- Aim:to investigate obedience by partially replicating Milgram's study to examine whether situational factors affect obedience to an authority figure. this was also trying to study it in a more ethical way.
- Participants responded to an advert via flyers offering 50$ to take part. they took part in a number of screening processes asking about mental health, personality tests and an interview with a clinical psychologist.
- This resulted in a sample of 29 men and 41 women. ppts were randomly assigned to one of two conditions, but an attempt to keep the gender ratios in each condition equal was made.
- Baseline:
- ppts went through the same procedure as the milgram study. (stopped at 150v), only 15v shock given to ppt rather than 45v...
- after patients pressed the 75v switch, they heard a small grunt. ppts heart the confederate grunt after each successive shock, and each grunt was louder than the previous one...
- when the ppt pressed the 150v switch, they heard the confederate yell through the wall "ugh. that's all get me out of here, please. My heart's starting to bother me. I refuse to go on. let me out.

- Model-refusal
- two confederates used. one played the learner, new confederate was teacher 1, ppt was teacher 2.
- experimenter instructed teachers to sit beside each other infront of shock generator.
- after 90v, confederate said to experimenter "I don't know if i can do this"
- experimenter prodded "please continue", confederate moved chair back and ppt was asked to continue.
- after 90v, confederate said to experimenter "I don't know if i can do this"
- experimenter instructed teachers to sit beside each other infront of shock generator.
- two confederates used. one played the learner, new confederate was teacher 1, ppt was teacher 2.
- Baseline- 70% obeyed fully, model refusal- 63.3% continued to 150v. little difference in gender.
- Males & females used- representitive, however self selected = shared characteristics.
- Replicable procedure (standardised) , however low in ecological validity.
- controlled situation- low in ppt variables
- lacks protection from harm, however did lower shock to ppt.
- low in demand chars
- withdrawal witheld- prods.
- Deception.
