MILGRAM AND OBEDIENCE
A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO MILGRAM’S OBEDIENCE STUDY
Delve into Stanley Milgram’s controlled observation on obedience, designed to investigate how far individuals would go in following orders from an authority figure. Learn about agency theory, which explains obedience through the shift between the autonomous and agentic states. Explore key variations in his research, including the role of proximity, location, and uniform, and consider the ethical criticisms and real-world implications of his findings on obedience to unjust authority.
