The learner (a confederate called Mr. Wallace) was taken into a room and had electrodes attached to his arms‚ and the teacher and researcher went into a room next door that contained an electric shock generator and a row of switches marked from 15 volts (Slight Shock) to 375 volts (Danger: Severe Shock) to 450 volts (XXX). Milgram (1963) was interested in researching how far people would go in obeying an instruction if it involved harming another person. Stanley Milgram was

It may be that events‚ as they turn out in the next 10 or 20 years‚ will be common to all the countries; there will be no shocks‚ no economic developments that affect the different parts of the Euro area asymmetrically. In that case‚ they’ll get along fine. On the other hand‚ the more likely possibility is that there will be asymmetric shocks hitting the different countries. That will mean that the only adjustment mechanism they have to meet that with is fiscal and unemployment:

The person in the white lab coat tells the subject to continue to increase the level of shock the other person receives until they reach the level of “Danger Severe Shock.” The subject is listening to the actor scream of terror each time the shock is increased.

Stanley Milgram Journal Assignment Draft A psychologist named Stanley Milgram created an invention called the shock generator which included thirty different switches that had ranging voltages. The main question of the experiment is “how long will someone continue to give shocks to another person if they are told to do so‚ even if they thought they could be seriously hurt?” (Milgram Experiment‚ 2008). Of course to conduct any experiment‚ you need participants. Stanley Milgram had forty subjects
