Milgram Experiment

In the Milgram study we watches as humans through the ages of 20-50 were sat down and given a shock test when answering questions, in the replicated study there as “teachers” that didn't know what was going on and thought the were shocking a person in the next room. In the the original motive was to test the difference between “obedience for authority and personal conscientious”(Mcleod) this meant they got a confederate and would see how many volts this individual would give to the volunteer when a question was answered wrong. After conducting this experiment it was very important to see how everyone reacted because you got to see many different emotions of people and weather they stopped at the half way mark or hit the full voltage . In this study Social psychology which means “the scientific study of

Even though most of the participants were under the influence of conformity which means a “change in ones behavior to coincide more closely with a group standard”(King 446). I wouldn't be able to go through with giving someone electric shock just because they answered a question wrong, I would have to stop the experiment all together. I think in this experiment there is a big difference between asking someone to shock another human and just sitting them down and them actually testing out the experiment. Most people would say no to shocking another person while just answering questions, but while sitting in a chair and getting told what to do by a person in charge you think its not that dangerous and that its an okay thing to do. Also in the experiment it was important to give the same results to each participant because you wouldn't want a screaming sound for only a 15 voltage power. It all had to be consistent and the same so that each participant was judging the same sound even if they had different views about
