- Milgram- experimenter thought to have legit responsibility
- Hofling- nurses obeyed doc, legit auth. took responsibility
- Real life phenomena
- Abu Ghraib prison soldiers under high authority. behaved in agentic state as "just following orders"
- Moral strain explained
- People in M+H didnt seem like they wanted to do it but in agentic state so compelled to
- Doesnt explain all behaviour in milgram and hofling
- not 100% obedience so some werent in agentic state
- Theory does not explain that some people obey because they are scared of the consequences
- Supporting Studies
- Hofling- nurses obeyed doc, legit auth. took responsibility
