Obedience is the social psychological phenomenon that Stanley Milgram examined in a famous series of studies?Milgram got interested in studying obedience at the end of WWII The trials of Nuremberg.. theseindividuals had perpetrated crimes against humanity (Nazis). “I was ‘just’ following orders.” The baic procedure of the Milgram experiment that we described in class is as follows: The learner is the subject. The true subject is to assist the experimenter. Learner in chair and electric shock passes through the electrodes. Assistant feels shocks and electrodes are attached to the learner. The researcher tells him to shock the subject every time they are wrong. How long wkl the assistant shock the subject before they do not listen to authority. Psychiatrists predicted Milgram would find? 1/10 of 1 % of people would go all the way to the end. They were wrong. He discovered the of everyone was willing to go to the very end. Milgram’s study explored ⅔types of metapersonal variables that cause a person. culture and society. Phillip Zimbardo tried to examine the effect of roles on behavior in a study that he was not able to complete. Psychologists define the concept “roles” as position in group with rules defining behavior can and cannot be displayed. Zimbardo’s procedure measured the effect of roles associated with being a prisoner and a guard. A moc prison with guards and prisoners. What began to happen to the research participants after Zimbardo’s study began was that overtime the guards became less sensitive while prisoners would become anxious, depressed, ready to leave. The study was supposed to last for 2 weeks, but they quit after 6 days because the rules that they were forced to comply with could not be justified in terms of research People must realize that it is easy to fall under authority even when it is not rational.
