Milgram’s Further Findings Impact of the following circumstances on levels of obedience? – “Authority” not in room – 2 “authority” figures/conflicting instructions – No “authority” but peer giving orders – Dissenter – “Victim’s” actions All but one = less obedience

Fig Physical distance from the “learner” had a significant effect on the percentage of subjects obeying orders.
