Book Author: Stanley Milgram
Chapter 9:
In this Chapter, Milgram describes two variations on his experiment. He then discusses the effect of the group. Next, he gives us his definition of conformity and obedience. According to him, the main differences is that obedience to authority requires some type of hierarchical system while conformity is simply following suit, but does not necessarily mean obedience.
Chapter 10:
In this chapter, Milgram attempts to figure the root causes of obedience. This analysis is mainly based off of the experiments described in the previous chapters. We also learn a new term from Milgram which is agentic. The agentic state occurs in the case of a person feeling they have been called upon to carry out a person's deeds. This state, says Milgram, is an important block to his analysis.
Chapter 11:
In this chapter, Milgram explores what things can help predict a person's behaviour lik a person's upbringing, the institutions he's been in, and if he has been subject to any type of rewards system. Milgram also analyzes the behaviours observed during experimentation and tries to justify them. Some possible explanations are: a perception of a genuine authoritative figure, the lack of any objections to the authority figure, and a visible link between the function andcommands being given.
The agentic state is also further explained with its characteristics.
Chapter 12:
Chapter 12 changes the focus on obedience and its origin to disobedience. Indeed, he discusses what sources produce strain and ways people recuperate from strain through explicit acts of disobedience with the authority. This also can be translated by physical responses such as trembling and sweating.
Chapter 13:
In chapter 13 Milgram provides a different angle on his analysis: Aggression. For him, that cannot be used as a valid explanation though. He also mentions soldiers and a different experiment done by Buss and Berkowitz that investigated aggression.
Chapter 14:
In chapter 14, Milgram defends some of the assertions that have been brought up to nullify his experiments. Some of them are about his findings. How could his findings be valid considering subjects did not think they were really shocking other people. Another criticism is on the pool of people from which he chose to conduct his experiment. Another criticism is on the feasibility of the experiment outside of a laboratory setting. Milgram address each critic one by one.
