Milgram experiment

Almost five decades later, Stanley Milgrams famous study of obedience to authority is by far one of the most known and talked about psychological experiments of the twentieth century. Milgram’s ground-breaking research showed participants a side of them that not only shocked them but also brought the world of psychology to a standstill. Milgram’s renowned study where he asked several participants to administer voltage shocks to ‘learners’ behind a screen was one of the most famous research studies

The Milgram experiment fascinates me on the idea that people are easily willing to obey an authoritative, because they are seen as more powerful. The experimenter asked the teacher whether if there was anything that the learner could have said to make the teacher stop the experiment. The teacher replied nothing, even though he was genuinely concerned for the learner. This experiment proves how an authoritative figure can easily control innocent civilians into doing activity that they would not otherwise

After watching the video today about the Milgram experiment, I was very displeased. The Milgram experiment is a psychological test to see how far some people will go hurting another person they do not know one bit. The “teachers” that were reading the learners the questions had no idea who the person in the other room was and just shocked them because a man in a white lab coat that looks like they had authority over them told them to. The first person that was the one giving the test understood you

are going to talk why this is true and what social phycologist have done to understand this behavior. We will analyze the most famous experiments and see what the results were. We will also see how that behavior still apply in this modern day era. The two experiments that I will focus on is the Milgram Experiment and the Asch Experiment. Both of these experiments will show different ways of how compliance and conformity is shown in action. We will see what each did to reveal what people will do in

Last class we spoke about The Stanley Milgam Experiments, The Stanford Prison Experiments and The Asch Conformity Experiments. We discussed authority and what that does to people in vulnerable or difficult scenarios. This class forced me to question how I’ve been throughout my life during traumatic events and how I’ll act in the future, should these situations arise. In the Milgram experiment there was a 'teacher' assigned and a 'student' assigned. The 'teacher' cannot see their 'student' but

the participants continued to at least 300 volts (McLeod). From the results, Milgram concluded that ordinary people are likely to follow the orders of an authority figure, even to the extent of killing an innocent human being (Velasquez). Milgram was intrigued by the results and wanted to further understand what caused the subjects to obey the “experimenter's” orders. He crafted up numerous ways to change the experiment including changing the location to a less prestigious place, swapping out the

greater good of the group. By looking at “The Milgram/Burger Experiment”, “The Stanford Prison Experiment”, “Group Minds” by Lessing and “The Asch Experiment” we can see all four of them display the power of obedience and examples of group influence on an individual. This is important because it helps us determine how obedient a person is and at what point is it considered dangerous. To start it off, “The Milgram Experiment” and “The Burger Experiment” are both practically the same thing. They include

This specific experiment was necessary. As Lead in of a group of researchers who put together a plan to see it through of course I would've gotten it done. All circumstances would have had to happen just the way it played out for me to end the experiment. Not knowing how it could psychologically destroy the prisoners is what was the downfall of this experiment. Not having the guards initially abide by all rules, regulations and policies led to its termination. Giving the guards room to regulate as

In the Milgram Experiment a group of people were paired up with another person they’ve never met in their entire lives. One of them was going to be the teacher and the other the student. In the experiment the teacher would ask the student a question and if they got it wrong, they would get shock, every time they got a question wrong the bolt of energy of the shock would increase. The experiment consist on seeing if the teacher would keep hurting another person just because a guy in a white lab coat

Discuss the Milgram Conformity Experiment, include ethical considerations, the strengths and weaknesses of the approach. History and Introduction: The Milgram experiment is probably one of the most well-known experiments of the psy-sciences. (De Vos, J. (2009). Stanley Milgram was a psychologist from Yale University. He conducted an experiment focusing on the conflict between obedience to authority and personal conscience. Milgram wanted to investigate whether Germans were particularly obedient to
