Stanley Milgram
Stanley Milgram
Stanley milgram: born august 15th, 1933. Died December 20th 1984 (aged 51)
He was the middle of three children. Milgram attended James Monroe High School in New York City. He was also involved in his schools theatre productions, which later influenced the realistic experiences his subjects underwent in his experiments. Stanley Milgram attended Queens College in New York City. He then applied to Harvard’s department of social relations Ph.D. program, but was rejected on the basis of never having any experience in psychology. He was later accepted when he reapplied, after taking 6 undergraduate courses in psychology. Milgram later was assigned to Asch as a research assistant, and became quite familiar with his conformity experiments. Milgram received his Ph.D. in June of 1960, and became an assistant professor at Yale the following fall. Stanley Milgram received grant support from the National Science Foundation, and went far beyond Asch’s conformity research, and conducted experiments to determine the power of social influence.
Stanleys theory was the study of the obedience to authority. I found an experiment that he constructed which involved 2 participants, a “teacher” and “learner” placed in two separate rooms. The teacher had to teach the learner and then ask them questions, the learner was strapped to a electric shock produced at the other side of the wall, well that is what the teacher thought, he was really an actor. Every in correct answer the learner gave the teacher was told by an experimenter to shock them using a voltage ranging from 15V to 450V. The teacher was instructed to raise the voltage as time passed and when it was getting high, 120V, the actor started asking them to stop, banging his fist against the wall, and when the teacher questioned the experimenter whether to continue he said yes and the experiment would continue until shocks of 450V were given and at this point the actor was screaming in pain, 65% of normal
