Or just an Eichmann thing?

Even when they stopped screaming?

In 1962, Stanley Milgram shocked the world with his study on obedience.

Like this guy did.

Alex Haslam, professor of psychology at the University of Exeter.

Then a different picture will emerge.

Really, that story has been told...

million and one times for the last 50 years we've just got to get got to get everywhere now what you need to understand about alex haslam is that he hates it when interviewers only want to talk about the baseline study the one that everybody knows the so-called baseline the 65 one the one we just talked about yeah so there's more there's more to it yeah because actually he studied between 20 and 40

different variants of this same paradigm.

He would change where the shocker and the shocky sat.

He had women participants.

He had an experimenter who wasn't a scientist but was a member of the general public.

Let me, I mean, I'm just, I've got in front of me, I've just got the...

The data from the Milgram study, let me just get that out.

Obedience drops to about 40%.

And in experiment number four, when the teacher has to hold the learner's hand down on a plate in order for him to feel the shocks, it drops to about 30%.

Wow.

Experiment 14.

If the experimenter is not a scientist but is an ordinary man... Not wearing a white coat.

Obedience drops to 20%.
