- Pps obeyed because it appeared that the experimenter knew what he was doing and had a worthy purpose that they did not want to disrupt.

- Pps believed that the allocation of 'teacher' & 'learner' was random, so the learner cannot complain.

- Pps obeyed because they had been paid, thus felt obliged.

- Pps obeyed because they were assured that the shocks were 'painful but not dangerous' therefore discomfort was only temporary.
