MSMajken Jul SørensenØstfold University College

Key Points

Milgram’s studies reveal significant insights about obedience to authority, shaping the field of social psychology.
Milgram's experiments, alongside Asch's and Zimbardo's work, are foundational in understanding social behavior.
This analysis connects historical research to contemporary perspectives on authority and conformity.
Understanding these studies helps evaluate how obedience influences modern social interactions and ethics.

Abstract

Excerpt: "Stanley Milgram’s studies of obedience to authority from the early 1960s are perhaps the most well-known social-psychological experiments in history. Together with Solomon Asch’s studies about conformity and Philip Zimbardo’s Stanford prison experiment, they have informed generations of students in psychology and sociology and found their way into popular culture."
