In 2009 a series of prank phone calls
were made to hotels, restaurants, and
fast food chains. The caller pretended
to be in some position of authority
and then convinced the person on the
line to commit various acts of
vandalism.
Dr. Stanley Milgram conducted experiments to determine the
willingness of participants to obey the orders of an authority
figure who instructed them to do things that conflicted with
their own judgement or morals.
Three people participate in the experiment - the
experimenter, the teacher, and the learner. Only
the teacher is unaware of the actual experiment.
The teacher is instructed to give a small electrical
shock to the learner for each incorrect answer. As
the experiment progresses, the shock level increases.
65% of participants (24/40) administered the maximum 450 watt shock
though many showed extreme discomfort and concern for the situation.
