wrong led me to an article about an interesting experiment: The Milgram experiment. This experiment‚ developed and run by Stanley Milgram‚ took place at Yale University in 1961. Milgram’s experiment consisted of having volunteers from a diverse range of backgrounds and occupations individually brought into a room and sat at a table with an array of levers.

Enron: Tone at the Top The fall of Enron is not just one of the largest bankruptcies in U.S. history‚ but in my opinion‚ a landmark case study of the lack of business ethics in an organization. Enron’s downfall‚ along with the demise of Arthur Andersen‚ one of the largest public accounting firms at the time‚ brought about a swift change in U.S. regulations governing how publicly traded companies reported their financials. While the top brass at Enron pled ignorance to the fact that they had no control

Stanley Milgram was interested in how quickly and easily ordinary people could be influenced into harming or mudering inncent people.

The experiment found that two-thirds of the people continued to the highest level of 450 volts (Mcleod‚ “Milgram”). The rest of the people still obeyed the orders of the authority‚ just to a lesser level. Apparent from the Stanley-Milgram Experiment‚ “People tend to obey orders from other people if they recognize their authority as morally right and/or legally based. This response to legitimate authority is learned in a variety of situations‚ for example in the family‚ school‚ and workplace” (Mcleod

The study needs to be scientifically valid‚ however the rights of the participant need to be met. Deception is an ethical issue that arises in many studies as participants tend to be deceived in order to obtain more scientifically valid results. Milgram is a great example of this as he used deception more than once to get his results. Participants were told the study was based on memory and that the colleague was a participant. As well as this‚ they believed that the person was receiving an electric

Het grote nadeel is de meerduidigheid van de resultaten. Wetend dat twee variabelen tegelijk veranderen stelt ons in staat de ander te voorspellen als we de ene weten; maar correlatie specificeert niet oorzaak en gevolg. Experimental research
