Experiments Do not play as large a part in human sciences as in natural sciences; Because: Deal in complex real-life situations Artificiality can distort behaviour Ethical reasons – some experiments might adversely affect the participants

Possible solutions Wait for things to occur naturally Use history (e.g. in Economics) to provide evidence of likely outcomes Observe and draw conclusions, then test them. Is it possible that psychologists might see what they want to see in experiments?

The Milgram experiment Yale 1963, Stanley Milgram. How willing are people to obey orders? Advertised for volunteers to take part in an experiment “to test the effects of punishment on learning”. 100 volunteers – what % would have continued up to 450 volts? What would you have done? What does it tell us about human nature?

Could we question the ethics of the experiment rather than the participants? How would they feel about themselves? Does the knowledge gained outweigh the moral issues about the way the experiment was conducted?

What difference do you think it would have made if the original advert had mentioned electric shocks? What conclusion can you draw from this? Design your own ethical code of conduct for the running of experiments in the human sciences. What three or four key points would you include and why?
