How do you think you would have reacted if you were a subject in milgram's experiments? and if it were repeated today, would the subjects be more or less obedient? okay.
00:11
So, when milgram initially started his experiments, he did start by asking a lot of people, how would they react, and all of them said that they would not have pushed the voltage to the highest amount.
00:24
But, of course, when he actually performed experiments on other people, he found that most people do.
00:31
So basically your opinion of how you would react is not likely to be accurate.
00:37
Hopefully more accurate than the initial people he asked because you actually know that this tendency towards obedience exists in people, but most likely we would have reacted the same as the original subjects.
01:07
Some of them did refuse, and perhaps you or i would be one of them, but statistically, we wouldn't be.
01:17
If it were repeated today, would the subjects be more or less obedient? so there have been attempts to replicate it.
01:24
Of course, it has huge ethical issues in that you cannot have someone thinking they've killed somebody because of a psychological distress, but there have been attempts to replicate it by sidestepping those ethical issues.
01:37
So not the exact test, but they found much the same outcomes.
01:42
Even in recent years, that subjects are are roughly as obedient as we were in the original...
