Stanley Milgram 1 of 28 In what year did Milgram research obedience? 1963 2 of 28 How many participants did Milgram recruit? 40 male participants through newspaper ads and postal flyers (volunteer sample) 3 of 28 What did the participants think the name of the study was? A memory study 4 of 28 How old were participants? Aged between 20 and 50 years old 5 of 28 What jobs did participants have? Ranged from unskilled to proffesional 6 of 28 Did the participants get paid $4.50 for just turning up? Yes 7 of 28 What was the three roles in Milgram's study? Learner, Teacher, Experimentor 8 of 28 Who was always the learner? A confederate 9 of 28 Who was always the teacher? A true participant 10 of 28 Who was always the experimenter? A confederate who wore a lab coat 11 of 28 What was the participants told? That they could leave the study at any time 12 of 28 Where was the learner? He was strapped into a chair in another room and wired with electrodes 13 of 28 What did the teacher have to give? The learner an increasingly severe electric 'shock' each time he made a mistake on a task (learning word pairs) 14 of 28 What was the teachers not told? That the shocks were all fake and the learner was an actor 15 of 28 What voltage did shocks start at? 15 volts (labelled 'slight shock' on the machine) 16 of 28 What voltage did the shocks end at? 450 volts (labelled 'danger - severe shock' on the machine) 17 of 28 What did the learner do at 300 volts ('intense shock')? Pounded on the wall and gave no response to the next question 18 of 28 What did the learner do after the 315-volt shock? Pounded on the wall but gave no further response 19 of 28 What did the experimenter give when the teacher turned to him for guidance? A standard instruction - 'absence of response should be treated as a wrong answer' 20 of 28 What did the experimenter use if the teacher felt unsure about continuing? A sequence of four standard 'prods' for example 'please continue; 21 of 28 What was the results below 300 volts? No participants stopped 22 of 28 How many participants stopped at 300 volts? 5 - 12.5% 23 of 28 What percentage continued to 450 volts? 65% 24 of 28 What did Milgram also find? Participants showed signs of extreme tension for example sweating 25 of 28 What happened prior to the study? Milgram asked 14 psychology students to predict the naïve participants behaviour 26 of 28 What percentage did the psychology students estimate that no more would continue to 450 volts? 3% and so the findings were unexpected 27 of 28 What happened after the study? Participants were debriefed and assured that their behaviour was normal 28 of 28
