Document Summary
Burger (2009): recent replication of modified milgram paradigm. Early 1970s: milgram paradigm was no longer in use because of ethical concerns. Burger made some modifications: stopped study at 150v to decrease stress to participants (since. This reduces ecological validity, and may reduce obedience. Baseline: vocal feedback with heart condition: results. Resistant confederate: second teacher (confederate) starts the process and participant watches, confederate defies authority at 90v, and participant instructed to continue procedure. Baseline: 70% past 150v (note: milgram"s was 83% ; not statistically significant) No significant differences in empathic concern or desire for control when comparing fully obedience to non-obedient participants. Being high in dispositional empathy doesn"t make. Clinical psychologist never had to intervene one more likely to be less obedient. Burger et al. (2011) examined transcripts and interviews with burger (2009) participants: results. Non-obedient participant were more likely to express personal responsibility than obedient participants during session and debriefing.
