The Milgram Experiment


by Joan Seth

The Milgram experiment on obedience to authority figures was a series of social psychology experiments conducted by Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram, which measured the willingness of study participants to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts that conflicted with their personal conscience.

The experiment consisted of 3 participants, they were designated the Learner, the Experimenter and the Teacher. In reality, the Teacher and Learner were all part of the whole experiment. The Learner is in fact a trained actor.

The Teacher will instruct the Experimenter, who is the subject to be tested, to ask the Learner a series of questions. For each wrong answer, the Teacher will order the Experimenter to press a switch, which will "administer" electric shocks to the Learner. The subject believes that the Learner was receiving actual electric shocks, though in reality there were no such punishments.

Being separated from the subject, a tape recorder integrated with the electro-shock generator, which played pre-recorded sounds for each shock level was set up. This set up, together with the Learner's acting skills, convinces the Experimenter that he is receiving very painful electric shocks.

As the number of questions increased, the intensity of the shocks increased too. After a few questions, the Experimenter will usually ask to stop the experiment or to check on the well-being of the Learner and question the integrity and necessity of the experiments. However, the Teacher will always assure the Experimenter that they will not be held responsible for anything and ask them to continue. The Experimenter will thus continue the experiment.

Soon after, the Experimenters will began to laugh nervously or exhibit other signs of extreme stress once they heard the screams of pain coming from the Learner. At this point, if they desired to end the experiment, the Teacher will give a succession of verbal prods by the experimenter, in this order:

1) Please continue.
2) The experiment requires that you continue.
3) It is absolutely essential that you continue.
4) You have no other choice, you must go on.

If the subject still wished to stop after all four successive verbal prods, the experiment was halted. Otherwise, it was halted after the subject had given the maximum 450-volt shock three times in succession.

In Milgram's first set of experiments, 65 percent (26 of 40) of experiment participants administered the experiment's final massive 450-volt shock, though many were very uncomfortable doing so; at some point, every participant paused and questioned the experiment, some said they would refund the money they were paid for participating in the experiment.

The effect of this experiment was to examine how far people will go to carry out an order, even though the order will result in the torture of another person. This also shows how people will view him or herself as the instrument for carrying out another person's wishes, and therefore no longer sees him or herself as responsible for his or her actions.

  1. Instead, they eavesdropped on discussion threads and private messages,
    and tracked genuine thieves through their IP addresses after they
    logged on. Just use the "Edit" tab, you can complete the new user name
    and password. Remember that you need to have a local line
    to benefit from the prepaid phone card. Local loop is different in each country.
    So, you should see your card back label and choose which of these numbers should be in your area.

    One should really consider other options to get to find out who is
    on his / her individual use of the best cell phone service.
    Pre-payment of services to be more favorable for less money
    on average, people usually use. Consumers who have the Net10 prepaid cell phone service, choose this one because it is more satisfaction in accordance
    with their requirements and they do not have the extra fees for additional services that are not going
    to be used by them. Prepaid phone cards Internet connection is usually used when you are not a regular internet
    user. Since the line is much slower than using internet lines, these cards are
    often used for those who often can not access the Internet.
    These cards are also handy when you have a laptop and when you travel to another location.

  3. Some of these include avoiding missing out opportunities, easing of lives of business owners,
    addition of a personal touch towards the customers, money saving.
    Once a system has been installed to receive calls from the
    customers and help them out in every possible way, find
    solutions to all their problems and answers to all
    their questions and queries, no call would ever be missed out.
    When calls are not missed, there is no chance left to let the customer satisfaction
    go off or a sale made, in case someone calls in to place an order.
    If a team is set up to receive the calls, the life of the business
    owners would be at ease. Where the team would handle phone calls and do the job for them 24/7, business owners would find time to concentrate on
    the more important issues and core problems to solve.
    With both the kind of tasks being done side by side, this
    would take the business higher and higher. Here are

    Bloomberg News reports that the Dear Leader is hoping the games will attract
    foreign investment, and build a more technologically skilled
    workforce. He made clear his strong desire to unload the Russian operation, evidently feeling uneasy
    in Moscow compared with China.

  4. In my house it's a fixturea light in disguise. Due to Michael Jackson's fame and mysterious lifestyle, there have been a large number of
    requests to declassify the information that the FBI has on him.

    The FBI plans to make the information it has or at least
    the information that it has that they plan to declassify,
    available on its website. http://tinyurl.
    com/amtx2ln This is not meant to be an exhaustive list.
    For example, if you are moving from a Smartphone to a
    Basic phone, you will be removing your unlimited data plan.
    Make sure you tell every representative that you fully intend to keep the data as an unlimited package but you have to activate another cell phone temporarily.
    That way, should you want to move back to a
    Smartphone within the next 60 days, you can easily
    recover your unlimited data package. If you wait
    longer than 60 days, expect your only data options
    for Smartphone's to be those with a limited amount of usage per month for the exact same price or more than you had been paying for unlimited data. Verizon Wireless 4 G LTE with UNLIMITED DATA is the most valuable feature in the cell phone industry. To lose such an awesome benefit due to carelessness would be horrible.
