MilgramDescriptionAttitudes towards ethics of a famous Milgram experiment FormatA dataset with 37 observations on the following 2 variables.
DetailsOne of the most famous and most disturbing psychological studies of the twentieth century took
place in the laboratory of Stanley Milgram at Yale University. Milgram's subjects were asked
to monitor the
answers of a "learner" and to push a button to deliver shocks whenever the learner gave a wrong
answer. The more wrong answers, the more powerful the shock.
Even Milgram himself was surprised by the results: Every one of his subjects ended up delivering
what they thought was a dangerous 300-volt shock to a slow "learner" as punishment for repeated
wrong answers. Source"An experimental study of attitudes toward deception" by Mary Ann DiMatteo. Unpublished manuscript, Department of Psychology and Social Relations, Harvard University (1972). -- Dataset imported from https://www.r-project.org. |
