I recently took a class in which the instructor (trying to make a point on group identity) accidentally created a Milgram Experiment like scenario. When I explained the dangers and flaws, she was unaware of the experiment. Not being aware of the experiment, it would be very difficult to properly debrief subjects.
Worth reminding people of.
I remember some ethics committees had a standing "no milgram" decision. Attitudes are changing, but its worth considering whether you should create a Milgram-Scenario or not
In any case, an interesting link. I hadn't realized that a full half of the participants suspected that the shocks were faked. That makes a big difference in the results.
Also interesting that although the difference is slight, it does appear that Americans are a little less likely to comply than other peoples around the world.
One of the subjects of the original experiment stated he would oppose the draft. (with a proper debrief) I think everyone should have a Milgram event in their life. I think everyone should have the opportunity to learn just how susceptible they are as individuals.
... In all fairness, maybe she is aware, and my comments at the end of the class caught her at a distracted moment.
