The Milgram Experiments
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Stanley Milgram found that most participants would continue delivering what they believed were harmful shocks when an authority figure instructed them to proceed.
Show
Participants protested, showed distress, and continued — obedience persisted even as they believed they were causing harm.
Watch for
The finding concerns obedience to authority, which is a different mechanism from conformity to a peer group.
