ImpactModerate impact

The discussions highlight the enduring significance of obedience experiments and their implications, showing that the topic remains influential in understanding social behavior.

Abstract in brief

  • The study was a partial replication of Milgram's obedience experiments, involving 70 adults and focusing on the point where participants first heard the learner's protest at 150 volts, allowing researchers to estimate obedience levels beyond that point.
  • Results showed that obedience rates in 2006 were only slightly lower than Milgram's original findings from decades earlier, with about 79% of participants who reached 150 volts continuing to the maximum shock.
  • Factors such as seeing a confederate refuse instructions, gender, empathic concern, and desire for control influenced obedience levels, with obedience being high regardless of whether participants observed a model or not.]
