Obedience
- Compliance with someone's
orders/wishes or acknowledgement of
their authority.
- AO1 Milgram 1963
- To see how far pps will go when
told to do extraordinary tasks by
an authority figure.
- 40 men, ages 20-50, no
students all of different
job genre
- Pp introduced to confederate and allocated
'random' role of teacher
- Witnessed confederate being strapped into chair and wired to shock machine
- When pp left a recording was hooked up to the machine
- When pp left a recording was hooked up to the machine
- Witnessed confederate being strapped into chair and wired to shock machine
- teacher Q'ed confed and shocked him for
wrong answers
- 15-450 volts, increase of 15 each time.
- 15-450 volts, increase of 15 each time.
- confederate began to complain at 300 volts
- Silent after 330 volts
- Had heart problems
- Silent after 330 volts
- If hesitant the
experimenter
encouraged teacher to
carry on
- 65% administered 450volts
- No one stopped before 300 volts
- Signs of stress shown
- People will obey ordered to hurt others even if it means acting against conscious
- People will obey ordered to hurt others even if it means acting against conscious
- Signs of stress shown
- No one stopped before 300 volts
- To see how far pps will go when
told to do extraordinary tasks by
an authority figure.
- AO2 Milgram
- Method
- Lab
experiment,
controlled,
standardised
proceedure,
reliable and
replicable
results
- Lab
experiment,
controlled,
standardised
proceedure,
reliable and
replicable
results
- Validity
- Low ecological validity, not an everyday
task, not generalisable beyond setting
- High internal validity,
critisized for demand
characteristics
however signs of
belief eg stress were
shown, shows pps
believed experiment.
- Low ecological validity, not an everyday
task, not generalisable beyond setting
- Sample
- Low population validity, only men
used, androcentric bias, not
generalisable to whole population
- Low population validity, only men
used, androcentric bias, not
generalisable to whole population
- Method
- Milgram Variations.
- Different location
- run down office location = 48% 450V
- run down office location = 48% 450V
- Proximity
- learner and teacher in same room = 40% 450v
- learner and teacher in same room = 40% 450v
- Touching porximity
- Pps had to place learners hand on shock panel = 30% 450V
- Pps had to place learners hand on shock panel = 30% 450V
- Experimenter absence
- experimenter gave instructions then left and contacted pp via phone = 20.5% 450V
- experimenter gave instructions then left and contacted pp via phone = 20.5% 450V
- Two peer rebels
- 2 confed and 1 real pp, confeds rebelled and was up to pp to continue = 10% 450V
- 2 confed and 1 real pp, confeds rebelled and was up to pp to continue = 10% 450V
- Teachers discretion
- Pps decided on the shock = 0.4% 450V
- Pps decided on the shock = 0.4% 450V
- Different location
- Bickman 1974
- To see if uniforms affect obedience
- Researchers in New York dressed up as guards, milkmen and civilians.
- Asked public to preform tasks such as litter or move
- 90% of pps obeyed guard figure
- 50% obeyed normal citizen
- People are more likely to obey from a percieved authority figure
- To see if uniforms affect obedience
