What is the purpose of the milgram experiment? so what happens in the milgram experiment first? so in the milgram experiment, there were three people involved.
00:15
The person running the experiment, so the researcher, the teacher, or educator, and this was the real subject, and then there was the learner.
00:31
And the learner was in on it, but the teacher does not know that.
00:35
And the experiment involved the teacher asking questions to the learner, who would be in a different room.
00:41
And if the learner got the question wrong, the teacher would apply an electric shock by pushing a button.
00:47
And the more questions that the learner gets wrong, the higher the voltage.
00:53
So the teacher applies shocks of increasing intensity.
01:04
Because, of course, the learner is in on this, so they are purposefully getting the questions wrong.
01:08
The role of the researcher is to tell the teacher what's going to happen, and also to be present as an authority figure, because most of the time, at some point the teacher would start to doubt the experiments.
01:24
They wouldn't want to continue, because the voltages would get to the point where the learner would sound like they are in extreme pain, and then eventually stop responding.
01:32
So around that point, the teachers would usually ask to stop...
