Independent behaviour-
situational factors
- Conditions in
Milgram's
experiments that
resulted in low
obedience levels-
- setting-low status
- Proximity to victim-high
- Proximity to authority- low
- social support-others disobeying
- setting-low status
- Ghamson, Fireman and Rytina
- Gamson et al set up a
situation where the participant
were encouraged to rebel
against an unjust authority
- The researchers placed an advert in a
newspaper asking for volunteers to take
part in a paid group discussion on
standard behaviour in the community.
The participants were split into groups
where the discussion was to take place,
on standard behaviour in the community.
- The participants were split into large groups where
the discussion was to take place, Holiday Inn. The
groups were made up of nine people and they met by
an actor who claimed to be a human relations
consultant. The fake company was called
'manufacturers Human Relations Consultants' A man
explained that hthe compnay was conducting
research for an oil company whcih was taking legal
action against a petrol statoin manager.
- They argued that the manager had been sacked
because his lifestyle was offensive to the local
community. The manager argued that he was
sacked because he had spoken out about high
petrol prices
- Participants were asked to take
part in a group discussion about
the sacking and it was filmed. The
discussion showed the views the
[participants were irrelevant and
the HR company wanted them to
argue in favour of the sacking.
- At a number of points during the discussion the
cameraman stopped the camera and told them to
argue in favour of the oil company''s decision to sack
the manager. Finally the partial participants were
asked to sign a consent form allowing the film to be
shown in a court case.
- Gamson et al set up a
situation where the participant
were encouraged to rebel
against an unjust authority
- Results of Ghamson, Fireman and Rytina
- Out of thirty three groups tested by Gamson et al, thirty two
rebelled in some way. In twenty five out of thirty two groups
the majority of group members refused to sign the consent
form. In nine groups they threatened legal action against the
HR company.
- Rebellion against authority in this context involved challenging
two well established social norms in thie situation, the norm of
obedience and the norm of commitment, both of which
participants had agreed in by taking part.
- Out of thirty three groups tested by Gamson et al, thirty two
rebelled in some way. In twenty five out of thirty two groups
the majority of group members refused to sign the consent
form. In nine groups they threatened legal action against the
HR company.
