Charles Sheridan/Richard King 1972, Shock the Puppy
Aim
To replicate the Milgram experiment to try to find flaws in the procedure and results of the experiment
Hypothesis
Sheridan and King believed some learners in the Milgram experiment were faking shocks, so they replaced humans as the learner with puppies and gave them real shocks to recreate the same experiment
-
Method and design
-
-
-
Location: either University of Missouri or University of California, Berkeley
procedure
- Roles are the learner (puppy), teacher (volunteer), and experimenter (scientist)
- teachers were taken to a seperate room where the learner can't be seen and asked to press the button for increasing intensity and real shocks for each error the learner made
- Should the teacher wish to stop the experiment, prods were used at each stage in order to encourage the teacher to proceed
- Prods from earliest to latest
-
-
-
-
- experiment ends when all shocks have been given, should the teachers ask specific details, certain comments would be given in response
Results
-
100% of the female volunteers obeyed the order, even if they were emotionally distraught
Subjects showed more hesitation the higher the shock was, less duration when pressing the button
