Milgram (1963) vs. Meeus and Raaijmakers (1985) (12 marks) The aim of both studies was to test obedience. Meeus and Raaijmakers were testing psychological violence‚ where Milgram was testing physical violence.

(Hysterically) You have no right to hold me here. Let me out!” (Milgram‚ 1965) You would hope that any decent human being would sympathise and realise that enough is enough.

The Stanford Prison Experiment – Phillip Zimbardo Introduction Headed by Phillip Zimbardo‚ the Stanford Prison Experiment was designed with the aim of investigating how readily people would behave and react to the roles given to them within a simulated prison.
