The volunteers were selected by.. .. placing and ad. in newspaper. They were paid $4.50 - for just coming to Yale University. Participants had range of jobs and backgrounds.
Participants were told.... ....that they were taking part in a study of the effect of punishment on learning.
40 male participants (aged 20-50) were asked to administer electric shocks to a male 'learner' - 15V intervals up to 450V for incorrect responses. describe shock generator... The shock generator described the shocks from being 'mild' to 'severe' 'XXX'.
the 'learner' was a confederate (pretending to be a participant), so... No shocks were delivered accept the teacher who got a 'sample 'shock' to convince him that they were real. The 'learner' had been pre-recorded giving mostly the wrong answers.
The 'observer' wore a... and said... wore a lab coat to show authority.... and said standard prompts if the teacher hesitated.
the prompts were... 'please continue' 'the experiment requires you to continue' ''it is absolutely essential that you continue' 'you have no choice but to continue'
Their 'teacher', 'learner' roles were drawn, however.. .. they both said teacher.. so the confederate would say that they were the learner.
Once the research was complete the naive participants were.. .. debriefed- told the true intentions of the study and questioned about there actions.
Results.. .. at 300V five (12.5%) refused to continue. All participants had continued to this point. 26 (65%) administered the full 450V. The remainder (9) refused to continue between 300 and 450 volts.
the behaviour of the participants... -nervous laughter and smiling - extreme tension.. such as.. sweating, trembling, stuttering, biting lips, even digging finger nails into their flesh.
Milgram concluded.. that 'the phenomenon of obedience must rest on the analysis of the particular conditions in which it occurs'. The participants were put in a situation/circumstance that made it difficult to disobey.
