To test if Germans were different and to find out why people are obedient to authority figures. 1 of 24 What type of sample was it? Self-selected 2 of 24 What did Milgram advertise the study being about? About the effect of punishment on learning. 3 of 24 What were the 'teachers' instructed to do to the 'learner' if they were wrong? To give them an electric shock and with each wrong answer the voltage increased 15 volts. 4 of 24 What was it that the 'learner' was meant to have learnt? Word pairs such as 'blue hat' 5 of 24 How many shocks were given to the participant? One to devieve them into believing that the machine worked. 6 of 24 Where did the study take place? Yale University, America 7 of 24 What was the voltage of the switches? 15-450 volts 8 of 24 What did the experimenter have to use if 'teacher' (participant) refuses? Verbal prods such as "please continue" or "the experiment requires that you continue". 9 of 24 What percentage of participants gave shocks up to 300V? 100% 10 of 24 What percentage of participants gave shocks up to 450V? 65% 11 of 24 The high level of obedience suggests what? That obedience is due to the situation i.e. perceived authority not the personality of the participant. 12 of 24 How were the participants decieved? Though that they and the confederate were given roles randomly, recieved shock from authentic-looking apparatus and verbal prods. 13 of 24 How much were participants paid and what were they told in reference to being paid? $4.50 and that they could leave if they wanted to and would still receive their payment (right to withdraw). 14 of 24 Were they debriefed after? Yes and introduced to the 'learner' to be sure that he was well. 15 of 24 What was followed up after the debrief? A questionnaire 16 of 24 How many participants returned the questionnaire? 92% 17 of 24 How many participants said they were happy to have taken part? 84% 18 of 24 Was Milgram competent? Yes as prior to studyd he asked colleagues what they predicted which shows he well thought out the study. 19 of 24 What's the problem of it being a volunteer sample? Biased so the findings may not generalise to the wider population. 20 of 24 Why does the study lack validity? The task isn't something usually expected to give electric shocks to other in a laboratory 21 of 24 Where they protected from harm? Put under pressure by the verbal prods and became distressed. 22 of 24 What was the age range for participants advertised? 20-50 years old 23 of 24 Gender of participants? All male 24 of 24
