5 Quantitative Findings VoltageNumber of participants for whom this was maximum shock 0V-285V 0 300V 5 315V 4 330V 2 345-375V 3 390-435V 0 450 26

6 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

7 Fig. 18.8 Physical distance from the “learner” had a significant effect on the percentage of subjects obeying orders.

8 Would Milgram find the same results today? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcvSNg0H Zwk (BBC 2009) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcvSNg0H Zwk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezR5BPVx 7s8 (French TV 2010) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezR5BPVx 7s8 http://bcs.worthpublishers.com/myers9e/ (Myers) http://bcs.worthpublishers.com/myers9e/
