SUMMARY OF MILGRAM ARTICLE The Milgram (1963) article is about an experiment that was conducted on the Yale University campus on obedience. A newspaper ad and mailers were sent out to advertise for participants for an experiment that offered 4.50 just to show up and brought in 40 participants ranging in age‚ education level and occupation. The participants were told that the study had to do with memory and that one participant would be the learner and the other would be the teacher. The teacher

People sometimes act in ways they know to be wrong or unethical because they see people of a higher authority do it. For example‚ In Milgram’s obedience experiment‚ test subjects who were referred to as the “teacher‚” were told to give an electric shock to a complete stranger who was referred to as the “student‚” if they got an answer wrong on a test. The test subject was told the shock would get increasingly more dangerous each time the student got the answer wrong. When the teacher wanted to stop

One of the event that changed the way people were treated in prisons for the last 25-30 years was the stanford prison experiment.

This can be related to social experiments such as the “Stanford Prison Experiment”. This experiment was conducted by the University of Stanford in 1973.

dangerous‚ period. What is even more frightening is when someone hurts themselves or others due to an authority figure’s direct influence on them. In the infamous psychologist‚ Stanley Milgram’s‚ experiment‚ people were told to administer shock to a peer for not answering a question correctly. This experiment shows the dangers of obeying authority. Though the “peers” were acting‚ the subjects fully believed they were truly administering shock to another human being. This shows that the line between

People of different places and eras have conducted experiments and surveys trying to prove both sides. Some experiments have made the news and showed us just how mad people can become‚ others are now used to tap into our minds and get our attention.

how and why ordinary people do unusual things‚ things that seem alien to their natures. Why do good people sometimes act evil? Why do smart people sometimes do dumb or irrational things?” And this is exactly what he tested in his Stanford Prison experiment. Philip Zimbardo was born on March 23 in 1933 in New York City. Being raised in the South Bronx‚ he was the first person to attend college in his family. After enrolling in Brooklyn College‚ that’s where he earned his bachelors degree in 1954

conformity. There are a lot of people who will conform to anything no matter what it is just to fit in. Asch created this experiment to actually see how much people are pressured to conform no matter how obvious it is. Conformity is “the tendency for people to adopt the behavior and opinions presented by other group members” (Zimbardo‚ 571). Solomon Asch finally conducted the experiment in 1951 on a group of male participants. Asch created two cards‚ the first card had a line that the participants had

Asch attempted to answer the question by conducting a series of experiments. In these experiments‚ the subject was placed in a group‚ the members of which were shown a linesegment‚ they were then asked to identify among three other linesegments one that has the same length as the previous. The answer was indisputably apparent to the naked eye
