  • a cross cultural comparison of studies of Obedience using the milgram paradigm a review
    Social and Personality Psychology Compass, 2012
    Co-Authors: Thomas Blass
    Abstract:

    This report presents cross-cultural comparisons of studies on Obedience to authority using the classic Milgram paradigm, which provide answers to the following questions: 1. Overall, does the level of Obedience found in the United States differ from that found in other countries? 2. Is the nature or pattern of sex differences in Obedience the same or different in the United States and elsewhere? 3. How does Milgram’s “agentic state” conceptualization – that destructive Obedience presupposes a shift in responsibility from the perpetrator to the authority – fare cross-culturally?

  • from new haven to santa clara a historical perspective on the milgram Obedience experiments
    American Psychologist, 2009
    Co-Authors: Thomas Blass
    Abstract:

    This article traces the history of Obedience experiments that have used the Milgram paradigm. It begins with Stanley Milgram's graduate education, showing how some aspects of that experience laid the groundwork for the Obedience experiments. It then identifies three factors that led Milgram to study Obedience. The underlying principles or messages that Milgram thought could be extracted from his experiments are then presented, and the evidence in support of them is assessed. Jerry M. Burger'srecent replication of Milgram's work--its place in the history of Obedience research and its contribution to furthering the understanding of destructive Obedience--is then examined.

  • The Milgram Paradigm After 35 Years: Some Things We Now Know About Obedience to Authority1
    Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 1999
    Co-Authors: Thomas Blass
    Abstract:

    Guided by the belief that we cannot make broad extrapolations from the Obedience studies without first firmly establishing what has and has not been found using the paradigm itself, this article draws on 35 years of accumulated research and writings on the Obedience paradigm to present a status report on the following salient questions and issues surrounding Obedience to authority: (a) How should we construe the nature of authority in the Obedience experiment? (b) Do predictions of those unfamiliar with the Obedience experiment underestimate the actual Obedience rates? (c) Are there gender differences in Obedience? and (d) Have Obedience rates changed over time?

  • understanding behavior in the milgram Obedience experiment the role of personality situations and their interactions
    Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 1991
    Co-Authors: Thomas Blass
    Abstract:

    Among the far-reaching implications that have been drawn from Milgram's Obedience research is that situations powerfully override personal dispositions as determinants of social behavior. A focused review of the relevant research on the Milgram paradigm reveals that the evidence on situational determinants of Obedience is less clear than is generally recognized; contrary to the commonly held view, personality measures can predict Obedience; another kind of dispositional variable, enduring beliefs, is also implicated in the Obedience process and approaches suggested by interactionist perspectives can provide some integration of the literature. The article concludes with a discussion of the broader inferences about Obedience and social behavior called for by this review and the enduring significance of Milgram's Obedience research

  • personality predicts Obedience in a milgram paradigm
    Journal of Personality, 2015
    Co-Authors: Laurent Begue, Jeanleon Beauvois, Didier Courbet, Dominique Oberle, Johan Lepage, Aaron A Duke
    Abstract:

    This study investigates how Obedience in a Milgram-like experiment is predicted by interindividual differences. Participants were 35 males and 31 females aged 26–54 from the general population who were contacted by phone 8 months after their participation in a study transposing Milgram’s Obedience paradigm to the context of a fake television game show. Interviews were presented as opinion polls with no stated ties to the earlier experiment. Personality was assessed by the Big Five Mini-Markers questionnaire (Saucier, 1994). Political orientation and social activism were also measured. Results confirmed hypotheses that Conscientiousness and Agreeableness would be associated with willingness to administer higher-intensity electric shocks to a victim. Political orientation and social activism were also related to Obedience. Our results provide empirical evidence suggesting that individual differences in personality and political variables matter in the explanation of Obedience to authority.

  • discourse defiance and rationality knowledge work in the Obedience experiments
    Journal of Social Issues, 2014
    Co-Authors: Stephen Gibson
    Abstract:

    In this paper I present a secondary qualitative analysis of archived audio data from two conditions (‘voice-feedback’ and ‘women as subjects’) in Milgram’s experiments. Using a perspective informed by rhetorical and discursive psychologies, I focus on the rhetorical strategies employed by participants. This highlights the use of strategies based around direct invocations of ‘knowledge’. Analysis explores the ways in which participants could use such strategies to challenge the experimenter’s definition of the situation in their efforts to extricate themselves from the experiment. Findings are discussed in relation to two ongoing debates in the study of Milgram’s experiments: First, the importance of attending to defiance and resistance as much as compliance and Obedience; second, the questioning of the status of the phenomena captured in Milgram’s studies as necessarily being concerned with ‘(dis)Obedience’.

  • milgram s Obedience experiments a rhetorical analysis
    British Journal of Social Psychology, 2013
    Co-Authors: Stephen Gibson
    Abstract:

    The present paper outlines a perspective on Milgram's Obedience experiments informed by rhetorical psychology. This perspective is demonstrated through a qualitative analysis of audio recordings and transcripts from two of Milgram's experimental conditions: 'voice-feedback' and 'women as subjects'. Analysis draws attention to the way in which participants could draw the experimenter into a process of negotiation over the continuation of the experimental session, something which could lead to quite radical departures from the standardized experimental procedure, and points to the ineffectiveness of Milgram's fourth prod (You have no other choice, you must go on). These observations are discussed in terms of their implications for theory and research on dis/Obedience, with a specific focus on the concepts of choice and agency and the nature and meaning of dis/Obedience.
