The Stanford prison experiment was similar to the Milgram experiment because both of the experiments focused on the responses of people when there are underneath authority.

Indecisive disobedience occurs when the individuals in the experiment try to disobey in different ways‚ but they were ineffective at it.

Milgram’s Response Obedience to Authority and the obedience experiments that produced Stanley Milgram’s famous book have produced almost equal amounts of surprise‚ curiosity and criticism. The criticism of social psychologist John Darley and playwright Dannie Abse are each representative of the general criticism Milgram has received; Darley focuses on whether the study has any relevance to real world events (such as the Holocaust)‚ and Abse focuses on justification of the experiment‚ i.e. was the study
