I wanted to share another study with you that served as the basis for changing the way research is conducted. As you read this, think about the ethical principles that were violated.
Milgram’s “Obedience to Authority Study” (1963)
The purpose of this study was to learn more about how humans respond when given instructions from people in positions of authority. The researchers informed study volunteers that the purpose of the research was to study learning and memory. Each subject was told to teach a “student” and to punish the students’ errors by administering increasing levels of electric shock. The “students” were confederates of the researcher and were never actually harmed. The “students” pretended to be poor learners. They mimicked pain and even unconsciousness as the subjects increased the levels of electric shock. Sixty-three percent of the subjects administered what they thought were lethal shocks; some did so even after the “student” claimed to have heart disease. Some of the subjects, after being “debriefed” from the study, experienced serious emotional crises.
