why was obedience studyted
the events of WW2
what was the aim of milgram experment
to find if peopel would obey to an authority figure even when told to harm another person (shock another person)
what was the method
controlled observation
what was the sampling technique
self voluted
what was told to the p's what the experment was on
memory
how much did the p's get paid for the experment
$4
what was the basic procedure
1. p's are given the role of teacher.
2. they have to test the learner on word pairs. if the learner get it worng they get an insteas.
3. the electric shock increases every time they get a pair incorrect.
4. the learner isn't given shocks.
5. when the learner doesn't want to continue with the experiment the expermenter givess prods.
procedure
1. the p's showed up and instroduced to the other p's who was actully a confederate.
2. the p's were told to draw lots to see who would be the teacher and learner this was rigged so the p's could always be the teacher.
3. the learner wass taken to a lab and strapped into an electric chair to prevent excessive movement.
4. the p's received a sample shock of 45v to demostrate authenticity of the shock generator.
what was the sample shock
45 volts
what were the prods used by the expermenter
"please continue, please go on"
"the experiment requires that you continue"
"it is absolutely essential that you continue"
"you have no other choice, you must go on"
" although the shocks might be painful there is no permanent tissue damage"
"whether the learner likes it or not, you must go on until he has learned all the word pairs correctly. so please go on"
what is a defiant p's
someone who stopped prior 450 volts
what is a obedient participant
someone who went up to 450 volts
how many people were thought to go up to 450 volts in the prior to the milgrm study
3/100
