The Stanley Milgram Experiment is where the scientist’s actors fake conducting a first experiment to hypothesize if learning is better through pain. The people were chosen based off of how they acted in a simulation in a store. At the beginning of the experiment, the actor and chosen person are given slits of paper that are “random” to show who is the teacher and who the student is. The actor always gets student so that the participant can be the teacher. As the process is set up, the teachers are
The Stanley Milgram Experiment was where there’s a “scientist” in the same room as you with other test subjects. One person acts as a teacher, who reads you a series of questions. If you get a question wrong, you will get shocked. The generator goes all the way up until 450 volts, which is potentially a deadly level. But, just because the scientist tells you to, you’re supposed to keep going. Even though the people are clearly in pain, because you can hear them screaming, you’re have to continue
After watching The Stanley Milgram experiment, I learned that some people do horrible things just because they are under an authority. The first man in the video stops in the middle because he hears the man yelling in pain because of the shocks. Even when the scientist tells him to proceed, the man refuses and quits the experiment. There were three other people in the video that administered all 450 volts to the subjects just because the scientist was telling them there would be no harm inflicted
The Stanley Milgram experiment was a remix of the classic experiment that began in the 1960s. People believed they were causing someone else a lot of pain in order to follow directions given by a “scientist”. The person being “shocked” would scream and beg to be let out but the scientist told the “teacher” to continue. Most people questioned the safety of the other person but very few people actually stopped. Psychologist predicted around half the people would stop before the experiment was over;
The Stanley Milgram experiment uses a scientist to tell people to shock another person if they answer a question wrong. The experiment is to see how far it is that people would actually go before stopping. Before they start the experiment they expose the people to a small shock and explain that it is a very low amount of electricity even though it is painful. Very few people actually stop before any damage could be done. Some even got to a lethal amount of electricity and keep going. This video was
The Stanley Milgram Experiment was a test to see how many people would disobey authority when they knew they were hurting another person. One man acted as a scientist, who the participant believed to be the authority. The scientist would tell the participant to shock the man in the other room for every question he answered incorrectly. The more he got wrong, the stronger the voltage would be. As the participants pulled the lever to shock the man, they heard series of yelling and screaming. They believed
intentionally inflict pain on another person. Yet a physiologist by the name of Stanley Milgram believed otherwise. He thought that ordinary people could and would inflict pain on another person if they were being told by an authority figure. Milgram called this obedience to authority and performed an experiment to prove he was right. This can also be seen in the Holocaust and in the other variations of Milgram’s experiment. Stanley Milgram was born in 1933 into a family of Jewish immigrants who resided in New
Milgram Experiment The Milgram experiment was to test obedience of authority figures. It was a series of social psychology experiments conducted by Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram. They measured the willingness of study participants to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts conflicting with their personal conscience. Stanley Milgram, a psychologist at Yale University, conducted an experiment focusing on the conflict between obedience to authority and personal conscience
Stanley Milgram was a psychologist at Yale University who conducted an experiment in 1963 focusing on the discord between obedience to authority and personal conscience. He examined arguments for acts of genocide offered by those accused at the World War II, Nuremberg War Criminal trials. Their cover often was based on "obedience" - that they were just following orders from their superiors. Male Volunteers were recruited for a study of "memory and learning". The volunteer was to play role of "teacher"
drawn from Milgram’s experiment and Burger’s “Replicating Milgram” presents a compelling argumentation on the implication and compliance of obedience and personal morality in the presence of a figure with authority. These results are quite significant because of its theoretical and feasible application to explicate the role of obedience in a societal context, and to discuss in such instances on who should be held responsible. Through numerous examples as illustrated in Stanley Milgram’s “The Perils
