Question

When Milgram asked 110 psychiatrists, college students, and middle-class adults to predict the results of his experiment, the respondents said that they thought _____. Group of answer choices

Answer 1

1. No one would obey the orders to continue

2. At least 50% of the participants would not continue

3. More than half the participants would not be willing to continue

4. Most people would follow instructions

The answer is group 4. Milgram’s experiment showed that a majority of participants (66.2%) would obey instructions to continue even when they believed their actions were injuring another person. His experiment demonstrated how easily people can be influenced by authority figures and how willing people are to obey orders even when those orders conflict with their moral principles.
