Question

Stanley Milgram conducted an experiment on obedience.

Explain any two factors/reason as to why people showed high levels of obedience in this study.

Answer 1

Two reasons as why people showed high levels of obedience in this study:

1. They simply carry out orders from the authorities because they believe they are not responsible for their own actions.
2. Because people find it difficult to refuse authority figures’ status symbols (such as their uniform or title).
