Milgram's Obedience Variation Experiments
Baseline Experiment
Investigated the levels of obedience in administering shocks up to 450V, when ordered by authority
Took place in the basement of Yale University
100% obeyed to 300V
65% obeyed to 450V
Participants were told it was a study of memory
Physical presence of authority
Experimenter wore white lab coat - signifying status
Experiment 7
Telephonic Instructions
Investigated proximity of the authority figure (experimenter)
Experimenter gave orders over the phone in a separate room
Only 22.5% were fully obedient
Physical presence of authority increases obedience largely
Many participants were defiant & lied about administering shocks while over the phone
Experiment 10

Run-down Office Block
Investigated the situation (environment) of the experiment
