Question

In Milgram's experiment: A. two-thirds of people refused to participate. B. the "learner'sometimes had lasting injuries. C. almost no one went to 450 volts. D. almost two-thirds of participants went all the way to 450 volts.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:**D. almost two-thirds of participants went all the way to 450 volts.**### Explanation:Milgram's experiment, conducted by psychologist Stanley Milgram in the 1960s, was designed to study obedience to authority figures. Participants were instructed to administer electric shocks to a "learner" (who was actually an actor and not receiving real shocks) whenever the learner gave incorrect answers. The voltage levels increased with each wrong answer, going up to a maximum of 450 volts.Key findings from the experiment:- **Approximately 65% (almost two-thirds) of participants obeyed the authority figure and administered the maximum shock of 450 volts**, despite hearing the "learner" protest or scream in pain.- This demonstrated that ordinary people are capable of following orders from an authority figure, even when those orders conflict with their personal morals.The other options are incorrect because:- **A:** Two-thirds of people did not refuse; instead, they complied with the instructions.- **B:** The "learner" was an actor and did not suffer any actual injuries.- **C:** Almost no one stopping at 450 volts is false; most participants went all the way to 450 volts.
