Document Summary
Prestige: took the experiment out of yale and to a shopping mall. Ordinary man: someone who didn"t look important giving the prompts, 20% obedience. Role reversal: having the experimenter strapped in the chair instead and having the experimenter (the authority figure) say to stop, 0% obedience. The scientist was in another room giving directions through the phone instead of being there. 62. 5% obedience: saying he has a heart condition. Learner is actually in the room and acting hurt. Participant has to physically put the learners hand on the shock plate. Having two experimenters: good/bad experimenter, when the participant wanted to stop, the good experimenter wanted to let him stop and the bad experimenter wanted him to keep going, 0% obedience. Two confederate teachers would refuse to continue and leave, and the experimenter would continue to pressure the participant to continue. Have the participant just observe and see if they would get involved with the confederates who were shocking.
