Baseline procedure-what u all dont know
40 AMERICAN male ppts agreed to take part in study on memory and intorduced to confederate
none stopped below 300v
12.5% stopped at 300v and 65% continued
observations- tremble,sweat 3 HAD FULL BLOWN SEIZURES
BEFORE 14 psychology students were asked-no more than 3% would go fully to 450v
84% said glad to take part after debrief
conc-“germans not diff’‘to obey unreasonable order
research support
One strength is that they have research support.
ppts in French game. paid to deliver electric shocks
80% dlivered max of 460v to unconscious man-nervous behaviour, nail biting like milligrams
therefore, findings support milligrams study and its not a SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE
Low internal validity
Milgram may not be testing what he intended to test
even tho 75% stated believed shocks were genuine.other researchers believe they knew it was fake an playing along. Gina Perry(2013) listened to study and found only Half ppts believed it was real
Therefore, not accurate representation to ppts responses to obedience
