Episode notes
Milgram Experiment
- In the Milgram experiment, participants were told to administer increasingly strong shocks to another person.
- 65% of participants administered what they believed to be lethal shocks simply because an authority figure told them to.
Power of a Uniform
- In the "power of a uniform" experiment, a man in a suit had significantly more people follow him across the street against a traffic light than when he wore casual clothes.
- This demonstrated the influence of appearance on perceived authority.
Bystander Effect
- The bystander effect shows that the more people present during an emergency, the less likely anyone is to help.
- This is because people conform to the inaction of the group, demonstrating social authority.
