifically, some have suggested that the project caused too much distress in the participants, distress that could not be justified. If you were asked your opinion of this issue, which of the following would be a legitimate response?

a.

Milgram conducted a follow-up survey of his participants, and most of them indicated that they were very angry at having been deceived. This means that the research was likely unethical.

  b.

Milgram s participants were paid for their participation, so there is no legitimacy to the statement that the research was unethical.

  c.

Milgram s research was certainly unethical, because he conducted it even though he was advised not to do so by his University s Institutional Review Board (IRB).

  d.

The majority of participants reported that they were pleased to have participated in the research, so it does not seem to have been damaging to most of those who were involved.
