www.psychexamreview.com In this video I discuss what is perhaps the most famous study in social psychology; Stanley Milgram's investigation of obedience to authority, conducted at Yale in the early 1960s. Milgram's study involved the delivery of increasingly powerful electric shocks to another person. While psychiatrists predicted only 1% of participants would continue to the maximum voltage of 450 volts (despite protests and then eerie silence from the "learner") Milgram found that 67% of participants were convinced to continue by the insistence of the experimenter. I discuss the associated ethical issues of the study, along with possible reinterpretations of the data, the procedure, and the meaning of the findings.
