-
Data (quantitative)
Advantages
the researchers were interested in comparisons between disobedience and whistle-blowing so easier to use quantitative data

Validity
Advantages
High ecological validity - task was more realistic than Milgram's study and even though artificial environment real situation it set out to represent was a lab experiment

-
Ethnocentrism

Ethics
Advantages
