Episode Notes

“I tried to sit in different parts of the hall and not to adopt any marked spot, so as to remain more the master of my opinion,” one right-wing baron wrote, “but I was compelled absolutely to abandon the left or  

else be condemned always to vote alone and thus be subjected to jeers from the galleries.”

The experiment found, unexpectedly, that a very high proportion of subjects would fully obey the instructions,

albeit reluctantly. Milgram first described his research in a 1963 article in the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology[1] and later  

discussed his findings in greater depth in his 1974 book, Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View.[3]

 

 

 

On June 10, 1964, the American Psychologist published a brief but influential article by Diana Baumrind titled "Some Thoughts on Ethics of Research:

After Reading Milgram's' Behavioral Study of Obedience.'" Baumrind's criticisms of the treatment of human participants in Milgram's studies stimulated

a thorough revision of the ethical standards of psychological research. She argued that even though Milgram had obtained informed consent, he was still

ethically responsible to ensure their well-being. When participants displayed signs of distress such as sweating and trembling, the experimenter should  

have stepped in and halted the experiment.[19]

 

In his book published in 1974 Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View, Milgram argued that the ethical criticism provoked by his experiments was  

because his findings were disturbing and revealed unwelcome truths about human nature. Others have argued that the ethical debate has diverted attention  

from more serious problems with the experiment's methodology.[citation needed]
