The Milgram Experiment.
The Milgram experiment was first carried out in 1963. Stanley Milgram was interested to find out how obedient American people were to authority. A newspaper advert was placed to recruit people to take part in an experiment at Yale University. ... The teacher had to continue up till 450 volts or until they themselves refused to carry on with the experiment. ...
The Milgram experiment was a test of obedience to authority. At the beginning of the experiment, it was thought that only a small number of people would administer the highest level of shocks-450 volts, but in fact 65% did. This surprised Milgram as he didn’t think people would be this obedient. ...
When the teachers were encouraged using urges such as “The experiment requires that you continue” and “It is essential that you continue”, the majority did so even though they did not want. ... The teachers in Milgram’s studies were very anxious when they heard the screams of the learners as they did not know that they were pre-recorded.
