Alan Watt - Experiments - Ep. 1 - "Obedience to Authority" - July 17, 2023

Obedience is compliance with commands given by an authority figure. In the 1960s, the social psychologist Stanley Milgram did a famous research study called the obedience study. It showed that people have a strong tendency to comply with authority figures. Milgram told his forty male volunteer research subjects that they were participating in a study about the effects of punishment on learning. He assigned each of the subjects to the role of teacher. Each subject was told that his task was to help another subject like himself learn a list of word pairs. Each time the learner made a mistake, the teacher was to give the learner an electric shock by flipping a switch, though electric shocks were never delivered. The teacher was told to increase the shock level each time the learner made a mistake, until a dangerous shock level was reached. Milgram found that two-thirds of the teachers administered even the highest level of shock, despite believing that the learner was suffering great pain and distress. Milgram believed that the teachers had acted in this way because they were pressured to do so by an authority figure.Show more
