Actually, the arguably most important part of the Milgram experiment is the part that is very consistently left out, which explained how the four different prods affected the subjects. When given the prod, "please continue," many of the subjects did indeed continue, but it wasn't as effective as "the experiment requires that you continue." This is because the subjects most often pushed themselves to continue when they believed that continuing the experiment would benefit the greater good. The last prod, however, "you have no choice but to continue," was the closest the experimenters got to a direct order, and the closest the subject group got to not complying at all. So, it can be argued that the Milgram experiment actually shows that people are more willing to do things when they believe that it is what is right, NOT when they are being ordered to do so.

The funniest thing I got out of watching clips of the Milgram Experiment was an interview with one of the refusers. Refuser: "In my mind, I was hurting that gentleman, so I wasn't going to go any further." Psychologist: "But is there anything Mr Williams [the researcher] could have said [to make you continue]?" Refuser: *Leans back in his chair* "To hell with Mr Williams." *Lights a cigarette LIKE A BOSS*

Reminds me of when I was around 8 years of age. A group of us played together during recess but one day the group decided to bully another kid who was pretty much isolated. The time is was what the group was doing it so I didn't think anything of it, it was "normal". It wasn't until I got home and started watching my daily episode of power rangers, my super heroes fighting for good. I started thinking to myself realized what I had done was wrong and felt guilty. Thankfully my story ends with me apologizing to the kid and inviting him to play with us and he was never bullied again. Still friends to this day.

I am so glad I watched this video - it explained to me why all the students in my drama production are all putting so little effort into being expressive. I knew that their desire to be accepted by their peers was part of it, but the idea of social loafing and little individual accountability had not occurred to me. It made me realise that I haven't given them any indication of how they are going to be assessed individually, so at the moment they all think that it's ok to not stand out because the whole group is acting a particular way. I still have some more thinking to do about how to change this situation but it was a big help. Thanks Hank and Crash Course contributors!

I sarcastically replied about a stupid rumor....and a boy started throwing rocks at me.....then they all started throwing rocks at me (pea gravel) and kicking me till the recess bell rang. When asked why...they all shrugged their shoulders and said "because everyone else was". Since the I get nervous when I sense a "same mind same body" mentality forming within a group and get the hell out of the area...saved me a lot of trouble as a kid.....but I had 0 trust of my peers and almost no friends till High School. Heck vigils (where where everyone is one mind one body) still make me nervous..... and church was (still is) torture. I can go see a movie in a crowded theater now with no problem, or to a sports event no problem now.....but I am vigilant.

I have seen something very similar to what you've mentioned. When kids in my class would pointlessly harass me or other kids I would ask what exactly they gain from what they are doing, the response was usually "shut up" or they would walk away in silence. The reason I found wasn't "because everyone else is", since they were in a group but they were the only ones harassing, but that they wanted to show the group or the person they were harassing that they were superior to said person and had control over him, that he was their helpless puppet. The "because everyone else is" reason is more popular in the kind of setting that you've mentioned, where there is one person that started and everyone else joins, that reason is very similar to the one I mentioned even though they aren't trying to prove that they are superior over someone but that they aren't inferior to the rest of the group.

Okay, I really want to point out that although that interpretation of the Milgram experiment is the most popular, it's not the only one and arguably not even the one most supported by the evidence. There's another interpretation that it's the idealism of science that enabled people to perform the shocks, not orders. For example, those prods? Note that the fourth one is the only one that can actually be considered a genuine order and impinges on the participant's free will. It's also the only prod that, whenever it was used, *immediately* caused participants to rebel against the experiment. The others, particularly the second one, tended to be far more effective. In the comments participants wrote on feedback forms, they often talked about how important scientific testing was, and were often glad to have taken part (though Milgram was quite bad at giving back feedback, some people thought they had actually murdered a man). Factors that cause doubt about scientific credibility (e.g. professor not being in a labcoat, disagreement among two professors, not doing the study at Yale etc.) can be said to be the factors that actually reduce compliance (though note the authority of an expert is inherently tied into how credible something is, so it's difficult to separate). Essentially, participants trust that science is a progressive force for good and have faith that the experimenter, as an informed representative of that, knows what will or will not ultimately cause genuine harm. There are also questions of whether or not original participants knew there was an actor involved (replications where people know the study is faked still produce emotional distress), data manipulation, and how standardised the procedure actually was. I am not saying that the initial interpretation is wrong or the Milgram experiment isn't a landmark study. Authority is unquestionably a huge factor on behaviour. I just think that the interpretation of strong belief in an ideal might actually be the conclusion that explains why Nazism occurred, rather than the mere 'humans are spineless cowards' narrative that keeps springing up around this, and it should be part of the discussion. The idea that people are willing to do dirty work for the greater good, even to their own discomfort, is one I personally find more congruent.

Social loafing may be misleading. When people are in a group, they may just not feel the need to put forth maximum effort in an attempt to conserve energy and resources, whereas if you're solely acting on your own behalf, your effort more directly/dramatically impacts the result of that effort than when mitigated by the rest of the group. If your belief is that a group is put together to do more work, then it may be loafing. If you believe that a group's goal is to bring together people with the same objective and achieve that objective more easily, then it's not loafing.

I live in Vancouver. We've had two riots over hockey thus far. The first one was in 1994 and a bit unexpected. Right before the second one in 2011, however, many of us were expecting something to go down, and it did. The police chief blamed it on criminal elements but as time went along and more charges were applied, it became clear that many of these people were your average everyday citizens. In almost every situation, it turned out that they were just caught up in the whole thing, and the events of 1994 almost made rioting something "normal" in this kind of situation. It's sad, really. But it is certainly interesting to see how group dynamics can cause everyday people to do things that you normally would not expect.

Well, I must be touched in the head, then. If someone told me "You have no choice but to continue," the only response I can think to give them is "Don't I?" Group dynamics always pissed me off and the implied need to conform or be ostracised I found intellectually insulting... Though probably not offensive. Over time, I've realised that most people can't see past their own nose and simply don't realise what kind of peer pressure they exert on their... Well, peers. Conformity may be a natural tendency for people who feel good by being in a group and being accepted. For those who recognise the cost of such thinking, however, conformity is less pleasant and more repugnant. We developed these large brains with which we make decisions. It seems a shame to delegate those to other people.

My social psych teacher at NYU told us that, during a replication of the Milgram experiment, there was a subject who refused to give the socks because "I just got back from Vietnam, I know where this is going". (I know, I know, case study and the plural of anecdote is not data, but) knowing how authority uses escalation to make us do things we normally wouldn't can make it at least harder for them to succeed in manipulating us, if we watch out for it ^_^

I do not know if this was brought up elsewhere in the comments, but two critical things were left out of the overview of the Milgram results. (1) It was found that people only went with pressure up until the last stage which included commanding (rather then pressuring) language. When confronted with 'you must' people were much less likely to continue. (2) A critical element that was found through testing variations was that the tasks had to be framed as being important to something bigger then themselves. When it was presented as important research that was going to have a real effect on society and lives people were more willing to push things. With a downplayed or removed element of 'this is good for the whole' people again were much less willing to administer the higher level shocks. So there needed to be both a 'greater good' AND non-compulsorily element to get results.

Out of curiosity, what words for working against the group dynamic? EG. You feel with rooting for the underdog when the group is going popular choice, or, when in group activity you feel more likely to put in effect cause you do not wish to be seen as slacking whereas if alone you more likely to loaf.

+Callum McTavish I think 'hipsters' are categorized as being in an autonomous state. When a person is in an autonomous state, they are free to behave according to their own principles, and if they wish to root for the underdog, then they are more likely to do so than if they were in an agentic state.
@callummctavish9939

but it not autonomous, I mean one who action are dictated by the larger group and they actively go in the opposite way. Not rooting for an underdog, but actively seeking to be the underdog, whether it be positive or negative direction. Hipster I think just actively seek self identity, so they just try to be different, not opposite of the larger group. Not sure either can truly said to be autonomous since their action would need the input of larger group they dependent on to define their own actions.

I'm in the middle of the book, Behind the Shock Machine, about the Milgram experiments. The author did research, going over his results and interviewing subjects, and found that the results were actually the opposite of what was published. 2/3 didn't go to the maximum voltage. The subjects were also told that the shocks were harmless so it could also be interpreted as an experiment in trust rather than just obedience. On top of that he didn't design the experiment very well. Half of his subjects saw through the ruse.

It seems like all the landmark experiments in the history of psychology that we refer back to all the time would be considered unethical today. Has ethics brought us to a self-imposed end of knowledge?

It’s important to note that the subjects of Milgrams experiments were told before the experiment began that the shocks would not inflict permanent damage or kill the learner. Learning this definitely changed how I viewed this experiment. Still sad and scary that ordinary people can ignore the cries of pain that the actors gave, but they believed that there would be no permanent damage. I don’t blame crash course for not being detailed since it’s literally a crash course haha

Thinking for yourself can be isolating. It has been for me, but I wouldn't say I'd rather not think for myself. I think at times I have been influenced to believe/think certain things and I can say that most of those times, if not all, were somehow related to fear. However, I seem to be more immune to social influence then the average person.

Completely wrong interpretation at 8:51 . The 1/3 that wouldn't "shock someone to death" would still shock someone to dangerous and frightening levels of 300 volts. No one was a hero.
@Nixitur
7 жыл бұрын
True, but unless you're a medical doctor, an electrician or someone who otherwise knows a lot about how dangerous shocks are, that number doesn't really mean much to you. Is 300 volts really that much more dangerous than, say, 150? Or 90? Sure, I could look it up, but the Milgram experiment was done in 1961, so that would not have been easy at the time. I don't know why 300 volts is the cut-off point for so many people. It could simply be the point where the "learner" stopped reacting at all, indicating that they have received serious injury. Or maybe that's where the actor switched from expressions of pain to begging the teacher to stop. My point is that putting the "not a hero" line at 300 volts is rather arbitrary. It would probably be fair to put it at giving any electro shocks at all, so the starting 30 volts, but then you're really putting your standards unreasonably high.
@infocool4609

If you actually read the experiment, by 300 volts the confederate (student being taught) had already shouted things like "Get me out of here! I refuse to go on with the experiment! Get me out of here! My heart is starting to act up!" When the shock that was supposedly 300 volts was administered, the learner pounded on the wall of his room. At 330 volts the learner let out a great scream of pain and fell silent. Read up, Sonny-boy before you opine! You just sound ignorant!

Ah, so there is a relevance to the 300-volt line. I wasn't aware of that. And as an aside, I just tried to find the original study, but the only thing I found was a nine page article which lists absolutely no protests from the learner before 300 volts and does not mention any shouting from the actor at all.

So blindly following a group is bad, but being rebellious is also bad? That´s why i think many psychological disorders are bullchit. You can find out what brings people to their behavior, but classifying it as if there´s an objective high ground is unscientific.

A side comment for you: Blindly following or rebelling is always bad. You have to make a strong conscious effort to do any form of good in either situation. It may very well be the hardest thing you do in your life.
