Quantitative results: all 40 pp's administered electric shocks up to 300V (100%). Of those, 26 pp's (65%) continued to obey orders and administered 450V shocks to the learner.
Qualitative results: signs of extreme tension were noted in many pp's as they were observed to "sweat, tremble, stutter, bite their lips, groan and dig their fingers into their flesh" which suggests that they were experiencing moral strain between wanting to obey researcher's orders and not wanting to hurt the learner
Nervous laughing fits were observed in 14 pps whilst full-blown uncontrollable seizures were observed in 3 pps.
