Stanley Milgram was an extremely famous psychologist who was best known for his groundbreaking experiment on the subject of obedience during the 1960s. Milgram began his career as a psychologist just around the time that the horrifying truth of the concentration camps came out. The fact that almost an entire nation obeyed one man‚ who commanded them to do inhumane and grotesque acts to other human beings intrigued Stanley Milgram. He became even more interested when he began watching the trial of

their behaviour did and it was nothing to do with individual personality. The experiment links into the Milgram experiment‚ in which ordinary people followed orders to give what they thought was electric shocks to people they could not see. Participants’ behaviour was slightly affected due to the fact that they were watched as opposed to a lurking variable (Hawthorne effect). This questions the reliability of the experiment and its findings to a certain extent‚ as we do not know how the participants

The Stanford Prison Experiment‚ conducted by Philip G. Zimbardo‚ was performed to see the process that takes place where guards and prisoners "learn" to become authoritarian guards and compliant prisoners. (Zimbardo‚ 732). The prisoners and guards had many burdens of disobedience. In the beginning of the experiment‚ the "prisoners" were stripped of everything and emotionally torn down for being "disobedient". They were dehumanized in every way. They couldn’t speak to another unless they called

The Stanford Prison Experiment During arrests the police use procedures that lead people to feel confused and fearful. In the case of the Stanford experiment when the prisoners were arrested a process of humiliation began. The twelve undergraduates selected to play the role of prisoners were fingerprinted‚ mug shots were taken; they were searched‚ stripped naked‚ deloused and their heads shaved. Then they were dressed in cheap smocks‚ with no underwear and had a small chain around one ankle.

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 which were all males. According to Milgram they were “recruited via mail and a newspaper ad. They thought they were going to participate in an experiment about ‘memory and learning’” (2008)

In the Milgram Experiment‚ a number of people where chosen to take memory test. If the subject did not correctly remember the words that were given‚ they would receive an electric shock. Also the person who was giving the electric shock was being evaluated as well‚ as to see their reactions when it came to delivering the punishment of being wrong. They were told that the shocks would not be as painful and that the person taking the exam would be fine. Every time the learner would make a mistake‚

While two of these instances were not intended to cause physical harm‚ they were all branded unethical due to the extent of not only the physical abuses that took place‚ but the painful psychological impact it left on those involved. One experiment‚ called The Milgram experiment‚ also raised ethical concern. The experiment consisted of 40 men recruited using

Milgram set up this experiment at Yale University to test how much pain an ordinary citizen would inflict on another person just because an experimental scientist ordered him to. Virtually one thousand adults were observed in this experiment‚ and several different conditions were launched to find a limit to which the candidate would continue the order
