Did experiment on obedience.  Set up lab to see how far participants would go in shocking other subjects.

• Zimbardo
• Milgram
• Asche
• Pavlov

Milgram's studies on obedience to authority showed that

• most people were able to resist the experimenter's pressure to shock the 'learner.'
• obedience was strongly linked to the subject's personality.
• subjects readily imitated aggressive behavior after seeing violent movies.
• most 'teachers' delivered the maximum amount of shock to the 'learner.'

Milgram's intention in conducting his studies of obedience was to replicate the social situation in

• college dormitories.
• Nazi Germany.
• Vietnam.
• the American Civil War.

Milgram's study demonstrated that

• people will give clearly incorrect answers to a problem when they believe the experiment is invalid.
• destructive obedience is rare; most people will not engage in it.
• people will obey commands to harm another person when they believe they are in a legitimate setting.
• people will quickly stand up to an authority figure when they are uncomfortable obeying that person's commands.
