4. WednesdayApril 8th, 2009 (4/8/2009) WARM UP Time Given: 3 minutes Yesterday when I asked you to stand up, most/all of you stood up. When I asked you why you stood up, most of you replied, “because you told me to.” If someone tells you to do something that you don’t want to do, would you do it? Why or why not? Now, what if I told you to injure another person who you don’t want to injure. Would youinjure that person? Why or why not?

5. The Milgram Experiment NO NOTES In the 1960’s, social psychologist Stanley Milgram started performing experiments to figure out why millions of Germans thought it was perfectly okay to slaughter millions of Jews during World War II. Were they just listening to their superiors? Were the German people brainwashed?

6. Were they listening to their superiors? NO NOTES The answer is YES.

7. Were they listening to their superiors? NO NOTES The answer is YES. The question that remains is…how far would someone go to please an authority figure?

8. The Milgram Experiment TAKE NOTES In his experiment, Milgram set up: 1 room with an authority figure (AF) and a tester (T1) 1 room with another tester (T2)

9. The Milgram Experiment NO NOTES

10. The Milgram Experiment TAKE NOTES The authority figure (AF) would ask a question to the second tester (T2). If the second tester (T2) got it right, nothing happened. If the second tester (T2) got it wrong, the authority figure (AF) ordered the first tester (T1) to give the second tester (T2) a shock.

11. The Milgram Experiment TAKE NOTES Every wrong question resulting in a higher-level shock. The last level shock (450 volts) was enough to kill the second tester (T2).

12. The Milgram Experiment NO NOTES You should know that both the Authority figure (AF) and the second tester (T2) are “in” on the experiment. Meaning, there are NO painful shocks actually being delivered. Only the first tester (T1) thinks he is delivering painful shocks to the second tester (T2) each time he gets and answer wrong.

13. The Milgram Experiment NO NOTES If the tester (T1) wanted to quit giving shocks to the other tester (T2), the Authority figure (AF) would say: “Please continue.” “The experiment requires that you continue.” “You have no other choice, you must go on.”

14. The Milgram Experiment NO NOTES If there were 40 people in the experiment, how many do you think delivered the “fatal” shock?

15. The Milgram Experiment NO NOTES If there were 40 people in the experiment, how many do you think delivered the “fatal” shock?

16. The Milgram Experiment NO NOTES If there were 40 people in the experiment, how many do you think delivered the “fatal” shock? 65% (26/40)

17. The Milgram Experiment NO NOTES If there were 40 people in the experiment, how many do you think delivered the “fatal” shock? 65% (26/40) Most were uncomfortable delivering the last shock; every one questioned the Authority figure (AF) at some point during the experiment, but the tester (T1) kept delivering shocks.
